About The Company

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. 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 — bridging traditional finance with the emerging cryptoeconomy in a way that is more open, fair, and secure. As a publicly traded company, Gemini is poised to accelerate this vision with greater scale, reach, and impact.

Department

Platform Security

Role

Director, Platform Security

Location & Work Arrangement

This role requires in‑person attendance twice a week at either our San Francisco, CA or New York City, NY office. We offer a hybrid work approach at our hub offices, balancing the benefits of in‑person collaboration with the flexibility of remote work. Employees who do not live near one of our hubs are part of our remote workforce.

Responsibilities

  • Strategic and technical leadership of Gemini's Platform Security team
  • Align team‑wide strategy with the needs of the business, internal partners, and peer Security leadership
  • Enable the ongoing success & growth of the team through creation of hiring plans and hands‑on mentorship
  • Establish a Platform Security roadmap for initiatives that will provide ever‑increasing maturity of capabilities for stakeholders, while also reducing toil through automation
  • Foster trust‑centric relationships with key partner teams, ensuring that their voices are heard and needs are being met, while achieving excellent security outcomes together
  • Lead the development of security policies, procedures, standards, & guidelines that will guide functional security outcomes with all GRC and Audits needs being met
  • Determine program KPIs that will meaningfully highlight where we’re succeeding, or falling short of, the mission we aim to accomplish for the business
  • Provide guidance through lived‑experience and industry awareness on the different approaches to architecture, security engineering, and business‑achievement goals
  • Define a customer‑first process, choosing to provide self‑service solutions that minimize friction, create agility, and provide value‑oriented ways to solve problems
  • Manage relevant third‑party vendor relationships, leading the determination of when & why to “build” vs. “buy” in response to gaps in capabilities the business may have

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of leadership experience for cloud‑native engineering and / or security teams, with a strong preference for Amazon Web Services (AWS)‑based organizations
  • 10+ years of direct, technical experience in relevant roles (e.g., Platform Engineering, Security)
  • Strong experience in AWS, EKS (Kubernetes), IAM, Terraform, GitHub Enterprise Cloud
  • Experience leveraging industry security frameworks & standards that act as the basis of maturing the overall security program and enable successful business outcomes
  • Comfortable with hiring & scaling a team
  • Prior success in leading a team through organizational change management, with a strong preference for start‑up experience in a technology‑centric business
  • Able to easily communicate with technical stakeholders at their level, hearing their feedback and translating those needs or concerns into program‑level outcomes
  • Pragmatic about security requirements, ignoring “best practices” that don’t make sense to the needs of the business by leveraging your team’s expertise for decision making
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with an attention to detail
  • Benefits & Compensation

  • Competitive starting salary
  • A discretionary annual bonus
  • Long‑term incentive in the form of a new hire equity grant
  • Comprehensive health plans
  • 401(K) with company matching
  • Paid parental leave
  • Flexible time off
  • Salary Range

    The base salary range for this role is $230,750 – $355,000 in the State of New York, the State of California, and the State of Washington. This range does not include our discretionary bonus or equity package.

    Equal Opportunity Employer

    Gemini is an equal‑opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or veteran status.
