Job description

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.

This is a unique opportunity to reimagine and implement how Coinbase interfaces with high throughput blockchains, serving 100m+ of daily users. The Wallets team enables Coinbase users globally to interface with 60+ blockchains, managing billions of addresses and moving millions of dollars every day. Our team is continuing to develop new ways to scale for the next billion users.

The Wallets team owns the set of services that power all of the sends and receives for Coinbase's custodial products. These distributed backend systems help construct, sign, broadcast, and ingest on chain transactions.

Come work with a team of brilliant and passionate engineers on building the next generation of Wallet products!

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties)

• Design, develop, and maintain the future of our wallet systems
• Collaborate with teams across the company on integrations with our services
• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to maintain high code quality standards
• Troubleshoot and debug complicated problems

What we look for in you

• You have at least 2+ years of experience in software engineering.
• You’ve designed, built, scaled and maintained production services, and know how to compose a service oriented architecture.
• You write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers.
• You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together.

Nice to haves

• You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from startup to mid-size).
• You have experience with Blockchains (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc.).
• You have experience decomposing a large monolith into microservices.
• You’ve worked with Golang, Ruby, Docker, Sinatra, Rails, Postgres, MongoDB or Redshift.
• You’ve built financial, high reliability or security systems.
• You have Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.

Pay Range: $154,000 — $154,000 CAD
