Senior Software Engineer, Developer Infrastructure Coinbase's Developer Infrastructure group builds the systems every Coinbase engineer relies on to write, validate, ship, and run their code. Our teams collectively own the path from commit to production — scalable CI and build infrastructure, the platform that moves code safely to production, and the test infrastructure that gives engineers fast, trustworthy signals. We're hiring Senior Software Engineers across several teams in the group, and you'll be matched to the one that best fits your strengths and interests. Wherever you land, you'll design and operate foundational platform services used by all of Coinbase engineering, where a single improvement in build speed, deploy safety, or test reliability compounds across thousands of engineers. This is high-leverage, deep systems work at a financial-grade reliability and security bar
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties): Design, build, and operate core developer-infrastructure services — spanning CI and build systems, deployment orchestration, and test infrastructure — that are fast, reliable, and secure by default at Coinbase scale
Drive measurable improvements to the metrics every engineer feels: build and CI wall time, deploy speed and safety, and test feedback time and flakiness
Own your services end to end, including SLOs, observability, and on-call
Partner closely with engineering teams across Coinbase (your customers) to understand pain points and turn them into platform improvements
Lead technical design for ambitious, cross-cutting projects and see them through to production
Act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers and shaping the technical direction of the platform
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): 5+ years building and operating production software, with strong fundamentals in distributed systems and a primary language like Go (or similar)
