Senior Software Engineer, Backend (Consumer - International)

Details

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’re seeking a candidate who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. You should relish working with high-caliber colleagues, actively seek feedback, and run towards solving the company’s hardest problems. Coinbase’s work culture is intense and not for everyone; many roles are remote-first but not remote-only, and in-person participation is required throughout the year for team and company-wide offsites. Attendance is expected and supported.

Coinbase is seeking experienced backend engineers to build the next generation of crypto-forward products and features. You will solve unique, large-scale, highly complex technical problems, bridging constraints posed by web-scale applications and blockchain technology. You will help build systems to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone globally, operating real-time applications with high frequency, low latency updates, and managing secure, dockerized infrastructure running in the cloud.

The Consumer Product Group strives to make the Coinbase retail app the easiest-to-use and fastest experience for accessing crypto. Join Coinbase's Country Expansion team to influence the future of cryptocurrency adoption in Canada. Collaborate with the Country Director, Product Managers, and cross-functional teams to customize the Coinbase app for the Canadian market and strategically shape Coinbase's presence through innovative features and a customer-first approach.
