Software Engineer, Coinbase

• Coinbase is seeking experienced backend engineers to join our team to build out the next generation of crypto-forward products and features

• 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

Desirable

• You will solve unique, large scale, highly complex technical problems, bridging the constraints posed by web-scale applications and blockchain technology
• You will help build the next generation of systems to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone across the globe, operating real-time applications with high frequency, low latency updates, and managing the most secure, dockerized infrastructure running in the cloud
• Decompose our monolithic Rails app into microservices
• Articulate a long term vision for maintaining and scaling our backend systems
• Work with engineers, designers, product managers and senior leadership to turn our product and technical vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter
