Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure - Core Infra Systems
Coinbase
Anywhere in the World
Full Time - Remote
Role Overview
At Coinbase, we are committed to increasing economic freedom through uncompromising dedication to our mission. This is not a place for complacency; it's an environment where you'll be pushed past your perceived limits. If you're ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for "good enough," this role is perfect for you. Coinbase operates as a remote-first company, but we do gather quarterly for in-person working sessions called “surges.”
What You'll Do
- Owning cross-cutting infrastructure initiatives that span the AWS, GCP, and Networking pillars inside Core Infra Systems, driving alignment on standards, tooling, and operational patterns.
- Building and maintaining self-service tooling and paved-road defaults that enable product teams to provision and operate cloud infrastructure safely without deep platform expertise.
- Partnering with Compute, Infra Security, and Routing teams to embed guardrails into infrastructure provisioning, ensuring secure and scalable operations.
Qualifications
- Proven experience as a Senior Software Engineer or similar role.
- Demonstrated expertise in cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP.
- Familiarity with networking principles and infrastructure design patterns.
- Aptitude for developing self-service tooling and opinionated infrastructure solutions.
- Strong collaboration skills to work closely with cross-functional teams.
