ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer to join our Stablecoin team at Coinbase. As a remote-first company, we're committed to increasing economic freedom and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in finance. If you're ready to build the future of finance alongside a team of innovators who refuse to settle for "good enough," this is the opportunity for you. Our team is responsible for building and scaling Coinbase Custom Stablecoins (CCS), a platform that lets partners launch their own branded, USDC-backed stablecoins on Coinbase's infrastructure. WHAT YOU'LL DO As a Senior Software Engineer on our Stablecoin team, you'll have a unique opportunity to own and evolve the smart contracts that power issuance, reserves, minting, and burning for our fast-growing roster of partners. Your responsibilities will include: - Owning and shipping changes to the smart contracts that mint, burn, and safeguard custom stablecoin supply in a secure and auditable way. - Building and scaling backend services that power onboarding, issuance, reserve accounting, and rewards distribution. - Partnering with product, design, and tech leads to turn the stablecoin roadmap into shipped features every quarter. - Driving architectural decisions across the backend and smart contract surface, balancing security, scalability, and speed of delivery. - Writing high-quality, well-tested code and raising the bar for operational excellence across the team. WHAT YOU'LL NEED To be successful in this role, you'll need: - 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including designing, building, and operating production backend services. - Experience writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts (Solidity or similar EVM languages) in production, ideally where real economic value was at stake. - Comfort owning a service end to end and composing service-oriented architecture at scale. - Working knowledge of security and correctness tradeoffs unique to onchain systems - audits, upgradeability, access control, and key management. - Familiarity with Golang and onchain fundamentals (Ethereum or similar), with direct experience building DeFi or stablecoin infrastructure preferred. - The ability to utilize generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality. WHY REMOTE At Coinbase, we're committed to being a remote-first company, which means that you'll have the flexibility to work from anywhere while still being part of a collaborative and innovative team. We believe that this approach allows us to attract and retain the best talent from around the world and fosters a culture of creativity, diversity, and inclusion. BENEFITS - Annual base salary range: $186,065 - $218,900 USD. - Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility. - Benefits include medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans.
