Senior Software Engineer, Backend - Blockchain Platform (Staking Data)

About Us

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.

The Role

The Coinbase Staking Data Team plays a critical role in supporting Coinbase's staking products by building and maintaining reliable blockchain data pipelines and APIs. The team ensures the accuracy and scalability of staking data, integrates new blockchain assets, and assists in the development of APY boosting technology. By working on complex technical challenges, the team enables seamless staking experiences for both retail and institutional users, contributing to the growth of decentralized finance.

Our core mission is clear: build platform services to empower high quality staking products for our retail and institutional customers. This way, people don't just buy or sell crypto, they earn dividend on crypto, and in the meantime provides security and decentralization for underlying blockchain networks.

It's backing the #3 largest revenue stream at Coinbase ($700M+ ARR) - and the #2 revenue stream that's not market fluctuation dependent.
