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.
The Department: Engineering
Gemini is regulated and licensed like a bank, but it’s run like a tech startup, and engineering is the core of the company. There’s a wide range of tough problems to solve at Gemini – from properly securing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of customer funds, to developing innovative new blockchain products, to finding new techniques to combat fraud, to shaving microseconds off our API response times, and everything in between. All of Gemini’s engineers are able to work across the software platform, not just on their own specialization or subteam. We value a thoughtful, collaborative software development process, coupled with a pragmatic approach to problem solving and delivering software.

We want to continue building the best product we can as we scale and grow our business. If you get excited about solving technical challenges that directly impact our customers, clients, and the rest of the Gemini team, we’d love to hear from you. There are opportunities for frontend and/or backend work depending on your interests and strengths.
This will be a semester long internship program with 3 days a week in person at our New York City, NY office from January to April 2027.

- Contribute technical ideas and solutions during planning and design discussions, influencing the direction of key initiatives.
- Review and critique code with a focus on correctness, performance, and security – while learning best practices from experienced engineers.
- Enhance the reliability, performance, and maintainability of Gemini’s systems through thoughtful refactoring and continuous improvement projects.
- Take part in supporting production systems by helping diagnose and resolve alerts or bugs, gaining hands-on experience with real-world operations at scale.
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (Bachelor’s, Associate’s, or Master’s).
- Passionate about blockchain, digital assets, and the Web3 industry – a genuine drive to make an impact in this space is essential.
- Solid understanding of core software engineering and coding concepts, with curiosity to go deeper and learn quickly. Self-motivated and proactive – you take initiative, ask smart questions, and push projects forward without waiting to be told what to do.
- Strong communication skills: able to clearly articulate ideas, provide updates, and collaborate effectively in a team setting.
- Open to feedback and committed to growth – willing to challenge yourself, learn from experience, and raise the bar with every project.
Pay Rate:
The hourly pay rate for this role is $50/hour in the State of New York. When determining a candidate’s compensation, we consider a number of factors including skillset, experience, job scope, and current market data.
In the United States, we offer a hybrid work approach at our hub offices, balancing the benefits of in-person collaboration with the flexibility of remote work.

Get Access To All JobsSoftware Engineering Manager CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Software Engineering Manager role qualify for CPT authorization?
It qualifies if your DSO can document a direct connection between the position and your enrolled curriculum. Engineering management, product development, or advanced systems courses are the most defensible ties. The position description should align with your program's learning outcomes, and your DSO will need that documentation before issuing the CPT authorization on your I-20.
Can I work full-time as a Software Engineering Manager on CPT?
Full-time CPT is permitted, but you must account for the 12-month rule. If you accumulate 12 or more months of full-time CPT across all authorizations, you lose OPT eligibility permanently. Many F-1 students in management roles prefer part-time CPT during the academic year to preserve OPT, then transition to full-time during summer or a final semester.
What documentation do I need to secure CPT for a management role?
You'll need a formal job offer letter specifying the role title, start date, hours per week, and work location. Your DSO will also require evidence that the position connects to your academic program, such as a faculty letter or course requirement documentation. Some schools require a signed learning agreement between you, your employer, and the institution.
How do I find Software Engineering Manager roles where employers understand CPT?
Search on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers with verified sponsorship and LCA filing history for technical management titles. Employers already experienced with LCA filings for engineering roles are more likely to understand CPT authorization requirements and have HR processes in place to onboard F-1 students without lengthy internal approval delays.
Will CPT experience as a Software Engineering Manager count toward future H-1B sponsorship?
CPT work experience is fully creditable as U.S. work history when an employer files your H-1B visa petition. Your time managing engineering teams, scoping technical projects, and leading software delivery under CPT authorization strengthens the specialty occupation argument and demonstrates the degree-level complexity USCIS evaluates for managerial roles in technical fields.
