Description

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 Infrastructure org supports the systems, services, and tooling at the foundation of Coinbase’s mission to increase economic freedom. We enable Coinbase engineers to design, develop, and operate services quickly, safely, securely and reliably. Infrastructure teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase.We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join the Routing team within the Infrastructure org. The Routing team is responsible for edge and internal routing for traffic to and between Coinbase services. This role will primarily be responsible for building secure and fault-tolerant internal routing mechanisms to enhance the reliability and efficiency of service-to-service traffic across our infrastructure.
 
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
  • Design, build, and operate our edge and internal routing systems, including edge gateway, service mesh, service identity, service discovery and traffic management.
  • Implement customer-focused abstractions that simplify and standardize the way we offer routing capabilities.
  • Responsible for the performance, automation and standardization of edge and internal routing for Coinbase.
  • Learn and continue to foster an understanding of the long-term needs of our routing infrastructure.
  • Contribute to technical decisions providing design justification, coordination, and collaboration with other teams in the organization.
  • Communicate to gather requirements for routing offerings and capabilities, and to understand gaps and improvements.
  • Produce professional documentation and diagrams to clearly and concisely communicate concepts and architectures to infrastructure colleagues, in addition to our users.
  • Manage and assist in the resolution of complicated technical problems and incidents, provide appropriate communication and escalation.
  • Support and maintain our current infrastructure offerings to maintain a high level of service and availability to the rest of the organization.
  • Develop strong and effective working relationships with the rest of the Infrastructure organization, Security, business partners, stakeholders and vendors
  • Keep up to date with current developments and best practices within our domain and make bold and forward-looking recommendations.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
  • At least 8+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Showcase strong proficiency within a modern tech stack, like Go for languages and gRPC for communication.
  • Capable of independently driving large initiatives end-to-end while guiding more junior engineers to ensure project success.
  • Strong understanding of various low-level networking primitives such as TCP, HTTP, TLS, and interprocess communications (UDS).
  • Extensive experience in diagnosing and resolving complex network and distributed systems issues.
  • Experience building services involving public cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, or Azure with practical knowledge of cloud networking concepts.
  • Demonstrated experience operating critical, high-traffic infrastructure, including proficiency with monitor (via golden signals and service-specific metrics, logs, and traces), unix network debugging, scaling, and proactively addressing performance and reliability concerns.
  • Know what high quality code — and software engineering processes — look like and know how to foster an environment that creates them.
  • Exhibit our core values: clear communication, positive energy, continuous learning, and efficient execution.
  • Flexibility to adapt and pivot in a dynamic and demanding environment where change is the only constant.
  • Ability to set priorities and balance multiple deadlines.
Nice to haves:
  • Experience with distributed systems and container orchestration
  • Practical experience with Kubernetes
  • Practical experience with SPIFFE/SPIRE
  • Practical experience with Service Mesh (Istio, Envoy, Linkerd, etc.)
  • Technical understanding of X.509 and Public Key Infrastructure
  • You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from 10 to 100s of engineers)
  • You’ve built financial, high reliability or security systems
  • Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
