  • Fluency in a modern programming language (Golang, Python, Ruby, Java, C# etc.)
  • Strong experience using and managing AWS, GCP, Azure, or other cloud environment with IaC
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD workflows, automation frameworks, and best practices
  • Clear communication—demonstrate ability to explain technical concepts simply
  • Self starter—possess a continuous learning mindset
  • Demonstrate critical thinking under pressure

Desirable

  • Experience with open source workflows (Temporal) to streamline complex application orchestration
  • Experience with graph databases (Neo4j, Neptune, etc.) is a plus, and able to manage complex data relationships effectively

What the job involves

  • We are looking for an experienced site reliability engineer (SRE) to join the IT Operations Corporate Engineering team to build and scale our identity and access management tooling
  • Engage in a dynamic role that combines traditional operations responsibilities and active contributions to the development and deployment of cloud-native applications, fostering a DevOps culture that emphasizes collaboration and automation
  • Partner across Coinbase to design, implement, and maintain performant, reliable, and secure system architectures
  • Provide corporate IAM and DevOps tooling subject matter expertise to adjacent IT, Security, and Engineering teams
  • Implement automation tooling and scripts to eliminate manual, repetitive tasks and reduce inefficiencies in system operations
  • Create comprehensive documentation and runbooks that detail system configurations, operational procedures, and troubleshooting steps across system lifecycle
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for integrating changes and deploying to production in progressively tested environments
  • Deliver configurations and maintain state using configuration management tools
  • Facilitate incident response, conduct root cause analysis and blameless retrospectives
  • Define metrics and bolster monitoring/observability across corporate IAM systems

Our take

Coinbase allows its users to create their own crypto wallets and start buying or selling cryptocurrencies by connecting with their bank accounts. It also provides a series of merchant payment processing systems and tools that support transactions with many popular websites.

Coinbase has recently made a big push to broaden its services away from consumers and they want to cater services from institutional investors.

Coinbase currently offers one of the largest selection of cryptocurrency assets - over 10,000 but does not allow trading on all of them. The company wisely keeps such offerings to the most stable assets however, the list is always expanding. Coinbase see a much wider adoption of cryptocurrency and tokens in the future, and plan to expand potentially to millions in the future. It speaks volumes to Coinbase's goals of wider global adoption that former UK Finance Minister George Osborne is now an Advisor at the company.

Coinbase's lofty ambitions paid off in it being the first crypto listing on the NASDAQ. The company has weathered several bull and bear runs in the cryptocurrency industry through diversification of its offerings, including wallet-as-a-service technology for crypto platforms, and has acquired healthy coffers of cryptocurrency assets. The aim is to eventually operate independently of the volatility surrounding cryptocurrencies.

  • Repeatable innovation: We are builders, leveraging technology to improve the world, constantly shipping ideas vs just discussing them. We know that companies must continually reinvent themselves to avoid stagnation. We have a high tolerance for failure, investing 10% of our resources in venture bets that are uncomfortably ambitious
