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.
We’re looking to hire a Senior Staff Software Engineer to join one of our teams
within the Platform Product Group. The Platform Product Group’s mission is to
build a trusted, scalable, and compliant platform to maximize velocity,
efficiency and quality. They build the foundations that can be used by multiple
products and teams at Coinbase so that users can have a consistent and
high-quality experience.
