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.
Developer Experience (DevX) is responsible for making sure all engineers at Coinbase build high-quality products while being productive and engaged. We do this by providing infrastructure, libraries, frameworks, and tooling to make it easier and faster to build high quality applications.Within Developer Experience, we organize into “pods” that focus on different specializations. The “CI” pod builds and operates state-of-the-art version control and continuous integration infrastructure for our engineers. We manage one of the largest k8s clusters at Coinbase and have built a custom controller to manage our workload efficiently. We are making a bold strategic move to migrate our source code into the cloud.
What you’ll be doing (i.e. job duties):
- Build, improve, and operate backend developer productivity infrastructure services and systems.
- Design scalable, fault-tolerant solutions to novel problems with modern cloud technology and industry best practices.
- Work with engineers and leadership to turn our product and technical vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter.
- Provide stellar customer support to our internal engineers.
What we look for in you:
- You have at least 5+ years of experience in software engineering.
- You’ve designed, built, scaled, and operated large scale, high throughput infrastructure.
- You write high-quality, well-tested code to meet the needs of your customers.
- Strong problem solving skills and ability to identify problems, determine their root cause, and see them through to solution.
Nice to Haves:
- Golang, Ruby, AWS
- Prior experience with building on and operating GitHub/GitHub Actions
