About the Position

We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer, Tooling (Product) to join our team at Gemini, a global crypto and Web3 platform. This role is pivotal in setting the technical direction for our customer-facing platform, ensuring it meets the needs of millions of users worldwide.

About the Company

Gemini is a global crypto and Web3 platform founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in 2014. 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.

Responsibilities

Own the technical vision and architecture for the customer-facing platform, designing for scale and reliability with a multi-year horizon.
Review critical designs across organizations and drive the designs for projects involving the hardest technical challenges at the company.
Be accountable for core company initiatives spanning onboarding, compliance (KYC/identity), and customer support.
Identify strategic direction in technology and product, proposing and adopting architecture and platform approaches that advance it.
Plan and deliver large, complex, cross-org programs with interdependencies across teams and systems.
Define patterns, operational guidelines, and engineering practices for your vertical(s), and extend process improvements across teams and command pilot units.
Provide critical technical guidance proactively, raising the security, reliability, and quality bar across the organization.
Act as a technical multiplier: mentor and develop engineers and future leaders, share knowledge, delegate to grow others, and lead initiatives across domains.

Requirements

12+ years of software engineering experience building and operating complex production systems at scale.
Recognized expertise in one or two core technical domains, with a track record of being accountable for company-level systems or initiatives end to end.
Fluency across multiple layers of the stack (backend services plus web and/or mobile) and willingness to go deep wherever a problem requires.
Proficiency in a typed language (e.g., TypeScript, Scala, Java, Go) and comfort with JavaScript/TypeScript on web and mobile surfaces.
Experience building consumer-facing applications with strong product and UX sensibility.
Fluency in using AI coding tools and automation, and a point of view on how to advance an agentic development practice.
Excellent communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical issues to diverse audiences and build alignment across organizations.

Nice to Have

Experience in the crypto or fintech industry, or as a user of crypto products.
Deep experience with onboarding, identity/KYC, compliance, or customer support tooling.
Experience architecting and operating AI agents or agentic workflows in production at scale.
Familiarity with React/React Native and cloud/microservices architecture.
A record of driving product and technical strategy with data and experimentation.
Experience representing engineering externally (talks, writing) or in cross-company technical collaboration.
