Expect systems design (availability, consistency, multi-region), debugging production incidents, coding under time pressure, and questions on secure change management for financial infrastructure. Prepare stories of scaling services, reducing toil, and improving reliability SLOs.
Strong fit if you enjoy ownership of foundational platforms at a large public crypto exchange, thrive under reliability pressure, and want remote senior IC impact on systems that move real money—not pure product feature work.
As a Senior Software Engineer on Core Infra Systems at Coinbase, expect ownership of reliability and scale for exchange-critical backends: capacity and failure modes, platform services, observability, and safe change for high-stakes crypto workloads. Days typically mix design reviews, incident/on-call follow-through, and shipping infrastructure that other product teams depend on.
Prioritize distributed systems, Linux networking, CI/CD and deployment safety, metrics/tracing, and cloud or multi-region operations. Crypto-adjacent awareness (custody, latency under load, compliance constraints) helps; no certification list or costs were provided.
