This role is designed for mid-level backend engineers (2+ years of experience) who thrive in high-pressure, high-scale environments. The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in building production-grade services that handle web-scale traffic. While the tech stack focuses on Go, MongoDB, and Redis, the team is looking for "product-minded" engineers who can bridge the gap between complex financial infrastructure (like futures and spot trading) and a seamless user experience. The position offers a competitive salary range of $152k – $179k, plus equity and performance bonuses. While the role is remote within the USA, it emphasizes a "high-intensity" culture and high-caliber peer group. You’ll enjoy the flexibility of remote work balanced with several annual in-person offsites to maintain team alignment and collaboration. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have experience scaling distributed systems and maintaining high availability for financial or high-traffic platforms. * Are comfortable working with (or learning) Go, MongoDB, Redis, and Snowflake. * Possess a "customer-first" mindset and enjoy collaborating closely with product and design teams. * Thrive in fast-paced cultures that prioritize radical candor and continuous feedback.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.
