Job Description
Our vision is to bring more innovation, efficiency, and equality of opportunity to the world by building an open financial system. Our first step on that journey is making digital currency accessible and usable for everyone. Two principles guide our efforts:
-
Be the most trusted company in our domain
-
Create user-focused products that are easy and delightful to use
The Infrastructure Team takes both of those principles to heart. Securing and protecting billions of dollars of crypto assets is no laughing matter, and all the tools we build have security top of mind. However, we also want to make sure our customers (other engineers at Coinbase) have a set of tools that make deploying and running services a delight. We’re constantly iterating on ways to bake security into tools that are simple and empower engineers.
We're seeking engineers to help expand our deployment pipeline, making it more reliable, secure, and easier to use. You'll create new tools, refactor old tools to take advantage of new technologies, and help automate all the manual tasks. If you're a self-starter with a desire to to work across the stack in multiple languages while scaling our cloud infrastructure to support Coinbase’s rapid growth, then this opportunity is for you.
Responsibilities:
-
Create, refactor and maintain self-service tooling for engineers to create, deploy, scale and monitor production infrastructure
-
Work closely with other teams to understand their needs, and devise scalable solutions that make their lives easier
-
Build automation into existing systems to eliminate toil and operations work
-
Continue making our systems more secure by providing secure defaults and guardrails
-
Write great documentation, or create tools so easy to use that documentation is unnecessary
-
Balance security and usability with novel approaches to isolation and access
-
Participate in on-call rotation and incident response
-
Seek opportunities to open source components of our stack
Requirements:
-
Experience building and maintaining large-scale production systems
-
Experience with backend development
-
Passionate about secure systems
-
Excited about building proven, scalable infrastructure
-
Willing to share knowledge and best practices with others, both inside and outside Coinbase
Nice to Haves:
-
Frontend experience with React or desire to learn
-
Application Security background
-
Familiarity with Docker and AWS
-
Ruby and Go experience
-
Prior experience publishing or maintaining open source projects
What to Send:
-
Links to your GitHub/Stack Overflow or something awesome that you've built
-
A resume or LinkedIn profile
We’re building the most secure deployment pipeline around, and are excited to talk to you!
