Job summary

Coinbase is hiring Software Engineers for Developer Infrastructure to build scalable CI and build systems, deployment tooling, and test infrastructure used by thousands of engineers.

You’ll own components end to end, contribute to production-ready design, and collaborate across Coinbase engineering teams to improve reliability, security, and performance while growing your impact in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.

Qualifications

Responsibilities

• Build, ship, and help operate features and components of 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.
• Contribute to improvements in the metrics every engineer feels: build and CI wall time, deploy speed and safety, and test feedback time and flakiness.
• Own well‑scoped components end to end — from implementation through testing, rollout, and monitoring — and participate in your team's on‑call rotation.
• Write high-quality, well‑tested, observable code, and build for production from day one.
• Collaborate with engineering teams across Coinbase (your customers) to understand pain points and translate them into concrete platform improvements.
• Contribute to technical design discussions for team projects, and independently drive your own work items to completion.
