Our vision
is to bring more innovation, efficiency, and equality of opportunity to
the world by building an open financial system. Our first step on that journey
is making digital currency accessible and approachable for everyone.
Two principles guide our efforts. First, be the most trusted company in
our domain. Second, focus on the needs of our customers and create
products that are easy to use.
The GDAX team plays a critical role
in executing on that vision. We’re building the most secure and trusted
digital asset exchange for institutions and professional traders. We
take on hard engineering problems around scalability, security and
financial safety to help our customers invest in the rapidly growing
digital asset space, and to protect their investments.
This is where you come in - you’ll
work closely with product, customer success, and design teams to build
trading features that our customers want. You’ll collaborate with a wide
variety of engineering and non-engineering teams to add new digital
assets, build trust and safety features, and design trading
infrastructure. If you’re excited about hard financial and distributed
systems problems, like scaling and building financial systems that can
handle thousands of trades per second at really low latencies, we should
talk.
A little about us: we’re a full-stack
product team with experts in frontend, backend, trading, product, and
design. We care deeply about our tools - we’ve built out a proprietary
trading infrastructure, high-throughput matching engine, asynchronous
settlement services, a React based frontend, a service oriented NodeJS
backend and more. We are running continuous integration with multiple
deploys going out daily. We value positive energy, continuous learning,
and clear communication and are committed to building an inclusive
environment for people from every background.
