In the past few years, the foundational technology required for crypto to replace traditional payment rails has finally come online : stablecoins, cost-effective L2 networks, and Coinbase Smart Wallet. This represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity for Coinbase to disrupt the payments industry by leveraging its leading position in onchain development and deep expertise of existing fiat rails.

This role is for the lead engineer of the team for this new Onchain Payments effort, which will include both 0-1 product development and building off of the existing Coinbase Commerce product. It’s best to think of the team as a start-up within Coinbase looking to find product market fit for a radically new approach to payments

  • Bring a 0-to-1 product to life to replace the global payment stack with crypto rails
  • Lead the fullstack design and development of a secure, high-performance product using TypeScript, Go, and Solidity

  • Design, implement, and drive adoption of a novel open-source web3 payment protocol using Solidity
  • Work closely with product managers, designers, and other cross-functional partners to find product market fit
  • Leverage, maintain, and improve upon an existing legacy codebase of Coinbase Commerce
  • Drive the adoption of engineering best practices, ensuring operational excellence and sound maintenance of legacy code
  • Optimize frontend and backend performance, ensuring fast transaction processing, smooth UI interactions, and efficient resource utilization
  • Troubleshoot and debug complex fullstack issues, ensuring platform stability, reliability, and security
  • Provide technical guidance and support to the entire engineering team and contribute to the overall technical direction of Coinbase

What we look for in you :

  • 8 years of experience in software development with a strong focus on fullstack development; 2 years of experience in a leadership position of a crypto start-up is a plus
  • Mastery of Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Solidity; familiarity with Ruby is a plus

  • Deep understanding of Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains and experience with developing smart contracts
  • Demonstrated commitment to excellent developer experiences and open source code, especially in relation to crypto and payments
  • Strong expertise in frontend development using modern frameworks like React, Next.js, and Angular
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and event-driven architectures, including experience with databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), caching systems (Redis, Memcached), and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
  • Experience with developer operations, including Cloud providers such as AWS and containerization technologies such as Kubernetes
  • Deep understanding of web security best practices and experience with implementing secure coding practices for financial systems
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills and ability to find elegant solutions to complex challenges in the crypto payment processing domain
