Coinbase is a leading cryptocurrency exchange and financial services platform that builds infrastructure for buying, selling, and using digital assets. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Blockchain Networks team within the Platform group, you will design and deliver core infrastructure that abstracts blockchain protocols into reliable internal APIs. The role involves owning multi‑quarter projects such as new chain integrations, re‑architecting services, and data migrations to improve latency, reliability, and cost. You will define API contracts, set service level objectives, implement observability, and participate in on‑call rotation. Collaboration with product and other platform teams is required to create SDKs and platform primitives that other engineers can adopt. The position calls for at least five years of experience building production services in a service‑oriented architecture, strong skills in distributed systems, and hands‑on work with technologies like Go, Kafka, Redis or MongoDB. Direct experience with blockchain protocols such as Bitcoin or Ethereum and the ability to break down complex monoliths into microservices are essential. The role suits engineers who enjoy tackling high‑throughput, low‑latency challenges and translating complex crypto operations into simple, scalable services.
