Requirements
• Direct experience in a developer infrastructure or platform domain: CI/CD, build systems, deployment/release tooling, test infrastructure, or developer productivity engineering. • Experience operating at scale with Kubernetes, AWS, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and containers (Docker/OCI). • Domain specific depth such as Bazel/Buck-style build systems and remote execution, progressive delivery (e.g.canary/rollback), or test selection, sharding, and flaky-test detection. • Experience with observability and performance tooling (e.g., Datadog) to measure and improve system behavior. • Curiosity about crypto/web3 and a desire to learn the domain (deep prior knowledge not required); experience in a regulated or security-sensitive environment is a plus. • Pay Transparency Notice: Base salary varies by location (see range below). Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility, and benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k)). • Pay Transparency Notice: • Annual base salary range (excluding equity and bonus): • $186,065—$218,900 USD • Please be advised that each candidate may submit a maximum of four applications within any 30-day period. We encourage you to carefully evaluate how your skills and interests align with Coinbase's roles before applying. • Commitment to Equal Opportunity
Responsibilities
• Design, build, and operate core developer-infrastructure services — spanning CI and build systems, deployment orchestration, and test infrastructure — that are fast, reliable, and secure by default at Coinbase scale. • Drive measurable improvements to the metrics every engineer feels: build and CI wall time, deploy speed and safety, and test feedback time and flakiness. • Own your services end to end, including SLOs, observability, and on-call. • Partner closely with engineering teams across Coinbase (your customers) to understand pain points and turn them into platform improvements. • Lead technical design for ambitious, cross-cutting projects and see them through to production. • Act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers and shaping the technical direction of the platform. • What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): • 5+ years building and operating production software, with strong fundamentals in distributed systems and a primary language like Go (or similar). • A track record of shipping high-impact backend or platform systems that other engineers or services depend on, with strong ownership from design through production. • Strong operational instincts — you care about reliability, security, and observability, and you build for production from day one. • Clear communication and the ability to drive projects independently and collaborate across teams. • A customer-focused mindset: you measure success by the impact your systems have on other engineers.
