About this role

Join Coinbase as a Senior Staff Software Engineer to lead the Blockchain Platform team, driving technical strategy and building next-gen crypto infrastructure in a remote-first environment.

Description

Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and we like it that way. This isn't a place for complacency, it’s a place to be pushed past your perceived limits. If you're ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for "good enough," you belong here. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.” Blockchain Platform operates foundational infrastructure that connects Coinbase's products to the broader crypto economy. We build systems that power millions of transactions that match the speed and cost of underlying blockchains while maintaining industry-leading security of our users’ assets. We operate the nodes, indexers, wallets, and orchestration systems that power every core crypto action across Coinbase: send, receive, stake, bridge, wrap, and more. Over the past several years, we've grown to support 60+ blockchain networks and 300+ tokens across Coinbase's Retail, Institutional, and onchain products. Our teams span Asset Lifecycle, Nodes, Wallets, Blockchain Data, Blockchain Insights, Staking, and Developer Experience & AI - and we're in the middle of our next major chapter. We're investing deeply in rearchitecting our wallet stack, indexing infrastructure, and internal asset identifier systems for the next order of magnitude in scale, extensibility, and performance, while advancing new bets in Yield and Stablecoins. We're looking for a highly technical, crypto-passionate leader to define our engineering vision and help us build the next generation of industry-leading crypto infrastructure.

Responsibilities
  • Define and drive the multi-quarter technical strategy for Blockchain Platform, spanning nodes, wallets, indexing, and asset lifecycle, to support new chains, new products, and significant growth in onchain transaction volume.
  • Architect and evolve the core Blockchain Platform infrastructure - nodes, indexers, wallet systems, and liquidity primitives - for high availability, low latency, cost efficiency, and security at global scale.
  • Lead end-to-end design and rollout of large, cross-team architectural initiatives (e.g., wallet stack rearchitecture, indexing stack redesign, asset identifier system), breaking high ambiguity into clear milestones and measurable outcomes.
  • Set and enforce technical standards for correctness, security, and reliability across all crypto asset operations, including transaction finality, key management, reconciliation, and failure-mode handling for all onchain flows.
  • Drive engineering efficiency across the org - defining standards for testing, quality, automation, and observability, and championing AI-native approaches that reduce operational burden and enable agents to serve as front-line operators.
  • Use data and observability signals (e.g., transaction success rates, node reliability, indexing latency, on-call burden) to identify structural platform gaps and lead systematic reliability and efficiency improvements.
  • Represent Blockchain Platform in executive and cross-org forums, clearly communicating tradeoffs, aligning stakeholders on strategy, and securing buy-in for high-impact technical bets including emerging areas like Yield and Stablecoins.
Requirements
  • Experience with high-throughput transaction systems requiring strong auditability, idempotency, and financial precision.
  • Familiarity with staking infrastructure, bridging protocols, or tokenization systems.
  • Experience applying AI or agent-based automation to reduce operational toil in platform or infrastructure contexts.
  • Background at a high-scale technology company with a track record of platform-level impact across multiple teams.

Nice to haves:

  • Hands-on experience with one or more blockchain protocols at the node or protocol level (e.g., EVM chains, Solana, Bitcoin, L2s).
Conditions & Benefits
  • Base salary varies by location (see range below). Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility, and benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k)).
  • Annual base salary range (excluding equity and bonus): $253,895—$298,700 USD.
