Are you ready to challenge your limits and achieve greatness? At Coinbase, our mission is to enhance economic freedom worldwide. This ambitious goal calls for exceptional talent as we build the upcoming on-chain platform that will shape the future global financial system. We are seeking a unique individual who is passionate about our mission and believes in the potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to transform the financial landscape. You should be eager to make a meaningful impact, thrive under pressure, and actively seek feedback to continuously improve. We want problem solvers who tackle the toughest challenges head-on. Our work culture is dynamic and intense, making it ideal for individuals who are excited to build the future alongside other experts who expect high performance from themselves and their colleagues. Although many roles at Coinbase offer remote flexibility, we require in-person participation throughout the year. Company-wide and team offsites occur multiple times annually to foster collaboration and connection. Your attendance will be both expected and fully supported. We are constructing an industry-leading, ultra-low-latency indexing platform that ingests and indexes data from major blockchains, facilitating efficient operations for both Coinbase teams and external developers through the Coinbase Developer Platform. This real-time backbone will enable a diverse range of applications. You'll collaborate with a modern streaming stack (including gRPC and Kafka) to design, build, and manage low-latency services at scale. As part of a small, high-impact team, you will work broadly to deliver platform primitives, SDKs, and tools that accelerate developer productivity and shorten time-to-market. Your Responsibilities: Develop and manage low-latency indexing and streaming services utilizing gRPC, Kafka, and our real-time infrastructure.
Take ownership of APIs, schemas, SLOs, observability, and on-call responsibilities for the systems you oversee.
Lead multi-month projects aimed at enhancing latency, reliability, and cost-efficiency, including new chain integrations and system migrations.
Collaborate with various teams to define data contracts and launch SDKs/platform primitives that foster adoption.
What We Value in You: At least 5 years of experience in software engineering.
Strong background in distributed systems or data systems is crucial. Knowledge of crypto is a significant advantage.
You have successfully architected and implemented solutions for complex problems with considerable impact.
You are enthusiastic about building an indexing platform that bridges the gaps between the Web3 and Web2 ecosystems.
Preferred Qualifications: Experience in designing and developing distributed systems.
Have participated in a company's rapid growth (e.g., from a small team to hundreds of engineers).
Experience with blockchain technologies (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum).
A proven track record in decomposing large monolithic applications into microservices.
Familiarity with technologies such as Golang, Kafka, Redis, S3, Clickhouse, and MongoDB.
You have contributed to high-reliability or high-security financial systems.
Crypto-forward expertise, including understanding on-chain activity such as using Ethereum addresses, engaging with dApps, and working with blockchain services.
