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.

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.

Coinbase is seeking aspiring backend engineers to join our team to build out the next generation of crypto-forward products and features. You will solve unique, large scale, highly complex technical problems, bridging the constraints posed by web-scale applications and blockchain technology. You will help build the next generation of systems to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone across the globe, operating real-time applications with high frequency, low latency updates, and managing the most secure, dockerized infrastructure running in the cloud.

The Consumer Product Group engineers strive to make the Coinbase retail app the easiest-to-use and fastest experience for accessing the crypto. Wallet is the future of web3 and of Coinbase. Suite of products include: Coinbase app, advance trade, dapps, and staking.

Join Coinbase's Country Expansion team to influence the future of cryptocurrency adoption in the UK. Collaborate with the Country Director, Product Managers, and cross-functional teams to customize the Coinbase app, tailoring it to the UK market and strategically shaping Coinbase's presence through innovative features and a customer-first approach.

What you'll be doing:

  • You will write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers
  • You will execute scoped technical tasks end-to-end to help Coinbase fulfill its mission to increase economic freedom in the world
  • You will independently take ownership over the completion and quality of your tasks and projects
  • Show bias for action, and data-driven decisions to experiment new solutions as fast as possible
  • You will be collaborating with the Country Manager, other engineers, product managers and designers at Coinbase

What we look for in you:

  • You have graduated university with internship and industry experience
  • You write high quality, well tested code
  • You build resilient and scalable micro-services
  • You’re excited about tackling complex problems and getting things done
  • You have experience executing technical tasks and projects end-to-end
  • You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together.
  • You're an excellent written and verbal communicator in English 
  • This role is required to be in the UK

Nice to haves:

  • You have at least 1+ years of experience with Golang, Protobuff, GRPC, GraphQL, MongoDB, Docker, Ruby on Rails.
  • You’ve worked on engineering teams in the finance space
  • You are passionate about blockchain technology and a power user of crypto exchange applications or dapps
