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 Staking Validators team is responsible for operating all staking-related nodes at Coinbase.

    • We operate the largest validators fleet in the world: The team’s mandate is to onboard, operate, and optimize proof-of-stake network infrastructure at Coinbase.
    • We build infrastructure to provide the most secure and highest uptime: Observability and monitoring is a cornerstone of the team’s philosophy in order to ensure top-tier uptime and performance.
    • We constantly innovate to bring the best yield for our customers: We are always on the lookout for creative ways to optimize our operations as we continue to scale.
    • We empower best in class staking experience for internal coinbase teams & external customers.

Unique opportunities on this team:

    • Amazing impact - operate as part of a small pod driving our Ethereum Validators: We split our responsibility by protocol with none being larger than Ethereum! You’re working with a small pod of leaders to drive impact for our largest Validator fleet, with Billions (USD) in ETH staked assets on our validators across the world. You’re responsible for deploying upgrades and building new features to ensure our fleet operates efficiently, driving industry-leading APY and beyond. You’ll also engage with the Ethereum community and partners looking for new ways to innovate positioning us as leaders across the industry.
    • Crypto forward: We’re at the forefront of crypto innovation at Coinbase, engaging deeply with the community and operating at the bleeding edge of crypto innovation.
    • High impact: As one of the largest validator operators in the world, you’ll have a wide impact on Coinbase as well as the wider crypto industry.

Technically challenging: Unique engineering challenges of operating highly performant blockchain nodes at scale.
