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.
Staking Infra builds and manages the Kubernetes and surrounding infrastructure associated with Cloud Staking validators run by Coinbase (for both internal and external customers). As part of the Bison Trails acquisition, this team is also responsible for the continued migration of this infrastructure onto “paved road” Coinbase infrastructure. This team works very closely with the Cloud Staking teams as well as the Compute team in Infra to help migrate and buildout support for validator workloads in Kubernetes at Coinbase.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Build first-class support for staking validator workloads on Coinbase infrastructure
- Support existing GCP / AWS infrastructure and operations for staking validators for internal and external customers
- Build tooling and automation to make management of our Kubernetes clusters easy and reliable.
- Build tooling and automation to improve the developer experience of working with Kubernetes for all developers.
- Operationalize our Kubernetes platform so that it continues to be automated and self-healing to prevent unnecessary oncall burden.
- Support our customers as they operate critical staking services for Coinbase in Kubernetes
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- You have at least 3+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with some knowledge of Kubernetes, or similar compute orchestration systems (e.g. mesos, nomad)
- Working 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
Nice to Have:
- Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
