Senior Software Engineer, Backend - Platform (Payments) at Coinbase

This role is ideal for a seasoned backend engineer with at least 5 years of experience who thrives in high-pressure, high-growth environments. You should be a master of service-oriented architecture, comfortable building scalable systems from scratch, and specifically proficient in (or willing to master) Golang. Experience with financial systems or blockchain technology is a major plus, as you’ll be building the infrastructure that connects traditional fiat to the crypto economy. The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from $186k to $219k base plus equity and bonuses. While the role is remote-first within the USA, it emphasizes high-intensity collaboration and requires travel for in-person offsites several times a year. This is a "mission-driven" culture that leans into intense work cycles and the use of cutting-edge AI tools to maximize efficiency. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have experience decomposing monoliths into microservices and scaling production-grade systems. * Are comfortable using Generative AI tools to accelerate your development workflow. * Thrive in an "intense" work culture that prioritizes rapid iteration and high standards. * Want to build high-reliability payment systems that facilitate global crypto adoption.
