Senior Software Engineer, Backend - Blockchain Platform (Staking Validators) at Coinbase

This role is for a seasoned backend engineer with a deep interest in blockchain infrastructure and decentralized protocols. It is ideal for someone who can act as a Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for specific protocols, combining high-level systems architecture with the hands-on technical skills needed to manage a massive validator fleet. You should be comfortable with high-intensity environments and have a background in operating performant nodes at scale. The position offers a strong compensation package ($186k - $218k base + equity) and the chance to work at the "bleeding edge" of the crypto industry. While the role is fully remote within the USA, it emphasizes high-caliber collaboration through several mandatory in-person offsites annually. You will gain unique visibility as a subject matter expert, engaging directly with the wider crypto community and internal stakeholders. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have experience with Proof-of-Stake (PoS) infrastructure and validator node operations. * Are proficient in Kubernetes and building high-uptime observability/monitoring systems. * Thrive in "intense" cultures and enjoy taking full ownership of complex technical domains. * Want to influence the performance and yield of one of the world's largest validator fleets.
