Whether you are an individual or an institution, we want to help you buy, sell, and store your bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Crypto is not just a technology, it's a movement.At Gemini, our mission is to empower the individual and that includes giving our employees flexibility of choice - our Office Optional Policy allows employees to choose to work from one of our physical locations or from home.
The Department: Crypto CoreThe Role: Senior Site Reliability EngineerIn our work, we research applicable cloud software and hardware security approaches to implement tools and approaches to support our signing environment. This work extends from the hardware (eg, trusted platform modules or TPMs, hardware security modules or HSMs, and trusted execution environments or TEEs) to the application layer (eg, application layer communication protocols). Given the need to build and integrate many of these security engineering components, the ideal software security engineer will have a high degree of experience in system security and one or more cloud environments.
This engineer will also work closely with various teams including our Security Operations, Product Security, Wallet Engineering, and Platform Engineering teams. 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.
Responsibilities:Design, build, deploy, and maintain software and security solutions supporting the Signing teamDevelop tools and automation that integrate security into systems and processImprove the capabilities of the existing signing security infrastructure with a mindset towards infrastructure as codeImprove availability and reliability while maintaining acceptable security Integrate the use of hardware security mechanisms into the secure build infrastructure. Example hardware security mechanisms include a trusted platform module (TPM), hardware security module (HSM), trusted execution environment (TEE), smartcard, and/or other similar hardware key storage mechanisms. Example applications of these mechanisms include key storage, signing, encryption, code attestation, and secure bootParticipate in disaster recovery (DR) scenarios to validate operability of physical and digital materialMinimum Qualifications:2+ years implementing software with security primitivesHands-on experience in at least one or more cloud platforms (eg, AWS, GCP, Azure, or others)Hands-on expertise with at least one area of software securityStrong understanding of systems/network security, secure protocol design, secure build and supply chain management, encryption, authentication, key management and applied cryptographyExperience implementing software automation processes applied in a software security environmentProficiency in a common scripting language including but not limited to Python, Ruby, etc.
