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 team manages everything related to a user's identity at Coinbase. This includes login, signup, OAuth, account security, and multi-factor authentication. The Horizontal Frontend team within the Identity org is responsible for building and maintaining the frontend surfaces that power these critical user interactions. The team works closely with backend pods to deliver seamless, scalable, and reliable user experiences.

The team is also focused on migrating main frontend views to React Native, enabling a unified codebase across platforms. Additionally, the team is working on initiatives like multi-user and multi-organization support, ensuring Coinbase products can scale to meet the needs of businesses and organizations. The challenging part is building world-class frontend experiences while maintaining low latencies and high reliability, all while collaborating with multiple cross-functional teams (XFN) at scale.

What You'll Be Doing:

Build and enhance frontend experiences for login, signup, OAuth, account security, and multi-user/multi-organization support.

Contribute to the migration of main frontend views to React Native, ensuring a unified and efficient codebase across platforms.

Design and implement scalable, maintainable, and high-performance user interfaces using modern frontend technologies like React and TypeScript.

Collaborate with backend engineers, designers, product managers, and senior leadership to turn product and technical visions into tangible roadmaps.

Maintain low-latency, highly reliable frontend surfaces to deliver a world-class user experience.

Write high-quality, well-tested code to meet the needs of Coinbase’s growing user base.

What We Look For in You:

You have at least 5+ years of experience in frontend software engineering.

You’ve designed, built, scaled, and maintained production-grade frontend systems.

You have expertise in modern frontend frameworks like React and TypeScript.

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:

Experience with React Native or migrating web views to mobile platforms.

You have gone through a rapid growth phase in your company (from startup to mid-size).

Familiarity with authentication, identity, or security domains.

Experience optimizing frontend performance for low-latency, high-reliability systems.

Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with on-chain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
