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.

The Institutional Product Group engineers create and maintain a suite of products catering to institutional customers of all sizes from Hedge Funds (Coinbase Prime) to experienced individual traders (Coinbase Advanced Trade) and everything in between. Additional Products include Prime - Custody Only, Prime Web3 Wallet, Commerce and Exchange. Whether the customer needs are trading, staking, governance, custody, web3 operations, or API integrations, Coinbase Institutional has them covered.

The Onchain Markets team is focused on bringing institutions onchain while solving for the unique challenges that they face—from compliance and custody to settlement and liquidity. We’re seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our small entrepreneurial team focused on building innovative 0-to-1 Onchain Markets products. Operating as a startup within Coinbase, we're combining the agility of a small team with the resources and reach of a global platform. In this role, you’ll contribute to building cutting-edge solutions that span trading, financing, and more, helping to redefine market infrastructure for the institutional world in this new global onchain economy.

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

  • Drive 0-to-1 product development for new Onchain Markets offerings
  • Develop and maintain highly interactive, responsive, and user friendly frontend applications for onchain products
  • Design, develop, and optimize smart contracts using Solidity to enable new onchain products and features
  • Build and integrate backend systems to power the onchain data needs of Onchain Markets products
  • Rapidly prototype new onchain experiences to gain early feedback
  • Troubleshoot and debug complex fullstack issues, ensuring performance, stability, reliability, and security.

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

  • 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience shipping production features, including onchain products
  • Expert in modern JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Next.js
  • Strong Solidity skills with experience deploying production smart contracts
  • Track record building secure, high-performance web applications
  • Deep understanding of blockchain fundamentals and DeFi protocols
  • Experience with backend development and API design
  • Proven ability to balance technical excellence with pragmatic delivery
  • Strong collaboration skills with product, design, and engineering teams

Nice to haves:

  • Experience building or scaling DeFi protocols
  • Contributions to open-source blockchain projects
  • Background in trading systems or financial exchanges
  • Experience with Golang and cloud infrastructure (AWS)
  • Understanding of institutional trading workflows
  • Track record in high-growth crypto or fintech environments
