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 Institutional Product Group engineers create and maintain a suite of products catering to institutional customers of all sizes from Hedge Funds (Coinbase Prime) to experienced individual traders (Coinbase Advanced Trade) and everything in between. Additional Products include Prime - Custody Only, Prime Web3 Wallet, Commerce and Exchange. Whether the customer needs are trading, staking, governance, custody, web3 operations, or API integrations, Coinbase Institutional has them covered.

The Institutional Prime Trading team has built the end-to-end platform that powers listed Futures trading (FCM) which launched in Q3 2023. Since then we have gained significant market adoption, and are now looking for a motivated senior engineer who can help us lead additional strategic derivatives build outs on the roadmap, including but not limited to:

  • Expand functionalities for Futures trading on Retail Advanced (RAT)
  • Launch Futures trading for Institutional clients (Prime, Direct Access)
  • Prime integration for International Exchange (Perps, Spot)
  • Additional derivatives products launch (Options, Event Contracts, etc.)

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

  • Design and implement support for new products
  • Create and build new services, reporting, monitoring, tools, frameworks and APIs
  • Collaborate with engineers, product managers and senior leadership to turn our vision into a tangible deliverables every quarter
  • Mentor team members and help uplift the technical skill set across the team

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:

  • High Performance Low Latency Engineering
  • Experience working with trading systems
  • Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
