Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure - Platform Compute at Coinbase

This role is for a seasoned infrastructure expert who thrives in "high-intensity" environments. While listed as mid-level in the metadata, the requirements specifically call for **8+ years of experience** with a deep specialization in Kubernetes and cloud orchestration. You should be equally comfortable writing backend code as you are managing large-scale AWS/GCP infrastructure. The compensation is highly competitive ($218k–$256k base) for a fully remote US-based position. You’ll be joining the "Platform Product Group," specifically the Compute team, where the focus is on building self-healing, automated systems rather than just manual maintenance. Note that while remote, they expect travel for in-person offsites several times a year. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have extensive experience scaling backend infrastructure and managing Kubernetes clusters at an enterprise level. * Enjoy building internal tooling and automation to eliminate "on-call" manual toil. * Are comfortable with a "hardcore" work culture that prioritizes high-pressure problem-solving and constant feedback. * Can balance "net-new" feature development (like custom deployment strategies) with high-bar operational reliability.
