Coinbase is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Frontend to own user-facing experiences for the Identity Horizontal team within the Platform group. You will lead end-to-end frontend delivery for login, signup, OAuth, account security, and multi-factor authentication—critical surfaces that every Coinbase customer encounters first.
In this role, you will architect and implement authentication experiences that balance security, regulatory compliance, and user experience. You'll lead end-to-end frontend projects from design through implementation, deployment, and monitoring. You'll author and review technical design documents, breaking down complex initiatives into executable plans. A key responsibility is driving the Native vs. Webview architecture strategy for authentication surfaces, evaluating trade-offs across latency, reliability, and UX.
You'll proactively identify and resolve technical debt and code quality issues across the team's codebase, not just your own scope. You'll lead team rituals including on-call rotations, code review standards, and incident response. As the team scales, you'll mentor L04 engineers on frontend craft and ownership.
Required: 5+ years of production frontend engineering with React and TypeScript, including independently leading end-to-end delivery of complex projects. You must have authored and driven technical design documents through cross-functional review on 2-3 major initiatives. Demonstrated ability to identify and resolve systemic technical debt with measurable improvements to reliability or developer velocity. Experience mentoring engineers and leading team rituals. Responsible use of generative AI to maintain human oversight and deliver business-ready outputs.
Coinbase is remote-first but not remote-only, with quarterly in-person "surge" sessions for intense collaborative work. The company emphasizes high standards, intensity, and pushing beyond perceived limits.
