Job description

At Coinme, we’re redefining access to financial services in a digital world. By combining the cutting‑edge power of blockchain technology with everyday simplicity, we make digital currencies accessible and usable for all.

As the world's largest network of cryptocurrency kiosks with over 40,000 locations nationwide, we're breaking down barriers to crypto adoption through our seamless mobile app, secure digital wallet, and DeFi integrations. Beyond our consumer offerings, we're also the infrastructure powering the crypto revolution for businesses.

Through our enterprise Crypto‑as‑a‑Service (CaaS) platform, we enable businesses to launch crypto capabilities in weeks, not months. Our modular, API‑first infrastructure provides everything from KYC and payment processing to liquidity and custody solutions—all fully licensed and compliant.

We’re big enough to lead the charge in decentralized finance but small enough that your ideas will make waves. Every role at Coinme contributes to building a financial future where everyone has the tools to thrive. At Coinme, your growth fuels our mission. Together, we RISE.

Claude Code Platform Lead

Own the strategy, systems, and training that turn AI‑assisted development from an experiment into Coinme's engineering superpower. You will be the central force multiplier for our 35+ engineer organization—building the skills, workflows, and shared infrastructure that enable every team to ship faster and better with Claude Code. This is not a support role. You will directly shape how Coinme engineers build software every day.

What You'll Be Working On (Your Impact):

• Design, build, and maintain a centralized repository of CLAUDE.md project context files across all Coinme repositories, ensuring Claude Code understands our architecture, coding standards, compliance requirements, and domain patterns out of the box
• Create custom Claude Code slash commands, hooks, and workflows tailored to Coinme's stack—including compliance‑aware code generation, automated test scaffolding, and review automation for our CQRS/Event Sourcing architecture
• Implement and manage the GitLab CI/CD integration for Claude Code, enabling automated merge request creation from issues, AI‑assisted code review in pipelines, and commit attribution across all engineering teams
• Build and deliver structured training programs to close adoption gaps across the engineering org, with a focus on the highest‑leverage skills: headless/CI‑CD workflows, hooks and commands, and test‑driven development with Claude Code
• Monitor engineering adoption metrics via the Claude Enterprise Analytics API, identify engineers and teams that are underutilizing the tool, and design targeted interventions to accelerate their productivity
• Develop and maintain a living playbook of best practices, prompt patterns, and workflow recipes that codify what Coinme's top Claude Code users (power users generating 5,000+ tool accepts) do differently
• Partner with Engineering Leadership to define proficiency benchmarks, run competency assessments, and measure ROI of AI tooling investment across the organization
• Evaluate and integrate emerging Claude Code capabilities—including MCP server integrations, multi‑file editing workflows, and agentic coding patterns as they become available
• Work within and build tooling for our technology stack:
  • GitLab (repos, CI/CD pipelines, merge requests)
  • Jira / Atlassian (project management, sprint tracking)
  • Claude Code CLI and VS Code extension
  • Claude Enterprise Analytics API
  • Java 17+ / Spring Boot / Reactive Java (understanding, not necessarily writing daily)
  • Kubernetes, Helm, Argo platform
  • Multi‑repo microservice architecture

What We're Looking For:

• 4+ years of experience as a software engineer with hands‑on production coding experience
• Deep, daily‑driver proficiency with Claude Code and comparable AI coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot) — you should be a power user, not someone who's "tried it a few times"
• Experience implementing and integrating with agentic harnesses, e.g. Open Claw, Hermes, Eigent, etc.
• Experience building developer tools, internal platforms, CLI utilities, or developer experience infrastructure
• Demonstrated ability to teach technical concepts to engineers at varying skill levels — through documentation, workshops, pairing sessions, or recorded content
• Experience with CI/CD pipeline design and automation (GitLab CI preferred)
• Strong understanding of Git workflows, code review processes, and merge request automation
• Experience working with REST APIs for data integration and dashboard building
• Comfort navigating and understanding large, multi‑repo codebases without necessarily being an expert in every language or framework
• Excellent written communication — you'll be writing CLAUDE.md files, training docs, and playbooks that need to be clear enough for both humans and AI to understand
• Self‑directed and proactive — this is a one‑person function where you set the agenda based on data and engineer feedback

Not Required, But Nice to Have:

• Claude Certified Architect (CCA), Foundations credential from Anthropic
• Familiarity with Java / Spring Boot / CQRS / Event Sourcing patterns (Coinme's primary backend stack)
• Experience building analytics dashboards or working with usage telemetry data
• Background in DevRel, developer advocacy, or engineering enablement
• Experience in fintech, crypto, or regulated industries where compliance‑aware code generation adds particular value
• Experience running hackathons, training programs, or engineering culture initiatives
