Coinbase is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Simple Trade Experience team within Consumer & Business. This team powers the critical buy, sell, and convert journeys on Coinbase's Simple interface across app and website, supporting multiple trading types and assets for millions of users worldwide.
You will own the design and delivery of highly performant, available, and consistent backend and frontend systems that enable customers to trade with confidence at web-scale. Key responsibilities include architecting robust, extensible systems that support multiple trading types (Spot, Limit, Recurring, and more) while maintaining reliability; partnering closely with product and design to define and ship best-in-class trading experiences across web and mobile; driving production service evolution as traffic and product scope grow; and strengthening engineering quality through rigorous code reviews, mentorship, and knowledge sharing.
Required qualifications: 5+ years of software engineering experience with demonstrated success building and scaling production services handling web-scale traffic. You should have a proven track record designing, building, and maintaining high-availability distributed systems that evolve over time, ideally in trading or financial systems. Deep proficiency in backend systems languages (Java, Golang, or similar) with experience in data stores such as MongoDB or Redis is essential. You must demonstrate the ability to pair customer-focused product thinking with comprehensive observability and operational excellence, and have experience upgrading or re-architecting significant legacy systems into next-generation platforms. Responsible use of generative AI to maintain human oversight and deliver business-ready outputs is expected.
Coinbase is a remote-first but not remote-only company. Expect quarterly in-person working sessions called "surges." The company is uncompromising on its mission to increase economic freedom and maintains a high-intensity environment focused on building the future of finance.
