Details
At Coinbase, the Developer Infrastructure group builds the systems every Coinbase engineer relies on to write, validate, ship, and run code. The group owns the path from commit to production, including CI and build infrastructure, deployment platforms, and test systems that provide fast, trustworthy feedback. Coinbase is remote-first (quarterly in-person "surges" are expected).
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate core developer infrastructure services across CI, build systems, deployment orchestration, and test infrastructure.
- Improve engineering productivity metrics, including build and CI time, deploy speed and safety, and test feedback quality.
- Own services end-to-end, including architecture, observability, SLOs, and on-call operations.
- Partner with engineering teams across Coinbase to understand pain points and turn them into platform improvements.
- Lead technical design for cross-cutting projects and drive them through production.
- Mentor engineers and help shape the technical direction of the platform.
