San Francisco, California, United States Coinbase Developer Platform Full time

In recent years, the essential technology needed for cryptocurrency to supplant conventional payment systems has finally become available: stablecoins, efficient Layer 2 networks, and the Coinbase Smart Wallet. This presents a multi-billion dollar opportunity for Coinbase to transform the payments sector by utilizing its prominent position in onchain development and extensive knowledge of existing fiat systems.

This position is for the lead engineer of the team dedicated to this new Onchain Payments initiative, which will encompass both the creation of new products and enhancements to the existing Coinbase Commerce offering. Consider this team as a start-up within Coinbase, striving to discover product-market fit for an innovative approach to payments.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop a 0-to-1 product aimed at replacing the global payment infrastructure with cryptocurrency solutions.
  • Oversee the fullstack design and development of a secure, high-performance product utilizing TypeScript, Go, and Solidity.
  • Quickly prototype user experiences to gather market insights and make necessary adjustments, transitioning to production-ready code as required.
  • Integrate with various existing Coinbase platforms, including Smart Wallet, Commerce, and Platform APIs.
  • Design, implement, and promote a novel open-source web3 payment protocol using Solidity.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other cross-functional teams to identify product-market fit.
  • Utilize, maintain, and enhance an existing legacy codebase of Coinbase Commerce.
  • Champion engineering best practices, ensuring operational excellence and proper maintenance of legacy systems.
  • Optimize both frontend and backend performance, ensuring rapid transaction processing, seamless UI interactions, and efficient resource management.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex fullstack issues, ensuring platform stability, reliability, and security.
  • Provide technical leadership and support to the entire engineering team, contributing to the overall technical vision of Coinbase.

Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of experience in software development with a strong emphasis on fullstack development; 2+ years in a leadership role within a crypto start-up is advantageous.
  • Expertise in Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Solidity; familiarity with Ruby is a plus.
  • Proven history of rapidly delivering high-quality fullstack systems.
  • In-depth knowledge of Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains, along with experience in developing smart contracts.
  • Demonstrated commitment to exceptional developer experiences and open-source contributions, particularly in the realms of cryptocurrency and payments.
  • Strong proficiency in frontend development using modern frameworks such as React and Angular.
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and event-driven architectures, including experience with databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), caching systems (Redis, Memcached), and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
  • Experience with developer operations, including cloud services like AWS and containerization technologies such as Kubernetes.
  • Thorough understanding of web security best practices and experience implementing secure coding practices for financial applications.
  • Exceptional problem-solving abilities and a knack for devising elegant solutions to complex challenges in the cryptocurrency payment processing sector.
  • Outstanding communication, leadership, and collaboration skills, with the capacity to inspire and mentor teams.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.
