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 mission of the Platform Product Group engineers is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase. There are many teams that make up this group which include Product Foundations (i.e. Identity, Payment, Risk, Proofing & Regulatory, Finhub), Machine Learning, Customer Experience, and Infrastructure.The Compute team builds and operates the Kubernetes platform at Coinbase, which is the primary compute orchestration infrastructure for services at Coinbase. We work towards continuously improving the scalability, reliability, efficiency, and operational experience of using Kubernetes at Coinbase, working closely with the Routing, Security, Reliability, and Observability teams (among many others). What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
  • Build tooling and automation to make management of our Kubernetes clusters easy and reliable.
  • Build tooling and automation to improve the developer and operational experience of working with Kubernetes for all users.
  • Operationalize our Kubernetes platform so that it continues to be automated and self-healing to prevent unnecessary on-call burden.
  • Develop net-new Kubernetes-related capabilities for service owners at Coinbase (e.g. one off jobs, cron, different deployment strategies, support for EFS, automated right sizing).
  • Support our customers as they operate critical services for Coinbase in Kubernetes.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
  • You have at least 8 years of software engineering experience and expertise with Kubernetes, or similar compute orchestration systems (e.g. mesos, nomad)
  • Strong AWS and/or GCP infrastructure knowledge
  • Ability to build backend services in addition to infrastructure
  • Ability to hold a high bar for quality, are a self starter, and have strong interpersonal skills
  • Strong problem solving skills and ability to identify problems, determine their root cause, and see them through to solution
  • Ability to balance business needs with technical solutions
  • Has experience scaling backend infrastructure
