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.

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.

CB Node is Coinbase's connection to the blockchain!  In this role, you will be crypto-facing, while also maintaining a foot in traditional web2 systems.  We manage the blockchain nodes that connect our company to the 55 different blockchains that we support, across CB Wallet, Retail, Insto and Prime.  We are also responsible for building new nodes as part of new asset launches for Day1 assets.  In the team, you will be part of the following initiatives:
  • Blockchain Traffic Management, includi stateful failover between multiple external providers
  • Managing data consistency and block freshness to power critical internal services, such as our wallets and indexers
  • Ensuring reliability and scalability across the blockchain platform stack
  • Pioneering new technologies such as decoupling blockchain node storage and compute
  • Building a platform on top of our existing nodes to reduce engineering effort and ops TOIL
You will be joining a team of some of the most driven and talented engineers at the company.  We are looking for similar - talented engineers who arent afraid of trying new things, failing and iterating quickly.  We are looking for engineers who are excited about crypto, and treat every problem as a chance to make impact.  And lastly, we are looking for engineers who love to identify inefficiencies in how we do businesses and enjoy being empowered to aggressively streamline these problem areas.
 
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
  • This person would be responsible for upgrading blockchain nodes, implementing automation to reduce TOIL and increase service effectiveness, and identifying new areas of investment (automation) to further streamline our service and reduce manual effort
What we look for in you:
  • You have at least 5 years of experience in software engineering.
  • You’ve designed, built, scaled and maintained production services, and know how to compose a service oriented architecture.
  • You write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers.
  • You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together.
Nice to haves:
  • Service Ownership
  • Automation/Process Improvement
  • Blockchain
  • Integration Testing
