Software Engineer, Backend - Blockchain Platform (Blockchain Enablement)

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.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

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.

As part of the Blockchain Enablement team you will be working closely with the Crypto stack at Coinbase to integrate blockchain networks with internal services for day-1, non day-1 assets and USDC, expanding crypto primitives. We are a fast moving, highly engaged team with deep crypto knowledge with a culture that focuses on learning, sharing and delivering.

We are focussed building and maintaining integrations with existing and emerging blockchains, launching assets on these blockchains. We directly support Retail, Exchange, Institution, Base and Coinbase wallet by developing and owning the blockchain protocol level (i.e. EIP) functionality and indexer that is shared across many platforms. If you want to be part of the organization which is investigating, designing and launching assets, come apply!

Requirements

• You write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers.
• You have a strong attention to detail

Nice to haves
