Job description

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people. We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web3 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Most importantly, we seek people who are excited about crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We’re a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.

Who you are:

  • You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there. 
  • You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0. 
  • You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
  • You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
  • You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
  • You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

The Institutional Product Group is dedicated to creating a top-tier Exchange platform, offering unparalleled low latency and high performance in the crypto trading space. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Exchange team, you’ll be instrumental in developing and sustaining the core technology that drives our platform. Collaborating with a talented group of engineers and product managers, you’ll deliver institutional-grade systems that empower high-value customers to trade with unmatched speed and efficiency. This role presents the opportunity to tackle complex, unique challenges, bridging the demands of large-scale applications with the precision required for low-latency trading systems. You'll be at the forefront of designing, building, and executing solutions for some of the most impactful and challenging problems in the industry.

 

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
  • Build new services to meet critical product and business needs using Java, Golang, or similar technologies.
  • Design scalable, low latency, garbage free systems to solve novel problems with modern cloud technology and industry best practices.
  • Propose enhancements to scale our core trading systems and increase their robustness.
  • Work with engineers, product managers, designers and senior leadership to execute our technical vision, with product and customer perspective.
  • Write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers.
What we look for in you:
  • 5+ years of experience in backend software engineering using Java, Golang, or similar languages
  • You’ve developed and maintained high volume and low latency production services.
  • You’re experienced in developing solutions to ambiguous problems with significant impact
  • You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together

 

Nice to haves:
  • You have experience developing trading systems or matching engines that have high volume and low latency characteristics
  • Demonstrated experience working with complex distributed systems at scale
  • You are familiar with developing event driven architectures, GC free coding approaches
  • Knowledge of AWS infrastructure and tools, as well as containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes
  • You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from startup to mid-size).
  • Experience with growth experiments or A/B testing frameworks.
  • You have experience with Blockchain technology (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc..)
  • You have experience decomposing a large monolith into microservices.
