Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

The mission of the Platform Product Group engineers is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase. There are many teams that make up this group which include Product Foundations (i.e. Identity, Payment, Risk, Proofing & Regulatory, Finhub), Machine Learning, Customer Experience, and Infrastructure.

The unified onboarding team is tasked with creating a platform for user onboarding. This will enable Coinbase to launch new products or expand to new countries quickly, while maintaining the compliance and regulatory requirements.

  • Architect and develop platform for onboarding
  • Provide technical structure to teams and work closely with management and stakeholders to define strategic roadmaps
  • Manage individual projects priorities, deadlines and deliverables with your technical expertise
  • Mentor and train other team members on design techniques and coding standards
  • Write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers
  • Hands-on with coding
  • Plan and Implement the multi-year strategy for platform engineering with the technical leadership on your team
  • Collaborate with engineers, designers, product managers and senior leadership to turn our vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter
  • Add positive energy in every meeting, and make your coworkers feel included in every interaction

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering
  • You’ve 2+ years of experience with service oriented architecture
  • Experience in uplevelling junior engineers via processes and setting a high bar for them to follow
  • You know what high quality code — and software engineering processes — look like and know how to foster an environment that creates them
  • You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together

Nice to haves:

  • You’ve worked with Golang, gRPC and MongoDB
  • You’ve experience of building platforms
