Gemini is a global crypto and Web3 platform founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in 2014, offering a wide range of simple, reliable, and secure crypto products and services to individuals and institutions in over 70 countries. Our mission is to unlock the next era of financial, creative, and personal freedom by providing trusted access to the decentralized future. We envision a world where crypto reshapes the global financial system, internet, and money to create greater choice, independence, and opportunity for all — bridging traditional finance with the emerging cryptoeconomy in a way that is more open, fair, and secure. As a publicly traded company, Gemini is poised to accelerate this vision with greater scale, reach, and impact.
Our Platform organization’s purpose is to enable Gemini to scale effectively and empower our engineering teams to focus on building innovative financial products and experiences for individuals around the world. Platform builds a scalable and secure foundation that enables Engineering to develop, deploy, validate, and operate services in production; improve reliability; reduce repetitive operational work; and improve system efficiency through architectural improvements.
The Platform team builds products for engineers. We work directly with product, application engineering, data, and security teams to understand their needs, establish safe defaults, and provide standard workflows for building and operating services. We treat internal platforms as production software with users, service-level objectives, roadmaps, documentation, and feedback loops.
You will provide technical leadership for the software and infrastructure that form Gemini’s internal engineering platform. This is a software engineering role grounded in deep production and infrastructure experience. You will build self-service systems, developer tools, and automation that improve the way teams create, deploy, scale, observe, and operate services.
You will shape platform strategy across cloud, networking, compute, storage, infrastructure automation, CI/CD, and the systems required to run highly available services in production. You will partner with engineering, security, data, and product leaders to turn broad operational needs into reliable platform products, establish clear technical direction, and drive adoption across teams.
You will make infrastructure programmable, secure, observable, and resilient; use SLOs and error budgets to guide tradeoffs; and continuously replace manual operational work with well-designed software. The role spans software, systems, and infrastructure engineering, with an emphasis on solving cross-functional problems and delivering measurable improvements to developer productivity and production reliability.
What success looks like in this role: Engineers can safely self-serve common workflows through documented, well-supported platform products. Platform capabilities are adopted because they reduce complexity and improve outcomes. Reliability, deployment safety, developer experience, and infrastructure efficiency improve measurably over time. Operational load grows more slowly than the number and scale of services supported by the team. Platform engineers remain close to production while spending the majority of their time on durable software and systems improvements.
