Job description

Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

Developer Experience (DevX) is responsible for making sure all engineers at Coinbase build high-quality products while being productive and engaged. We do this by providing infrastructure, libraries, frameworks, and tooling to make it easier and faster to build high quality applications.Within Developer Experience, we organize into “pods” that focus on different specializations. The “UI Systems” guild builds a state-of-the-art design system and tooling to guide engineers towards building high quality, consistent, delightful, and accessible UIs for both web and mobile.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

Our accessibility engineer will focus on several critical initiatives to ensure our products are universally usable. Key among these initiatives are developing and enhancing tooling that allows teams to build fully accessible products more quickly and effortlessly. They will also expand our dashboarding and metrics, providing product teams and leadership with clear, easy-to-understand data on the status of accessibility within their projects. Furthermore, they will develop components within our design system that adhere to the highest accessibility standards. Lastly, the engineer will offer white glove support to crucial cross-functional product teams, ensuring they meet their goals and create inclusive experiences for all users.

As the founding engineer of a central accessibility team, you'll have the unique opportunity to work on cross-functional critical areas of the product and contribute to building accessible components in our design system. Additionally, you'll develop tooling to help all engineers at Coinbase create more accessible products, driving our mission of creating economic freedom for everyone forward.

What you'll be doing:

  • Build new services to meet critical product and business needs using Golang.
  • Design scalable systems to solve novel problems with modern cloud technology and industry best practices.
  • Articulate a long term vision for maintaining and scaling our backend systems and the teams running them.
  • Work with engineers, designers, product managers and senior leadership to turn our product and technical vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter.
  • Write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers.
  • Increase visibility of accessibility at Coinbase by enhancing and creating dashboards to display accessibility health metrics.
  • Simplify accessibility for engineers by building scalable accessibility tools and educating engineers on accessibility best practices.
  • Evangelize accessibility within product teams by reviewing product accessibility and providing white glove support to critical areas of our products.

What we look for in you:

  • You have at least 3+ years of experience in software engineering.
  • Strong React and React Native experience
  • Extensive knowledge of semantic HTML and proper use of ARIA.
  • Experience with assistive technologies, such as screen readers, voice dictation, and magnification.

Nice to haves:

  • You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from startup to mid-size).
  • You’ve built growth experiments or A/B tests.
  • You have experience with Blockchains (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc..)
  • You have experience building platform services.
  • You’ve worked with Golang, Ruby, Docker, Sinatra, Rails, Postgres, MongoDB or Redshift.
  • You’ve built financial, high reliability or security systems.
  • Proficiency in accessibility evaluation tools such as Deque aXe or other automated accessibility tooling
  • Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services
