Job Description
Senior Software Engineer defining the multi-quarter technical strategy for Blockchain Platform at Coinbase. Involves architecting, evolving infrastructure, and leading cross-team initiatives for crypto systems.
Responsibilities:
- Define and drive the multi-quarter technical strategy for Blockchain Platform, spanning nodes, wallets, indexing, and asset lifecycle, to support new chains, new products, and significant growth in onchain transaction volume.
- Architect and evolve the core Blockchain Platform infrastructure - nodes, indexers, wallet systems, and liquidity primitives - for high availability, low latency, cost efficiency, and security at global scale.
- Lead end-to-end design and rollout of large, cross-team architectural initiatives (e.g., wallet stack rearchitecture, indexing stack redesign, asset identifier system), breaking high ambiguity into clear milestones and measurable outcomes.
- Set and enforce technical standards for correctness, security, and reliability across all crypto asset operations, including transaction finality, key management, reconciliation, and failure-mode handling for all onchain flows.
- Drive engineering efficiency across the org - defining standards for testing, quality, automation, and observability, and championing AI-native approaches that reduce operational burden and enable agents to serve as front-line operators.
- Use data and observability signals (e.g., transaction success rates, node reliability, indexing latency, on-call burden) to identify structural platform gaps and lead systematic reliability and efficiency improvements.
- Represent Blockchain Platform in executive and cross-org forums, clearly communicating tradeoffs, aligning stakeholders on strategy, and securing buy-in for high-impact technical bets including emerging areas like Yield and Stablecoins.
Requirements:
- Experience with high-throughput transaction systems requiring strong auditability, idempotency, and financial precision.
- Familiarity with staking infrastructure, bridging protocols, or tokenization systems.
- Experience applying AI or agent-based automation to reduce operational toil in platform or infrastructure contexts.
- Background at a high-scale technology company with a track record of platform-level impact across multiple teams.
Benefits:
- Equity and bonus eligibility
- Medical insurance
- Dental insurance
- Vision insurance
- 401(k) plan
