Software Engineer, Backend - Blockchain Platform; Staking Platform

Position: Software Engineer, Backend - Blockchain Platform (Staking Platform)

About the Role

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—someone passionate about our mission and the power of crypto and blockchain technology to transform the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high‑caliber colleagues, actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up, and who will run toward, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our 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.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote‑first, 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.

Staking Platform

Our core mission is to build platform services that empower high‑quality staking products for our retail and institutional customers. This way people don’t just buy/sell crypto—they “earn dividends” on crypto, and in the meantime provide security and decentralization for underlying blockchain networks.

It’s backing the #3 largest revenue stream at Coinbase ($700M+ ARR) and the #2 revenue stream that’s not market‑fluctuation dependent.

This team’s responsibility is to understand deep context across multiple top staking protocols and translate complex operations and state machines into simple and straightforward APIs for product teams at Coinbase.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with teams across the company on integrations with our services
• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to maintain high code quality standards
• Troubleshoot and debug complicated problems

Requirements

• You have at least 2+ years of experience in software engineering
• Familiarity with GoLang and/or Ruby is a plus
• You’ve designed, built, scaled and maintained production services, and know how to compose a service‑oriented architecture
• Experience with decomposing large software systems is a plus
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work closely with other team members and stakeholders
• You write high‑quality, well‑tested code to meet the needs of your customers
• You have a strong attention to detail
• You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together

Nice to Haves

• Crypto background
• Experience with Solana data, indexing, and/or scaling large systems
• You have crypto‑forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain‑based services
