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.
We are seeking a seasoned engineer for a new HR technology role within the Future of Work Pillar of the People Success Team. In this role, you'll develop scalable solutions that boost efficiency and advance our ambitious AI strategy, enabling our HR organization to leverage cutting-edge technology as we scale. The ideal candidate is an expert in software development—including system architecture, coding, API integrations, and automated testing, with proven agile experience. Our portfolio spans world-class cloud implementations, custom builds, and strategic AI integrations, and we're looking for someone with a strong technology consulting background who excels at making critical buy vs. build decisions.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Lead the design, development, and delivery of custom HR technology solutions that drive efficiency and support our ambitious AI strategy.
- Collaborate with IT, Enterprise Applications, HR Centers of Excellence, and Engineering teams to gather requirements and define cross-functional HR technology solutions.

- Model user experiences, business processes, system interactions, and data architecture to ensure seamless integration and robust functionality.
- Balance functional and non-functional requirements in designing scalable and resilient solutions.
- Automate processes to create simplified, intuitive experiences within Workday and other HR systems.
- Manage certain vendor relationships, including onboarding, privacy reviews, security audits, and compliance checks.
- Provide ongoing system support, configuration updates, and monitor system metrics to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
- Collaborate with the HR Analytics team to deliver actionable insights and metrics that drive continuous improvement.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- At least 6+ years of experience in software engineering.
- At least 2+ years of engineering management experience.
- Passionate about high-quality code, efficient engineering processes, and innovative conversational AI; leveraging chatbot frameworks, NLP, and NLU to build engaging chat applications.
- Expert in Chrome extension development with advanced JavaScript and modern frameworks; proficient in Chrome Extension APIs, Manifest V3, and robust security practices.
- Adept at applying AI and automation, from ML fundamentals to generative AI and workflow automation, to deliver impactful business insights.
- Experienced agile leader known for technical mentorship, orchestrating microservices, and steering projects that elevate operational excellence.
- Proven track record architecting scalable GCP solutions using serverless computing, cloud databases, and CI/CD pipelines to boost efficiency.
- Execution-focused mindset, adept at navigating ambiguity and delivering results.
- Exceptional communicator with a talent for articulating vision and influencing stakeholders across the organization.
- Demonstrated success in launching large initiatives that transform the status quo.
Nice to haves:
