Coinbase's Data Platform team is hiring a Software Engineer to build and operate the systems that centralize all internal and third-party data, enabling teams across the company to access, process, and transform data for analytics, machine learning, and end-user experiences.
In this role, you'll sit between the platform infrastructure and the analysts, data scientists, and data engineers who use it daily. You'll design and build the SDKs, self-service applications, and abstractions that allow thousands of pipelines and analyses to run smoothly without users needing to understand the underlying infrastructure.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building clean software abstractions and modular, reusable components to support thousands of pipelines at scale
- Developing and maintaining data integration and processing SDKs used across Coinbase
- Designing self-service applications that enable analysts and data scientists to create, manage, and troubleshoot pipelines independently
- Building tooling for data security and observability: access controls, data quality tracking, dataset cataloging, lineage, and usage auditing
- Working cross-functionally with upstream teams on database design and downstream teams on data models and metrics
- Converting functional requests from analysts, ML, and compliance teams into reusable, scalable patterns
Required qualifications:
- 3+ years of relevant work experience
- Strong Python or Java backend development skills
- Fluent SQL for ETL/ELT, data quality, and analysis
- Hands-on experience with Snowflake, Databricks, or similar platforms
- General experience with data systems or data pipelines
- Working knowledge of git, Linux, and Docker
- Experience with Airflow, BI tools, and AI tools
Coinbase is a remote-first company with quarterly in-person "surge" sessions for intense collaborative work. The role offers competitive compensation with equity and bonus eligibility, plus comprehensive benefits.
