> Senior Software Engineer building and operating Coinbase's core developer infrastructure: CI/CD, build systems, deployment orchestration, and test infrastructure used by all Coinbase engineers.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate core developer-infrastructure services — spanning CI and build systems, deployment orchestration, and test infrastructure — that are fast, reliable, and secure by default at Coinbase scale.
- Drive measurable improvements to build and CI wall time, deploy speed and safety, and test feedback time and flakiness.
- Own services end to end, including SLOs, observability, and on-call.
- Partner closely with engineering teams across Coinbase to understand pain points and turn them into platform improvements.
- Lead technical design for ambitious, cross-cutting projects and see them through to production.
- Mentor engineers and shape the technical direction of the platform.

## Requirements
- 5+ years building and operating production software, with strong fundamentals in distributed systems and a primary language like Go (or similar).
- Track record of shipping high-impact backend or platform systems that other engineers or services depend on, with strong ownership from design through production.
- Strong operational instincts — care about reliability, security, and observability, and build for production from day one.
- Clear communication and the ability to drive projects independently and collaborate across teams.
- Customer-focused mindset: measure success by the impact systems have on other engineers.

## Nice to Haves
- Direct experience in a developer infrastructure or platform domain: CI/CD, build systems, deployment/release tooling, test infrastructure, or developer productivity engineering.
- Experience operating at scale with Kubernetes, AWS, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and containers (Docker/OCI).
- Domain specific depth such as Bazel/Buck-style build systems and remote execution, progressive delivery (e.g. canary/rollback), or test selection, sharding, and flaky-test detection.
- Experience with observability and performance tooling (e.g., Datadog) to measure and improve system behavior.
- Curiosity about crypto/web3 and a desire to learn the domain; experience in a regulated or security-sensitive environment is a plus.
