The opportunity
Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At Coinbase , we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom.
What you'll do
Own core developer infrastructure platforms, including CI/build systems and: deployment orchestration, across the full lifecycle from design through production operation.
Identify the group's highest-leverage problems, turn ambiguous and unscoped: challenges into concrete technical roadmaps, and drive alignment across dependent teams.
Drive step-change improvements to the metrics every engineer feels: build and CI wall time, deploy speed and safety, and developer feedback latency.
Lead strategic, cross-cutting initiatives end to end, including large-scale: platform migrations, landing them across many teams alongside the engineers doing the work.
Raise the reliability bar for developer infrastructure by owning SLOs,: observability, and on-call, designing systems that recover fast rather than cascade into company-wide incidents.
Partner with engineering customers, EMs, and leadership across Coinbase to: shape technical strategy and drive org-wide adoption of what you build, while mentoring engineers through design review, pairing, and shared ownership.
What they're looking for
- + years building and operating production distributed systems, with hands-on: proficiency in Go or a comparable systems language and direct experience in CI/CD, build systems, or deployment tooling.
- Track record of designing and shipping high-impact backend or platform: systems that many engineers and services depend on, owning them from ambiguous problem statements through long-term production operation.
- Demonstrated technical leadership on cross-team initiatives: setting architectural direction, driving org-wide alignment, and making decisions that held up at scale, while staying close enough to the code to lead by example.
- Deep operational expertise with production systems where downtime has a broad: blast radius, including designing for reliability, observability, and fast recovery from day one.
