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.
The Consumer Product Group builds the sustainable engines of growth for Coinbase that bring open financial services to 1 billion people with products like Advanced Trading, Staking, and Coinbase One.

These are real-time applications with high frequency, low latency updates, on the most secure, dockerized infrastructure running in the cloud.
Our team focuses on accelerating the development of high quality products by enabling validation of product behaviors at scale through automated test infrastructure. We are entirely engineering driven, identifying opportunities to build innovative tools and infrastructure to enable developers to test high-fidelity production behaviors during development to enable catching and fixing bugs as early in the development cycle as possible.
