Solutions Architect, Coinbase

• Technical degree and ideally experience as a software engineer (2+ years)
• Proficiency in a scripting and/or compiled language with the ability to code POCs and reference implementations
• Firm grasp of system design (beyond three-tier web apps)
• Familiar with modern and legacy integration approaches
• Experience in a customer facing sales role
• Highly personable and excellent communicator who can create concise recommendations after listening and assessing potential customer needs
• Comfortable picking up the baton from sales and working with customers to assess needs, support opportunities and oversee technical integrations
• Strong knowledge of REST and WebSocket APIs
• You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there
• You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0
• You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow
• You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job
• You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission
• You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone
