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.

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.

Team

As part of the International Payments team at Coinbase, you will help shape the future of payment integrations in countries around the world.

As a software engineer, you will partner with internal teams and external partners to expand Coinbase's portfolio of fiat onramps and offramps in strategic markets globally. This is an exciting and unique opportunity to be at the foundation of Coinbase's intensified focus on international growth. You will have a direct impact on making Coinbase the best cryptocurrency platform. In this role, you will help create the industry-leading standard for reliable and fast payments in the crypto space.

The International team prides itself on being innovative and customer-centric. It is a high-performing team where you can fuel your passion for building world-class products that ignite cryptocurrency adoption worldwide.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

  • Build high-performance services using Golang and gRPC, creating seamless integrations that elevate Coinbase's customer experience.
  • Champion best practices in design techniques, coding, testing, documentation, monitoring, and alerting.
  • Demonstrate a keen awareness of Coinbase’s platform, development practices, and various technical domains and build upon them to efficiently deliver improvements across multiple teams.
  • Add positive energy in every meeting, and make your coworkers feel included in every interaction.
  • Communicate across the company to technical and non-technical leaders with ease.
  • Deliver high-quality services efficiently within tight timeframes, navigating uncertainties with agility.
  • Work with teams and teammates across multiple time zones.

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

  • 3+ years of experience as a software engineer and 1+ years building backend services using Golang and gRPC.
  • Be a self-starter, executing complex solutions with minimal guidance while ensuring efficiency and scalability.
  • Proven experience integrating with third-party applications or APIs using Golang.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, Datadog, or similar cloud infrastructure tools.
  • Working knowledge with event-driven architectures (Kafka, MQ, etc.) and Hands-on experience in SQL or NoSQL databases.
  • Good Understanding of gRPC, GraphQL, ETL pipelines, and modern development practices.

Nice to haves:

  • Working experience in software development with a focus on payment integration.
  • Experience with payment gateway APIs and third-party payment services.
  • Experience in AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub Actions or similar.
  • Experience with rate limiters, caching, metrics, logging, debugging.
