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.

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), Machine Learning, Customer Experience, and Infrastructure.

The Customer Experience CB-GPT Team is an ambitious team working on a groundbreaking new platform that will put the power of Language Models in the hands of users. Our vision is to democratize access to state-of-the-art AI by allowing anyone to leverage pre-trained models or customize models for their specific needs. As a staff software engineer on our team, you'll be at the forefront of this revolution. You'll get to work with some of the most advanced deep learning models in existence today and play a key role in shaping how people and businesses interact with and benefit from AI going forward.

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

1. Hands-on architecture & develop platform for all LLM use-cases in Coinbase along with leading a team of ICs.
2. Provide technical structure to teams and work closely with management and stakeholders to define strategic roadmaps.
3. Manage individual projects priorities, deadlines and deliverables with your technical expertise.
4. Design scalable systems to solve novel problems with modern cloud technology and industry best practices.
5. Work with engineers, designers, product managers and senior leadership to turn our product and technical vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter.
6. Debugging extremely difficult technical problems, and making systems and products both work better and are easier to deploy, own, operate and diagnose.
7. Review all feature designs within your product area and across the company for cross-cutting projects.
8. Be an owner of the security, safety, scale, operational integrity, and architectural clarity of these designs.
9. Build pipelines to integrate with 3rd party vendors.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

1. 10+ years of experience in software engineering.
2. At least 2+ years of engineering management experience.
3. You have designed, built, and scaled production applications and are very hands-on in leading a team of highly competent engineers.
4. Experience in upleveling junior engineers via processes and setting a high bar for them to follow.
5. You know what high quality code — and software engineering processes — look like and know how to foster an environment that creates them.
6. Deep customer empathy for our primary customer stakeholders.
7. You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together.
8. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and a bias toward open, transparent cultural practices.

Nice to haves:

1. You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from startup to mid-size).
2. You’ve worked with Golang, Docker, Postgres, MongoDB or DynamoDB.
3. Background in working in AI /LLM models is a plus.
