As a Senior Software Engineer on the Data Platform team at Coinbase, you will design, develop, and operate foundational data services including cloud data warehouses, data lakes, orchestration tools like Airflow, batch processing with Spark and SQL, streaming with Kafka, and real-time event aggregation stores. You’ll build and maintain SDKs for internal teams to interact with the data platform reliably at scale, while also architecting self-service applications that enable users to manage their own data pipelines. Additionally, you will ensure end-to-end data security and observability by designing access controls, tracking data quality, cataloging datasets, and auditing usage. This role requires 5+ years of backend software engineering experience with hands-on expertise in building and operating data systems or pipelines, proficiency in Python, Go, or Java, and familiarity with data infrastructure patterns such as scale-out architectures and caching layers.
