Senior Software Engineer, Backend (Consumer - Coinbase One)

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.

We are seeking a candidate who is passionate about our mission, believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system, and who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high-caliber colleagues. You should actively seek feedback to keep leveling up and run towards solving the company’s hardest problems.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.

Coinbase One redefines what it means to be a member of the crypto community by providing benefits like zero trading fees, boosted staking rewards, account protection, an account-linked credit card and priority support to members. Our vision is to create a membership that users can't afford not to get, and one that becomes a reason users choose Coinbase over all other competitors.
