Staff Software Engineer (Policies Platform - Identity) at Coinbase

You're an expert backend engineer with over eight years of experience building high-throughput systems and a proven track record of shipping AI or LLM-powered developer tools in production. You excel at taking loose infrastructure problems like policy management and turning them into scalable, self-serve platforms using Go and Kubernetes. **What makes it worth a look...** Coinbase is offering this fully remote position for US-based talent, though you will need to commute to their San Francisco or New York City offices about once a week for reviews. It is a chance to serve as the technical anchor for a platform handling millions of requests per minute, moving the company toward an AI-native authorization engine. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have mastered Go, gRPC, and service mesh architectures in high-availability environments. * Built and deployed AI agents or LLM-based code generation systems into production. * Worked with policy-as-code or authorization frameworks like OPA, Cedar, or Zanzibar. * Can manage complex CI/CD pipelines for automated load and regression testing.
