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).

  • 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.

Requirements

  • 5+ years building and operating production software, with strong distributed systems fundamentals and proficiency in Go or a similar language.
  • Track record of shipping high-impact backend or platform systems with ownership from design through production.
  • Strong operational instincts with a focus on reliability, security, and observability.
  • Clear communication and ability to drive projects independently while collaborating across teams.
  • Customer-focused mindset, measured by impact on other engineers.
  • Experience in developer infrastructure or platform domains such as CI/CD, build systems, release tooling, test infrastructure, or developer productivity.
  • Experience operating at scale with Kubernetes, AWS, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and containers.
  • Depth in areas such as build systems, remote execution, progressive delivery, or test optimization.
  • Experience with observability and performance tooling such as Datadog.
  • Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
