The Department: Marketplace
The Role: Senior Software Engineer (Backend)
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll help solve complex problems that will directly influence the direction of the digital asset space. We are a team of self-starters, self-driven owners. There’s a wide range of problems to solve at Gemini – from properly securing millions of dollars worth of customer funds, to developing innovative new blockchain products, to building highly-available and high-scale systems on the cloud, to building anomaly detection models to identify risky behavior. We have a strong culture of code reviews, and a focus on security, with the end goal of writing and shipping high-quality code by getting things right the first time. We want to continue building the best product we can as we scale and grow our business. If you get excited about solving technical challenges that directly impact our customers, clients, and the rest of the Gemini team, we’d love to hear from you.
Responsibilities:
- Develop new products and product features on the Gemini platform, as part of a tight knit team of about eight developers, as well document designs.
- Own the DevOps lifecycle for a product; building, validating and maintaining high quality products through its lifetime.
- Provide technical input and knowledge to the planning, design, and requirements process for new products and features.
- Author high quality code, and review other software engineers’ code for correctness, style, and information security concerns.
- Improve the performance, maintainability, and operations of the Gemini code base by engaging in occasional refactoring and upgrade projects.
Minimum Qualifications:
- At least 6 years of software engineering experience.
- Building microservices in the cloud (AWS, Azure etc) and building high-available services at scale.
- Advanced proficiency in at least one programming language like Java, Rust, C++, Scala. We use mostly Scala and C++ on our backend – it’s great if you’re comfortable in those or if you’re willing to learn.
- The ability to work closely across teams (and time-zones) and manage dependencies.
- A customer and product-focused mindset, with the ability to make well-reasoned tradeoffs between speed and quality.
- The ability to adapt and handle multiple competing priorities in collaboration with peers.
