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 CDP Foundations team owns the core data model and primitives that power the Coinbase Developer Platform. We build the foundational layer that defines how organizations structure themselves, how users and customers are represented and verified, how funds are contained and owned, and how access is controlled.

What you'll be doing:

Build and iterate on secure, logged-in web experiences for developers to manage crypto infrastructure — including API keys, usage analytics, billing, permissions, and integrations.

Own end-to-end feature delivery in React/TypeScript — from collaborating on product requirements through to implementation, testing, and production launch.

Develop high-quality UI components and interaction patterns that are accessible, responsive, and align with our design system.

Integrate deeply with backend APIs and ensure strong correctness around auth, loading states, and edge cases.

Partner closely with product, design, and backend engineers to create intuitive developer workflows — reducing friction and making powerful concepts feel simple.

Contribute to frontend architecture foundations (state management, performance tuning, API layer, observability, error handling, etc.) as the platform evolves.

Uphold best practices around type safety, testing, security, and scalability — and bring a mindset of continuous improvement to our FE codebase and tooling.

Be part of a fast-moving team shipping real user-facing impact weekly — with autonomy, ownership, and strong collaboration expected from day one.

What we look for in you:

You have at least 3+ years of experience in developing web apps and shipping user-facing features with React, JavaScript, and Typescript.

You've developed and shipped user-facing features using component-based UI frameworks.

You’re familiar with product and design lifecycles, and collaborating closely with designers, engineers, and product managers.

You write high-quality, well-tested, extensible code.

You take pride in being up-to-date with the latest industry standards and best practices in frontend architecture.

You are proactive, have a growth-mindset, and empower and cultivate your teammates.

You bring a builder mindset: ship value fast, learn from real customers, and don’t be afraid to refactor or improve the path as we grow.

You contribute to a culture of strong craftsmanship — where type safety, security, resilience, and clarity matter — but never at the expense of momentum.
