As a Senior Software Engineer on the Blockchain Networks team within Coinbase’s Platform group, you will design and deliver critical infrastructure that integrates blockchain protocols with internal services for new assets, stablecoins, and staking. You’ll own multi-quarter initiatives such as new chain integrations and re-architecture efforts to improve system latency, reliability, and cost, while defining and maintaining APIs, SLOs, and observability for the systems you build. This role requires hands-on experience with Golang, Kafka, Redis, MongoDB, or similar technologies, along with a proven track record in designing, scaling, and maintaining distributed systems handling high-throughput workloads. You must also have direct experience with blockchain protocols like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and the ability to decompose complex systems into well-bounded microservices.

What you'll do

  • Own the design and delivery of blockchain network infrastructure abstracted into reliable APIs.
  • Lead multi-quarter initiatives to improve system latency, reliability, and cost.
  • Define and maintain APIs, SLOs, and observability for built systems with on-call responsibility.
  • Partner with product teams to establish data contracts and ship SDKs driving platform adoption.
  • Build deep technical context across multiple blockchain protocols to simplify cross-chain operations.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience in production services
  • Proven expertise in designing and maintaining distributed systems for high-throughput workloads
  • Hands-on experience with Golang, Kafka, Redis, MongoDB or similar technologies
  • Direct experience with blockchain protocols such as Ethereum or Bitcoin
