The Platform Security team secures Gemini's infrastructure through service hardening and by developing and supporting a suite of foundational tools.

As a Senior Platform Security Engineer, you will build and maintain security controls across diverse environments—from hardening cloud and container orchestration systems to enhancing our non-cloud infrastructure.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll write production code daily, not just configuration.

You'll own security initiatives from design through production operations.

This role requires strong software development skills, practical experience with AWS and Kubernetes security, and the ability to partner with engineering teams to enable secure delivery.

You will also apply expertise in critical neighboring areas, including PKI, core cryptography, identity management, and network security, to ensure comprehensive protection across the stack.

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.
