The Department: Crypto Core

The Role: Staff Site Reliability Engineer

The infrastructure team at Gemini creates and manages tools and platforms, automates the creation and support of this infrastructure, and helps integrate complex processes, and supports secure data access.

Security of customers’ digital assets and personal information held with Gemini is our first and foremost priority. The infrastructure team builds and operates environments for the purpose of digital asset access. There are three main pillars of work including building and running network nodes, building and running validators, and supporting our next generation wallet infrastructure. While this role will support all three focus areas, a particular focus will be on this next generation wallet infrastructure.

In our work, we use and implement tools and software to support our cloud-based infrastructure. Given the need to build and integrate more of our software in the cloud, the ideal engineer will have extensive experience in automating and building out cloud-based software (e.g., AWS or GCP), preferably with experience in using security mechanisms (e.g., Google KMS or AWS Nitro). This engineer will also work closely with various teams including various teams such as Product Security, Protocols, On-chain, and Custody.

We are a dynamic group with both entrepreneurial spirit and security engineering experience. We have incredibly high aspirations, and we are looking for like-minded individuals who want to guide the transition to a new more decentralized world where access to digital assets is normalized and ubiquitous.
