Job Description

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 mission of the Platform Product Group engineers is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase. There are many teams that make up this group which include Product Foundations (i.e. Identity, Payment, Risk, Proofing & Regulatory, Finhub), Machine Learning, Customer Experience, and Infrastructure.

The AI Platform Team is a dynamic and ambitious group focused on building centralized AI infrastructure and acceleration solutions that drive productivity, innovation, and customer impact across Coinbase. Our mission is to accelerate AI adoption, enhance team efficiency, and deliver exceptional customer experiences by embedding growth pods directly within teams across the organization. As a Software Engineer on our team, you’ll be driving this transformative shift within the company. You’ll work with state-of-the-art AI models, frameworks, and tools, playing a pivotal role in shaping how people and businesses engage with and benefit from AI in the future.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

    • Hands-on architecture & develop platform for all LLM use-cases in Coinbase along with leading a team of ICs
    • 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.
    • Form a deep understanding of our Machine Learning Engineers’ needs and our current capabilities and gaps.
    • Mentor our talented junior engineers on how to build high quality software, and take their skills to the next level.
    • Continually raise our engineering standards to maintain high-availability and low-latency for our ML inference infrastructure that runs both predictive ML models and LLMs.
    • Optimize low latency streaming pipelines to give our ML models the freshest and highest quality data.
    • Evangelize state-of-the-art practices on building high-performance distributed training jobs that process large volumes of data.
    • Build tooling to observe the quality of data going into our models and to detect degradations impacting model performance.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

    • 10+ years of experience in software engineering
    • At least 2+ years of engineering management experience.
    • You have designed, built, and scaled production applications and very hands-on in leading a team of highly competent engineers
    • Experience in upleveling junior engineers via processes and setting a high bar for them to follow
    • You know what high quality code — and software engineering processes — look like and know how to foster an environment that creates them
    • Deep customer empathy for our primary customer stakeholders.
    • You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and a
