Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

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.

Team - The Agent Productivity Tools (APT) team is a vital part of Coinbase’s Enterprise Applications and Architecture org, responsible for building the customer experience platforms that streamlines the customer service and compliance processes with innovative services, tools and applications that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of CX agents. This helps resolve customer issues and compliance KYC processes faster, with greater accuracy, and ultimately this leads to higher customer satisfaction levels and a better overall compliant experience for our customers.

Role - You will be building applications that will enable Coinbase Customer Agents and other users to increase their productivity, drive automation, and deliver impact at scale through full stack dev and 3rd party integrations.

• Foresee potential issues before they arise and adapt their own approach, working within constraints to avoid adverse impact.
• Communicate across the company to technical and non-technical leaders with ease.
• Quickly distill complex technical themes so that an entry level, non-tech team member can understand them.
• Mentor team members in design techniques and best practices in coding, testing, release/deploy process, documentation, metrics/logging and scaling.
