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.

The Institutional product group enables the foundations of Coinbase's institutional business supporting thousands of large financial institutions. We enable institutions to custody their digital assets and participate in the crypto economy in a secure and safe way. We take pride in building a scalable & secure crypto platform supporting hundreds of assets and enabling crypto participation with staking, governance and web3 gateways. The team has interesting work on building cutting-edge crypto technologies, scalable infrastructure and UI surfaces across web, mobile and browser extensions in a fast-paced industry with an opportunity to build several new initiatives

The Institutional Financing Engineering team is responsible for building and maintaining the systems required to safely manage billions of dollars of loans across a number of different products, including Portfolio Margin, Trade Finance, Agency Lending, Bilateral Lending and more. Financing is incredibly important to the Prime Brokerage business because it allows customers to use leverage on their trading positions, as well as generate yield on long holdings. Financing products are important because they generate recurring revenue (as opposed to transaction revenue), but it also increases trading activity and encourages assets to be held on platform.

What you'll be doing:

  • Design and implement new financing products and features
  • Create and build new reporting, monitoring, tools, frameworks and APIs
  • Collaborate with engineers, product managers and senior leadership to turn our vision into a tangible deliverables every quarter
  • Improving developer efficiency, engineering excellence, and operational excellence
  • Provide support to operations and other engineering teams
  • Mentor team members and help uplift the technical skill set across the team

What we look for in you:

  • You have at least 2+ years of experience in software engineering.
  • You’ve designed, built, scaled and maintained production services, and know how to compose a service oriented architecture.
  • You write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers.
  • You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together.

Nice to haves:

  • You’ve worked with some or all of: Golang, Postgres, Kafka, Protobuf, and React.
  • You’ve built financial, high reliability or security systems.
