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 Data Platform team builds and operates systems to centralize all of Coinbase's internal and third-party data, making it easy for teams across the company to access, process, and transform that data for analytics, machine learning, and powering end-user experiences. As an engineer on the team you will contribute to the full spectrum of our systems, from managing foundational processing and data storage, to building and maintaining scalable pipelines, to developing frameworks, tools, and internal applications to make that data easily and efficiently available to other teams and systems.   What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties): Design, build, and operate our foundational data-heavy services: storage (cloud data warehouse, data lake), orchestration (Airflow), batch processing (Spark, SQL), streaming services (Kafka), query federation and caching, time-series db, graph db, and real-time event aggregation stores. Build and maintain data integration & process SDKs for use by internal services and product teams throughout Coinbase. Design and build self-service applications to empower our users to manage and troubleshoot their own data pipelines running on our platforms. Design and build services for end-to-end data security and data observability: managing access controls across multiple storage and access layers, tracking data quality, cataloging datasets and their lineage, usage auditing. Convert functional requests from data analysts, ML, and security & compliance into reusable and scalable patterns; and assemble data microservices into data platforms for critical business verticals and user cohorts. What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): You have at least 5+ years of experience in software engineering. You have Strong Python, Go, or Java backend development skills. You have general experience working with data systems or data pipelines. You are familiar with design patterns such as scale-out, caching, key/value, and columnar. You leverage SQL, Python, Airflow, and BI expertise to analyze data for operational insights.
