Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise App

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.

Team/ Role Paragraph:

Team - As part of Coinbase’s Enterprise Applications and Architecture organization, the CXCMSS (Customer Experience Channel Management and Shared Services) team is on the front lines of revolutionizing how we deliver exceptional support to millions of users globally. We are responsible for managing the delivery of work to agents across chat, phone, email, and social channels, empowering customer service agents across compliance and retail business units to operate at peak efficiency.

We design, build, and own platforms that prioritize the customer-first approach while driving agent productivity and maximizing automation. Our team thrives on innovation, creating scalable solutions that not only meet today’s needs but also anticipate the future of customer engagement.

Role - In this role, you'll be at the forefront of building complex, scalable applications that directly impact the Coinbase customer experience. You'll focus on building and optimizing Go-based backend APIs and React-powered UIs at scale, while integrating with third-party platforms to streamline operations for our customer service teams

What you’ll be doing:

• Deliver cross-functional outcomes to complex problems in collaboration with product, design, security, data or other engineering teams
• Lead assessment and implementation of third-party AI/ML tools.
• Demonstrate a keen awareness of Coinbase’s platform, development practices, and various technical domains and build upon them to efficiently deliver improvements across multiple teams.

• Foresee potential issues before they arise and adapt their own approach, working within constraints to avoid adverse impact.
• Communicate across the company to technical and non-technical leaders with ease.
• Quickly distill complex technical themes so that an entry level, non-tech team member can understand them.
• Mentor team members in design techniques and best practices in coding, testing, release/deploy process, documentation, metrics/logging and scaling
• Working with teams and teammates across multiple time zones.

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 have experience in authoring and contributing to technical architecture and implementing them.

• You possess strong technical skills for system design and coding
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and a bias toward open, transparent cultural practices.
• Experience with third-party vendor integrations.
• You enjoy and have experience with large-scale, high-traffic platforms and implementing scalable, robust services in the real world.
• Experience in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, BuildKite or similar.
• Experience in rate limiters, caching, load balancing, circuit breakers, metrics, logging, tracing, debugging etc.
• Experience in event driven architectures (Kafka, MQ etc.), proficiency in either SQL or NoSQL DBs, understanding of concepts like gRPC, GraphQL, ETL.
