Senior Software Engineer, Backend (Platform - Financial Eng) at Coinbase

This role is ideal for a seasoned backend engineer with at least 5 years of experience building high-performance, distributed systems. Since this position sits within the Financial Engineering team, they are looking for someone comfortable with "high-precision" data—think accounting systems, transaction processing, and auditable financial workflows. You should be someone who enjoys architectural challenges, such as decomposing monoliths into microservices, and leading technical initiatives through mentorship. The compensation is highly competitive, ranging from **$186,000 to $218,900** base, plus equity and bonuses. While the role is remote-friendly across the USA, it is not "remote-only"; you must be willing to travel for in-person team offsites several times a year. A notable highlight is the company's explicit embrace of Generative AI tools (like Gemini and GitHub Copilot) to boost engineering velocity as part of the daily workflow. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have deep expertise in **Golang** and building service-oriented architectures. * Are comfortable handling complex financial data where accuracy and traceability are non-negotiable. * Thrive in an "intense" work culture that prioritizes high-caliber output and rapid growth. * Have experience with modern infrastructure like Docker, Postgres, or DynamoDB.
