At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world by building the emerging onchain platform and the future global financial system.

This role expects a candidate who is passionate about crypto and blockchain, eager to work with high-caliber colleagues, and prepared to contribute technically and managerially to growth-focused consumer products.

• Work closely with talent/recruiting to identify and hire exceptional engineers aligned with Coinbase's culture.
• Contribute to and take ownership of processes that drive engineering quality and meet engineering SLAs.
• Collaborate tightly with product and design to create best-in-class product experiences and translate ideas into high-value features.

Requirements

• At least 7 years of experience in software engineering, especially with web-scale traffic.
• At least 2 years of engineering management experience.

• Passion for building an open financial system and conviction in crypto/blockchain technology.
• Experience designing, building, scaling, and maintaining production services over time.
• High bar for product excellence combined with comprehensive observability practices.
• Keeps up-to-date with industry standards and best practices.
