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.

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.

The Developer Security team secures Coinbase's software supply chain and builds automation to find and fix vulnerabilities at scale. We own artifact scanning dependency analysis vulnerability management and security agents that automate remediation across the company. As a Software Engineer on this team you will build and ship features across these systems. You will work with engineers across Coinbase to make security a natural part of how they build software.

  • Improve code quality and address technical debt within your ownership area.
  • Participate in on-call rotations code reviews and incident response.
  • Work with engineers product managers and security partners to deliver on the team's roadmap.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • At least 2 years of experience in software engineering.
  • You have built deployed and maintained production services and understand service-oriented architecture.
  • You write high quality well tested code.
  • You can author technical design documents and break down features into discrete tasks.
  • You actively use modern tooling (including AI-assisted development) to ship faster and learn new domains quickly.
  • You are passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together.

Nice to haves:

  • Experience with security tooling or security-adjacent engineering (e.g. SLSA Sigstore artifact scanning SBOM).
  • Familiarity with Artifactory Xray or similar supply chain security platforms.
  • Experience with Golang Docker Kubernetes Postgres MongoDB gRPC.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP).
  • You have worked at a company during a period of rapid growth.
