Company mission

To unlock the next era of financial, creative and personal freedom

Role

Who you are

  • 5+ years of experience overseeing, steering, and delivering complex engineering projects in fast-paced, operationally heavy cloud environments
  • High emotional intelligence - knowing how to motivate, mentor, and support teams dealing with operationally heavy workloads
  • Strong knowledge of agile practices, CI/CD, and DevOps culture, with a proven ability to adapt workflows for frequent unplanned tasks
  • Experience building and operating complex workflows, integrations, and automations using Jira
  • Technical acumen (engineering, computer science, or related background) and comfortable enough with the tech stack enabling you to grasp complex challenges, remove blockers, and facilitate meaningful technical discussions to guide teams effectively
  • Hands-on (not passive) Information Security expertise, whether through dedicated security roles or engineering projects with a security emphasis
  • Demonstrated stakeholder management and communication skills, with the capacity to keep cross-functional teams aligned under tight deadlines

Desirable

  • Knowledge of cryptocurrency exchanges or the fintech security landscape
  • Experience scaling fast-paced, global engineering teams and programs
  • Expertise in data analytics, data engineering, or business intelligence

What the job involves

  • As a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM), you will drive complex, cross-functional InfoSec initiatives for teams that juggle frequent operational “firefighting” alongside planned security projects
  • You wear three technical hats: agilista, project manager, and program manager. You bring a pragmatic agile mindset, excel at identifying and removing blockers, and thrive in both fast-paced corporate and production environments
  • Your focus is on enabling full transparency, aligning priorities, optimizing processes, and ensuring on-time, high-quality security outcomes through hands-on collaboration with technical teams, clear communication, and proactive risk mitigation
  • Overall, the right candidate is a seasoned PM/Agile professional with enough technical and InfoSec knowledge to credibly drive and deliver security-focused projects in a cloud operations environment, plus the communication and leadership skills to keep cross-functional teams on track—even when “firefighting” incidents regularly disrupt the schedule
  • Align Priorities & Schedules: Collaborate with InfoSec leads to define realistic timelines, ensuring day-to-day operational demands don’t derail project goals
  • Facilitate Agile Workflows: Introduce or refine lightweight processes (e.g., Kanban, Scrumban) to handle operations without compromising strategic milestones
  • Risk & Issue Management: Use your technical expertise to identify and address complex technical or scheduling risks early, guiding the team in making informed decisions that balance immediate incident response with longer-term security initiatives
  • Cross-Functional Coordination: Provide transparent reporting on progress, dependencies, and blockers, enabling swift decision-making across engineering, security, and other stakeholders
  • Continuous Improvement: Evaluate communication channels, tooling, and collaboration methods to boost productivity and deliver secure solutions at scale

Our take

Gemini is a cryptocurrency exchange platform that's known for offering excellent security as well as being available across the US, including in New York - a state not often covered by crypto exchanges.

As a trading platform, Gemini is one of many, but a dedication to innovation and a commitment to working within FCA regulations are what make it stand out from the crowd. After acquiring Blockrize in 2021, the company launched a credit card for US customers that enables them to earn a small percentage of spending back in bitcoin rewards. They also launched the Gemini dollar, a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin, that combines the price stability of the US dollar with the technological advantages of a cryptocurrency.

The crypto exchange market is crowded with exchange platforms, and Gemini's competitors include giants like Coinbase. However, by operating within regulations and with the recent announcement of its official registration as a digital asset service provider in Europe (where it serves more than a dozen countries), Gemini is in a strong position to face the continued crackdown on unauthorized activity in this market and make a space for itself in the DeFi future.
