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. We’re seeking a very specific candidate who is passionate about our mission and believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. This role is for someone 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. 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. Join Coinbase’s Stablecoin Payments team to help build the future of global finance. We're developing the core infrastructure for stablecoin-based payments—enabling fast, secure, and scalable money movement worldwide.

  • Design, build, and maintain backend systems and infrastructure that power stablecoin pay-ins, payouts, deposits, and withdrawals.
  • Serve as the Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for key projects, driving them from design to production with high accountability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including product, design, infrastructure, and compliance—to deliver robust and scalable solutions.
  • Work closely with teams across Coinbase to integrate stablecoin functionality into core products.
  • Help build internal and external APIs that make it easy for businesses and partners to leverage stablecoin-powered money movement.
  • Identify and address performance, scalability, and reliability challenges across systems.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to building a strong, inclusive, and high-performing engineering culture.
  • Stay up to date on the evolving crypto ecosystem, identifying opportunities to improve utility, adoption, and innovation in stablecoin infrastructure.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in software engineering.
  • Proven experience building and operating large-scale backend systems, ideally in fintech, payments, or crypto.
  • Strong proficiency in backend technologies (e.g., Go, Java, or similar) and cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP).
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, and system design.
  • Experience working with crypto or blockchain technologies is a strong plus—but not required.
  • A product-minded approach to engineering—you care about the 'why' behind what you build.
  • Strong ownership mindset with the ability to drive projects end-to-end as a DRI.
  • Collaborative spirit and ability to work cross-functionally with product, design, and engineering teams.
  • Enthusiasm for building foundational technology in a fast-moving, high-impact space.
  • Prior experience working with stablecoins, DeFi protocols, or on-chain payments.
  • Familiarity with smart contract platforms (e.g., Ethereum, Solana, Base) and related developer tools.
  • Contributions to open-source crypto or blockchain projects.
  • Experience building multi-chain or cross-chain applications.
  • Knowledge of regulatory or compliance considerations in crypto payments.
  • Interest in or experience with tokenomics, financial primitives, or digital asset infrastructure.
