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.

The Infrastructure org supports the systems, services, and tooling at the foundation of Coinbase’s mission to increase economic freedom. We enable Coinbase engineers to design, develop, and operate services quickly, safely, securely and reliably. Infrastructure teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase.As a Software Engineer on the Observability team, you'll be critical to helping us re-invent the observability stack at Coinbase as we continue to grow and scale 10X-100X.

  • Improve observability, reliability and availability by defining and measuring key metrics
  • Build automation and improve systems to eliminate toil and operations work.
  • Collaborate with our core infrastructure team to performance tune and optimize our cloud deployments. (Think Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes, EC2, etc.)
  • Collaborate with Coinbase product teams to reduce service disruptions and automate incident response
  • Proactively find and analyze reliability problems across our business units and stack, then design and implement software to create step-function improvements.
  • Educate, mentor and hold accountable the engineering team to improve the reliability of our systems and make reliability a core value of the Coinbase engineering culture.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
  • You have at least 2+ years of software engineering experience
  • Experience working with Object Oriented languages like Golang, Java, and or C#
  • Strong skills around observability, debugging and performance tuning
  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical concepts clearly and simply
  • Strong interpersonal skills working with engineers from junior to principal levels
  • Demonstrated critical thinking under pressure
Nice to haves:
  • Experience designing and building reliable systems capable of handling high throughput and low latency
  • Experience with observability and monitoring systems such as Kibana, Datadog, etc.
  • Experience working in a highly regulated environment
  • Exposure to both NoSQL and SQL database technologies such as DynamoDB, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, AWS Aurora.
  • Familiarity with working in rapid growth environments
  • Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
