You'll join a high-performing team driving AI transformation as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer on the IT Operations team. The team builds and scales the infrastructure powering Coinbase's AI products. You'll own the reliability and automation of critical AI infrastructure, ensuring systems are resilient, observable, and secure at scale.

Partner with the Coinbase Infrastructure team to extend CI/CD frameworks supporting IT services and enterprise network platforms; partner with Security and Compliance to integrate surveillance tooling into deployment pipelines.
Strengthen observability and documentation standards across IT engineering by defining metrics, implementing monitoring solutions, and maintaining technical documentation.
Develop full-stack applications that power internal AI products and infrastructure using Go or Python.

Requirements

5+ years of experience automating and supporting cloud infrastructure (AWS) and network environments, with hands-on use of infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or Salt).
Proven experience deploying, managing, and troubleshooting containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes in production.
Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, Ruby, or Go) and experience with Git-based CI/CD pipelines.
Track record of leading incident response in environments with strict SLAs, including root cause analysis, blameless retros, and measurable reliability improvements.
Responsible use of generative AI with human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable workflow, cost, and quality improvements.
