Senior Software Engineer, Backend - DevX CI

Overview

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.

We are seeking a candidate who is passionate about our mission and the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone eager to make a meaningful impact, who thrives under pressure and with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to level up. We want someone who will tackle the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and not for everyone. If you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, this is the right place.

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.

Developer Experience (DevX) is responsible for making sure all engineers at Coinbase build high-quality products while being productive and engaged. We provide infrastructure, libraries, frameworks, and tooling to simplify building high-quality applications. Within DevX, we organize into pods that focus on different specializations. The “CI” pod builds and operates modern version control and continuous integration infrastructure for our engineers. We manage one of the largest Kubernetes clusters at Coinbase and have built a custom controller to manage workload efficiently. We are making a bold strategic move to migrate our source code into the cloud.

What you’ll be doing (i.e. job duties) :

• Build, improve, and operate backend developer productivity infrastructure services and systems.
• Design scalable, fault-tolerant solutions to novel problems with modern cloud technology and industry best practices.
• Work with engineers and leadership to turn our product and technical vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter.
• Provide stellar customer support to our internal engineers.
