## Description

Gemini is looking for a Staff Platform Engineer to provide technical leadership for the software and infrastructure that form Gemini's internal engineering platform.

The Platform organization's purpose is to enable Gemini to scale effectively and empower engineering teams to focus on building innovative financial products and experiences.

As a Staff Platform Engineer, you will build self-service systems, developer tools, and automation that improve the way teams create, deploy, scale, observe, and operate services.

Responsibilities:

- Set technical direction for platform capabilities and contribute to a long-term plan for cloud, networking, infrastructure, delivery, and reliability engineering.

- Lead architecture recommendations and technical engagements across the software development lifecycle.

- Design, build, and maintain platform services, APIs, CLIs, controllers, workflows, and automation.

- Build self-service capabilities that let engineers provision environments, deploy services, manage infrastructure, and respond to operational conditions.

- Improve the systems and workflows used to provision infrastructure, connect services, deliver changes, and recover from failures.

- Define and use service-level indicators, SLOs, error budgets, and production-readiness standards.

- Improve observability, alerting, capacity planning, performance, and failure handling.

- Lead or coordinate response to significant incidents and turn recurring operational work into permanent improvements.

- Reduce repetitive operational work and measure it.

- Influence engineering standards and practices across teams.

- Build alignment across competing priorities and stakeholders.

- Mentor engineers and develop technical leaders.

Qualifications:

- 8+ years of professional software engineering, infrastructure engineering, SRE, or equivalent experience.

- Strong software engineering ability in at least one language such as Go, Python, TypeScript, Rust, or similar.

- Demonstrated experience operating infrastructure and distributed systems in production.

- Experience designing, operating, or improving production systems across cloud infrastructure, networking, compute, storage, deployment platforms, or related infrastructure domains.

- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure and infrastructure as code.

- Experience with containers and orchestration, such as Kubernetes, EKS, GKE, AKS, Docker, or Nomad.

- Experience owning and managing cloud network security controls.

- Experience designing or improving CI/CD and automated software delivery systems.

- Practical experience with observability: metrics, logs, traces, alerting, dashboards, and production health models.

- Working knowledge of SLOs, error budgets, incident response, blameless postmortems, and techniques for reducing operational toil.

- Experience with high-availability architectures, capacity planning, failure recovery, and operational tradeoffs.

- Experience building secure-by-default systems and collaborating with security teams.

- Ability to learn unfamiliar technologies and domains quickly.

- Track record of setting technical direction, leading architecture, and influencing decisions.

- Experience mentoring engineers, developing technical leaders, and communicating complex technical tradeoffs.
