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 Consumer Product Group engineers strive to make the Coinbase retail app the easiest-to-use and fastest experience for accessing the crypto. As a Staff Software Engineer engineer on our International team, you'll directly shape the future of crypto adoption in Latin America, including Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. You will tackle unique, large-scale technical challenges, collaborating with product managers and the Regional Managing Director AMER to customize the app for the local market. This is your chance to build the next generation of crypto-forward products on a secure, high-frequency, low-latency infrastructure, bringing financial innovation to millions.

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:

8+ years of experience in software engineering

You’ve experienced architecting and developing solutions to ambiguous problems with significant impact

You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the 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 Blockchain technology (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc..)

You have experience decomposing a large monolith into microservices

You’ve worked with Golang, Ruby, Docker, Sinatra, Rails, Postgres

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.
