Senior Staff Software Engineer, Data Platform at Coinbase

This role is designed for a high-level technical visionary with deep expertise in distributed systems and large-scale data architecture. The ideal candidate has a "builder mindset," moving beyond simply managing service subscriptions to engineering custom, platform-grade infrastructure. You should have extensive experience handling massive data lifecycles—from ingestion and streaming to AI-ready warehousing—within high-growth environments. The position offers a top-tier compensation package (up to $298k base plus equity/bonuses) and a fully remote setup, though it emphasizes an "intense" culture with regular in-person offsites. You will have significant autonomy, reporting directly to the Senior Director of Engineering and serving as the primary technical voice for the entire Data Platform domain. It's a rare chance to architect a data foundation for the future of global finance and AI-driven crypto services. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have led technical strategy across multiple teams for large-scale data lakes, Kafka streaming, or real-time query engines. * Prefer building foundational infrastructure over managing third-party vendor consoles. * Are experienced in designing data systems specifically optimized for ML training and real-time AI inference. * Thrive in high-pressure, mission-driven environments that value radical feedback and rapid execution.
