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 [https://www.coinbase.com/mission] 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.
Coinbase is seeking a Senior Staff Engineer to join our team and build out the
next generation of crypto-forward products and features. You will solve unique,
large scale, highly complex technical problems, bridging the constraints posed
by web-scale applications and blockchain technology. You will help build the
next generation of systems to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone across
the globe, operating real-time applications with high frequency, low latency
updates, and managing the most secure infrastructure running in the cloud.
The Growth organization drives Coinbase’s mission of bringing the world onchain.
By building and leveraging growth tools across multiple avenues, including
referral and incentives programs, creating a world-class notifications system,
building a dynamic, engaging, and accessible logged-out web experience, and
optimizing our new user onboarding flow, we ensure that Coinbase is the easiest,
safest, and fastest way to buy, hold, and trade Crypto assets, and ensure our
new users are set up for success from their first interaction.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Partner with the Head of Growth Engineering (Sr. Director of Eng), EMs, and
Product Managers to improve incentives infrastructure, primitives and scale
up our spend/profitability with high reliability and confidence.
- Build foundational systems and primitives to drive growth at Coinbase.
What we look for in you:
- Ability to drive multi-quarter roadmaps with complex dependencies within and
outside the Growth team.
- Strong track record of "horizontal" technical leadership across a larger team
or multiple small teams.
- Ability to drive quality and performance across complex systems at scale and
understand what metrics and SLOs reflect product quality and how to move
them.
Nice to haves:
- Strong cross-functional partnership skills, as this role spans both
incentives experience and infrastructure pods, with potential to support all
of Growth.
- Experience in consumer or growth-focused engineering is a plus.
- Experience working with ML directly or via APIs is a nice-to-have (understand
different online and offline model evaluation techniques, and opportunities
for ML to impact and improve core user experience).
