Senior Software Engineer, Data Engineering Platform

What you'll do

• Own the design and delivery of blockchain network infrastructure that abstracts blockchain complexity into reliable, platform APIs
• Lead multi-quarter initiatives including new chain integrations, re-architecture efforts, and data migrations that improve system latency, reliability, and cost
• Define and maintain APIs, SLOs, and observability for the systems you build, including on-call ownership
• Partner with product and platform teams to establish data contracts and ship SDKs and platform primitives that drive adoption across Coinbase
• Build deep technical context across multiple top blockchain protocols (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) and apply that knowledge to simplify cross-chain operations

Required Skills and Experience

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of production services in a service-oriented architecture
• Proven track record designing, scaling, and maintaining distributed systems handling high-throughput, low-latency workloads
• Hands-on experience with at least two of the following: Golang, Kafka, Redis, MongoDB, or similar infrastructure technologies
• Direct experience with blockchain protocols or crypto infrastructure (e.g., integrating with Ethereum, Bitcoin, or similar L1/L2 networks)
• Demonstrated ability to decompose complex systems (monoliths, legacy architectures) into well-bounded microservices with clear API contracts
• Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
