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.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Crypto Data Foundation - Core team! 

Our team has built the fundamental Web3 infrastructure, the data layer, by delivering an open-source, industry-leading suite of data availability solutions, ChainStack, to ensure efficient and scalable access. ChainStack is designed to ingest, index, and parse vast amounts of crypto data with minimal latency, providing a comprehensive solution to a widespread industry challenge. Come join us! 

What you’ll be doing:

  • Architect and develop distributed systems
  • Provide technical structure to teams and work closely with management and stakeholders to define strategic roadmaps
  • Manage individual projects priorities, deadlines and deliverables with your 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 (e.g. dynamic configuration, secrets storage, container orchestration, etc)
  • Write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers

What we look for in you:

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering
  • Very strong in distributed systems or data systems. If you are experienced with Crypto, it’s a big plus!
  • You’ve experienced architecting and developing solutions to ambiguous problems with significant impact
  • You’re passionate about building an indexing platform that brings the Web3 and Web2 world together

 Nice to haves:

  • You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from 10 to 100s of engineers)
  • You have experience with Blockchains (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc.)
  • You have experience decomposing a large monolith into microservices
  • You’ve worked with Golang, Kafka, Redis, S3, Clickhouse, MongoDB
  • You’ve built financial, high reliability or security systems
  • Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
