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.
Coinbase stores a large amount of digital currency making us a top tier target on the internet. Security is core to our mission and has been a key competitive differentiator for us as we scale. If you’re looking to fight on the front lines in a high-intensity environment, we’d like to speak with you about joining our security team. As a Software Engineer in Security Platform, you will be working on building software capabilities and solutions for a variety of security use cases. Our team builds and maintains the platforms critical for security, compliance and data protection at Coinbase. You will be working on designing novel platforms & solutions for ensuring we protect cryptographic secrets along with managing our internal and external PKI systems. We highly value individuals with intellectual curiosity and openness. We collaborate across the organization, helping our engineers think big and take risks while building a culture of diversity, positive energy, and blameless truth-seeking.
What you’ll be doing:
- Build & maintain services to meet critical product and business needs using Golang and Python
- Design scalable systems to solve novel problems with modern cloud technology and industry best practices.
- Articulate a long term vision for maintaining and scaling our backend systems and the teams running them.
- Working on cryptography based software systems to ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of important data
- Develop and maintain PKI based systems for both internal and external use-cases
What we look for in you:
- You have at least 4 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:
- You have experience working on cryptography based software and/or hardware systems.
- You have experience working on or building PKI systems.
- You have worked in a Security department or group in a previous company.
- You’ve built financial, high reliability, or security systems.
