About the job

Are you ready to challenge your limits and redefine what you believe is possible?

At Coinbase, we are committed to enhancing economic freedom worldwide. This monumental mission requires our utmost dedication as we construct the future of the on-chain platform and, in turn, the global financial ecosystem.

We are on the lookout for an exceptional candidate who shares our vision and is enthusiastic about the transformative potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in revolutionizing financial systems. We seek individuals aspiring to make a meaningful impact, thrive under pressure, and embrace the opportunity to collaborate with highly skilled colleagues. If you are someone who actively seeks constructive feedback for continuous improvement and eagerly confronts challenging problems, we want you on our team.

Our work culture is dynamic and may not suit everyone. However, if your goal is to shape the future alongside top-tier professionals who demand excellence, you will find no better environment.

While many positions at Coinbase are remote-first, we emphasize the importance of in-person engagement throughout the year. We host team and company-wide offsites multiple times annually to enhance collaboration, connectivity, and alignment, and attendance is both expected and fully supported.

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Payment Rails team within the Platform organization at Coinbase. The Payment Rails team is responsible for the critical infrastructure that facilitates all fiat and cryptocurrency transactions at Coinbase, handling billions of dollars in transaction volume across various payment methods, gateways, and settlement systems. In this role, you will have ownership of the architecture and technical direction of our payment rails infrastructure, creating fault-tolerant, high-reliability systems that allow for fluid transfers at a global scale while upholding the safety and compliance standards crucial for our customers.
