Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of relevant work experience
- Strong Python or Java backend development skills
- Fluent SQL for ETL/ELT, data quality, and analysis
- Hands-on experience with Snowflake, Databricks, or similar
- General experience working with data systems or data pipelines
- Working knowledge of git, Linux, and Docker
- Airflow, BI, and AI tool experience
What the job involves
- The Data Platform team builds and operates the systems that centralize all of Coinbase's internal and third-party data, making it easy for teams across the company to access, process, and transform that data for analytics, machine learning, and powering end-user experiences
- As an engineer on the team you'll contribute across the full spectrum of our systems, from foundational processing and storage to scalable pipelines to the frameworks, tools, and internal applications that make data easily and efficiently available
- We have a number of open roles within the Data Platform team, each with a different focus area; read on to see if you'll be a good fit as a Data Engineering Platform Engineer
- This role sits between our platform and the analysts, data scientists, and data engineers who use it every day. You'll build the SDKs, self-service apps, and abstractions that let thousands of pipelines and analyses run without those users needing to understand the plumbing underneath
- Build clean software abstractions and modular, reusable components that let us support thousands of pipelines and beyond as we scale
- Build and maintain data integration and processing SDKs used by data teams and internal services across Coinbase
- Design and build self-service applications that let analysts and data scientists create, manage, and troubleshoot their own pipelines without deep platform knowledge
- Build tooling for data security and observability: access controls across storage and access layers, data quality tracking, dataset cataloging and lineage, usage auditing
- Work cross-functionally: consult upstream teams on structuring their databases to expose good data APIs, and give downstream data scientists well-designed, well-documented data models and metrics
- Convert functional requests from data analysts, ML, and security & compliance into reusable, scalable patterns
Our take
Coinbase has built a reputation as one of the most accessible entry points into the world of cryptocurrency. With features like crypto wallets, direct bank account linking, and merchant payment tools, it's helping bring crypto into the mainstream. But the company isn't just relying on its early success, it's evolving fast to stay relevant in a rapidly changing market.
For example, its doubled down on institutional clients, now serving as the custodian for the majority of approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Its Prime platform also offers a full suite of services for hedge funds, asset managers, and financial institutions. As demand for regulated crypto products rise globally (particularly in Asia), Coinbase is ready to expand.
Its also making moves to engage with younger audiences, by partnering with Riot Games to sponsor global eSports events for League of Legends and Valorant. This partnership highlights Coinbase's strategy to integrate Web 3.0 technologies into mainstream entertainment, aiming to bridge the gap between gaming and cryptocurrency for a new generation of users.
