Details

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, Coinbase is seeking a candidate who is passionate about crypto and blockchain technology, eager to work with high-caliber colleagues, and comfortable with high expectations and feedback. The company is remote-first but not remote-only; in-person participation is required throughout the year for team and company-wide offsites (attendance expected and supported).

Team Information

Where does the price you see on Coinbase actually come from? Behind every trade, chart, wallet balance, and DeFi position is the Asset Data Platform. The team collects, normalizes, and serves asset metadata, real-time prices, and historical data at massive scale—ensuring customers see accurate, up-to-the-second information whether they are trading on Coinbase Exchange, exploring DeFi with Coinbase Wallet (TBA), or monitoring their portfolio performance.

The Asset Data Platform powers hundreds of services at Coinbase and must run under extreme scale and scrutiny; uptime and accuracy are critical. This is a visible and business-critical engineering platform where engineers solve complex problems in distributed systems, scalability, and operational excellence.
