Software Engineer, Coinbase

• First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves
• Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work
• Most importantly, we seek people who are excited about crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture
• 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
• You have at least 2+ years of experience in developing web apps and shipping user-facing features with JavaScript and modern, component-based JS frameworks like React
• You've developed and shipped user-facing features using component-based UI frameworks
• You’re familiar with current trends and best practices in front-end architecture, including performance, security and usability
• You’re familiar with product and design lifecycles, and collaborating closely with designers, engineers, and product managers
• You write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers
