Summary

The Department: Information Security

In the emerging industry of digital assets, there is nothing more important than trust. The Gemini security team forms the backbone of trust. In fact, Gemini’s very first hires were security specialists and we continue to tackle unique challenges in the crypto space. Our team ensures that our customers, clients, and employees are safe, secure, and supported.

The Role: Senior Technical Program Manager

As a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM), you will drive complex, cross-functional InfoSec initiatives for teams that juggle frequent operational “firefighting” alongside planned security projects. You wear three technical hats: agilista, project manager, and program manager. You bring a pragmatic agile mindset, excel at identifying and removing blockers, and thrive in both fast-paced corporate and production environments. Your focus is on enabling full transparency, aligning priorities, optimizing processes, and ensuring on-time, high-quality security outcomes through hands-on collaboration with technical teams, clear communication, and proactive risk mitigation. Overall, the right candidate is a seasoned PM/Agile professional with enough technical and InfoSec knowledge to credibly drive and deliver security-focused projects in a cloud operations environment, plus the communication and leadership skills to keep cross-functional teams on track—even when “firefighting” incidents regularly disrupt the schedule.

Responsibilities:

1. Align Priorities & Schedules: Collaborate with InfoSec leads to define realistic timelines, ensuring day-to-day operational demands don’t derail project goals.
2. Facilitate Agile Workflows: Introduce or refine lightweight processes (e.g., Kanban, Scrumban) to handle operations without compromising strategic milestones.
3. Risk & Issue Management: Use your technical expertise to identify and address complex technical or scheduling risks early, guiding the team in making informed decisions that balance immediate incident response with longer-term security initiatives.
4. Cross-Functional Coordination: Provide transparent reporting on progress, dependencies, and blockers, enabling swift decision-making across engineering, security, and other stakeholders.
5. Continuous Improvement: Evaluate communication channels, tooling, and collaboration methods to boost productivity and deliver secure solutions at scale.

Minimum Qualifications:

1. 5+ years of experience overseeing, steering, and delivering complex engineering projects in fast-paced, operationally heavy cloud environments.
2. High emotional intelligence - knowing how to motivate, mentor, and support teams dealing with operationally heavy workloads.
3. Strong knowledge of agile practices, CI/CD, and DevOps culture, with a proven ability to adapt workflows for frequent unplanned tasks.
4. Experience building and operating complex workflows, integrations, and automations using Jira.
5. Technical acumen (engineering, computer science, or related background) and comfortable enough with the tech stack enabling you to grasp complex challenges, remove blockers, and facilitate meaningful technical discussions to guide teams effectively.
6. Hands-on (not passive) Information Security expertise, whether through dedicated security roles or engineering projects with a security emphasis.
7. Demonstrated stakeholder management and communication skills, with the capacity to keep cross-functional teams aligned under tight deadlines.

Preferred Qualifications:

1. Knowledge of cryptocurrency exchanges or the fintech security landscape.
2. Experience scaling fast-paced, global engineering teams and programs.
3. Expertise in data analytics, data engineering, or business intelligence.
