Summary

The Department: Trading

Gemini is a regulated, full service, crypto service provider where engineering is the core of the company. There’s a wide range of tough problems to solve at Gemini – from properly securing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of customer funds, to developing innovative new blockchain products, to finding new techniques to combat fraud, to shaving microseconds off our API response times, and everything in between.

All of Gemini’s engineers are able to work across the software platform, not just on their own specialization or subteam. We value a thoughtful, collaborative software development process, coupled with a pragmatic approach to problem solving and delivering software.

1. Conceive, assemble, and deliver the financial platform that meets the OTC team’s functional and non-functional requirements for our global broker/dealer platform
2. Build out our global liquidity network at scale across the key financial centers world wide

4. Realize and promote the domain model and architecture for our broker/dealer platform
