At Gemini, our mission is to unlock the next era of financial, creative, and personal freedom.

The Department: Onchain

Our team’s mission is to enable Gemini’s internal and external users to seamlessly interact with blockchain networks in a stable, secure, straightforward way. The Onchain group builds Gemini’s onramps to the blockchain “from CSS to ECDSA.” Our teams are solving problems across the entire crypto product user journey, including the user experience of crypto transfers, custody and staking down to the lowest levels of blockchain protocols and cryptographic signing algorithms. Our systems facilitate on-chain transactions for billions of USD worth of digital assets using state-of-the-art technology and security. We have openings across many of our teams, including Asset Transfers, Staking, Cloud Wallets, Protocols, Signing, and Blockchain Infrastructure. The teams are small, capable, agile, and have extensive ownership of the systems and solutions. We are continually growing, solving unique problems, and discovering new opportunities.

The Role: Senior Software Engineer (Frontend)

​​As a Senior Software Engineer in the Onchain domain, you will work with talented engineers to enhance and expand the features of our blockchain-based products and the supporting platforms, including the Staking, Transfers, and Custody products. You will participate in solutioning for new features and products, helping to drive innovation to bring new value to users. You will contribute to the technical direction and engineering culture within your product team, leveling-up junior engineers in the process. You will also help drive operational excellence in our systems and processes. Our goal is to design, develop, deploy, and support user-facing distributed systems that serve millions of users, with a focus on safety, security, and user experience. We believe in fixing what's broken, automating wherever possible, and constantly improving our processes.

This role is required to be in person twice a week at either our Seattle, WA or New York City, NY office.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement responsive, high-performance web applications using React and TypeScript.
  • Integrate smart contract interactions and on-chain data using libraries such as ethers.js and wagmi.
  • Collaborate with blockchain engineers, product managers, and designers to ship high-quality, user-focused features.

  • Apply secure coding practices and ensure best-in-class performance and accessibility.
  • Stay up to date with Web3 trends and tooling to continuously evolve our front-end capabilities.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of collaboration and technical excellence.

Qualifications:

  • Proficiency with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and front-end testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Playwright, Cypress).
  • Hands-on experience integrating with blockchain applications or protocols (e.g., using MetaMask, WalletConnect, ethers.js).
  • Deep understanding of web development fundamentals, including accessibility, performance optimization, and responsive design.
  • Familiarity with Web3 architecture and concepts such as smart contracts, RPC endpoints, gas fees, and decentralized applications (dApps).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.

  • Competitive starting salary
  • A discretionary annual bonus

When determining a candidate’s compensation, we consider a number of factors including skillset, experience, job scope, and current market data.

In the United States, we have a flexible hybrid work policy for employees who live within 30 miles of our office headquartered in New York City and our office in Seattle. Employees within the New York and Seattle metropolitan areas are expected to work from the designated office twice a week, unless there is a job-specific requirement to be in the office every workday. Employees outside of these areas are considered part of our remote-first workforce. We believe our hybrid approach for those near our NYC and Seattle offices increases productivity through more in-person collaboration where possible.

Gemini's journey began in 2014, founded by the identical twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Their vision was to build a bridge to the future of money, creating a secure and regulated platform for the burgeoning world of cryptocurrency. This wasn't their first foray into the tech world; the Winklevoss twins were early figures in the social networking landscape, known for their involvement with a company that predated Facebook and a subsequent high-profile legal dispute with Mark Zuckerberg. This background, however, seemed to fuel their determination to innovate in a new digital frontier.

From its inception, Gemini was designed with a 'security-first' mentality. The company sought to differentiate itself by embracing regulation, a move that was somewhat novel in the early days of crypto. They obtained a New York trust company charter, subjecting them to stringent capital reserve requirements, cybersecurity mandates, and banking compliance standards enforced by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS). This commitment to regulatory oversight was a deliberate strategy to build trust with both individual and institutional investors. Over the years, Gemini steadily expanded its offerings. It wasn't just about buying and selling Bitcoin; the platform grew to support a wide array of digital assets. Key developments included the introduction of trading for other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, the launch of block trading capabilities, and in September 2018, the creation of the Gemini dollar (GUSD), the world's first regulated stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar. The company also ventured into the NFT space with the acquisition of Nifty Gateway in 2019. A significant milestone came in November 2021 when Gemini secured $400 million in a growth equity funding round, valuing the parent company, Gemini Space Station, LLC, at $7.1 billion. This capital infusion was earmarked for further product development, including the Gemini Credit Card, and international expansion, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. Despite challenges in the volatile crypto market, including the halting of its Earn program in late 2022, Gemini has continued to operate and adapt, emphasizing its core mission of providing a secure and reliable gateway to the digital asset ecosystem.
