Senior Software Engineer, Backend (Core Automation)

Join Coinbase's Core Automation Team

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. To achieve our mission, we're seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company's hardest problems. Our work culture is intense and isn't for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there's no better place to be. 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.

The mission of the Platform Product Group engineers is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase. There are many teams that make up this group which include Product Foundations (i.e. Identity, Payment, Risk, Proofing & Regulatory, Finhub), AI Platform, Core Automation, and Infrastructure. The Core Automation Team is a highly driven and innovative group dedicated to developing AI infrastructure and automation solutions that enhance productivity, foster innovation, and create meaningful customer impact across Coinbase. Our mission is to streamline operations for customer support and compliance teams while delivering exceptional customer experiences. As a Software Engineer on our team, you will play a key role in this transformation, utilizing state-of-the-art AI models, frameworks, and tools, along with diverse and extensive data sources, including blockchain data.
