To achieve our mission, Coinbase is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for the Consumer Product Group to work on the Coinbase retail app and wallet-related features. The role balances deep individual contribution with technical leadership: anchoring new projects, setting technical direction, mentoring other engineers, and contributing to foundational infrastructure.

• Mentor and train other engineers on design techniques and coding standards.
• Design and implement foundational infrastructure components used by engineering teams in production (examples given: dynamic configuration, secrets storage, container orchestration).
• Collaborate across the organization on complex projects and help engineers think big and take informed risks.
• Participate in in-person team and company offsites and occasional required in-person collaboration throughout the year.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering.
• Demonstrated experience architecting and developing solutions to ambiguous problems that have significant impact.

• Familiarity with onchain activity (interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, engaging with dApps).
• Experience scaling companies quickly (e.g., growth from ~10 to 100s of engineers).
