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, Coinbase is seeking a candidate who is passionate about crypto and blockchain technology, eager to leave their mark, comfortable with high-caliber colleagues, and receptive to feedback. The role is remote-first but not remote-only; in-person participation is required throughout the year for team and company-wide offsites.

• Manage individual project priorities, deadlines and deliverables using technical expertise.
• Mentor and train other team members on design techniques and coding standards.
• Design and implement foundational infrastructure components used by every engineering team in production (examples: dynamic configuration, secrets storage, container orchestration).
• Write high-quality, well-tested code to meet the needs of internal customers.
• Learn, build, improve, and maintain cloud provisioning services written in Golang and Terraform.
• Design scalable, fault-tolerant solutions using modern cloud technology and industry best practices.
• Work with engineers and leadership to turn product and technical vision into quarterly roadmaps.
• Provide customer support to internal engineers on cloud provisioning.

Requirements

• At least 2+ years of experience in software engineering.
• Experience designing, building, scaling, and maintaining backend services and infrastructure.
• Strong problem solving skills and ability to identify root causes and drive issues to resolution.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Proven ability to write high-quality, well-tested code.

Nice to haves

• Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, or engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
• Experience with projects or tooling related to Web3 data infrastructure (the team has built an open-source data availability suite, ChainStack).

• Pay Range: $154,000 — $154,000 CAD (full-time offers also include target bonus, target equity, and benefits including medical, dental, and vision).
• Job #: P70272
