Coinbase is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Tokens & Wrapped Assets team within the Platform organization. This team builds and operates the infrastructure that issues, wraps, and transforms every asset at Coinbase, including flagship wrapped assets like cbBTC, spanning Ethereum, Base, and Solana.
You will own complex projects end-to-end, from smart contract deployment through API design, SLOs, and production rollout across multiple chains. Your responsibilities include building and operating Go services and smart contracts that mint, burn, bridge, and reconcile wrapped assets, ensuring correctness across on-chain and off-chain systems. You'll drive improvements to the asset transformation and migration pipeline, making it faster and safer to launch, upgrade, and migrate tokens at scale.
You will partner across Trading, Custody, USDC, Compliance, and the broader crypto stack to ship customer- and revenue-impacting work that advances onchain innovation. You'll lead on-call ownership for team services, building observability, runbooks, and operational improvements that keep Tier-0 systems reliable. You'll also strengthen team engineering quality by onboarding and coaching junior engineers, contributing to design reviews, and establishing patterns that raise the technical bar.
Required qualifications include 5+ years of software engineering experience with proficiency in at least one backend language (Go preferred), including designing, building, and operating production backend services at scale. You need hands-on blockchain experience, either from smart contract development (Solidity/EVM), onchain integrations, or building services that transact onchain. Demonstrated experience with distributed systems patterns including APIs, event-driven architectures, data reconciliation, and on-call ownership is essential. You should have a track record of owning complex projects with autonomy in fast-moving, multi-chain or multi-system environments. Coinbase is a remote-first company with quarterly in-person working sessions called "surges."
