Software Engineer, Frontend (Onchain)

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.

Developer Experience (DevX) is responsible for making sure all engineers at Coinbase build high-quality products while being productive and engaged. We do this by providing infrastructure, libraries, frameworks, and tooling to make it easier and faster to build high quality applications. Within DevX, our Onchain Pod is focused on defining the future of developer experience for onchain developers, both within Coinbase and in the broader crypto ecosystem. We believe that the onchain platform is the most important builder platform since the internet (“online”).

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading the new Onchain Pod and helping define its charter, vision, mission, and roadmap.
• Building and maintaining UI libraries, tooling, and infrastructure systems to support and scale the onchain platform.
• Working with Kubernetes and cloud services to automate and maintain critical blockchain infrastructure.
• Engaging in research and prototyping innovative ideas to enhance the efficiency and scalability of blockchain clients.
• Contributing to open-source projects such as the Geth and Optimism.

What We Look For in You:

• You have at least 3+ years of experience in software engineering.
• Strong React and React Native experience
• Extensive knowledge of semantic HTML and proper use of ARIA.
• Experience with assistive technologies, such as screen readers, voice dictation, and magnification.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience in developing and shipping features for core UI systems – e.g. design systems – or infrastructure systems.
• Contributions to open-source crypto projects, such as OP Stack or other blockchain technologies.
• Experience with Golang, Geth, Foundry, Solidity, or other crypto tools.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes or cloud providers like AWS or GCP.
• Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services
