Software Engineer, Frontend - Risk Platform

Overview

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. 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.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.

The mission of the Risk Platform Team is to foster business growth by effectively managing financial risks impacting the business and its users. We build flexible, scalable, and customizable engineering systems to detect and prevent fraud, incorporating mechanisms for real-time, near-real-time, and scheduled workflows.

• Shape the next generation of Risk Platform architecture that powers Coinbase.

• Articulate a long term technical direction and vision for maintaining and scaling our web and mobile platforms.

• Create trustworthy user experiences by building interfaces that are simple, easy to comprehend, performant and reliable using modern tools like React, React Native, Typescript, React Navigation, Jest and Webpack.

• Turn our vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter by working with engineers, product managers and senior leadership.

• Mentor and train other team members on design techniques and coding standards.

• Add positive energy in every meeting, and make your coworkers feel included in every interaction.

• You have at least 2 years of experience in software engineering, developing web apps and shipping user-facing features with JavaScript and modern, component-based JS frameworks like React.

• You've developed and shipped user-facing features using component-based UI frameworks.

• You’re familiar with current trends and best practices in front-end architecture, including performance, security and usability.

• You’re familiar with product and design life cycles, and collaborating closely with designers, engineers, and product managers.

• You write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers.

• You've worked on front-end teams in the finance or compliance space.

• You have at least 1 year of experience in developing React Native mobile apps or helped move existing native apps to React Native.
