Coinbase
Overview
Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) is building the developer tools to bring the world onchain. Today, onchain development is slow, risky, and painful, even for experienced onchain developers. Our goal is to bring a million developers onchain by creating an easy to use and trusted developer experience. We build API and SDK products for developers like wallets, paymaster, staking, stablecoins, onchain data, and more. We are a small team that moves like a startup at Coinbase, with a fast pace, strong ownership culture, and a relentless commitment to making developers happy. The CDP APIs are designed to be the easiest way for developers to start building crypto applications, encapsulating internal Coinbase services to enable onboarding with minimal friction. The CDP API team owns both server-side APIs and client-side libraries across languages and seeks a full-stack engineer who cares about excellent developer experiences, including clear documentation, compelling sample applications, direct customer feedback, and simple, ergonomic SDKs. The team operates across frontend and backend codebases and values high velocity with quality. What youll be doing: Design, develop, and maintain scalable, secure, and high-performance backend systems for the CDP APIs using Go and JavaScript
Define and maintain clean and conformant HTTP REST API definitions using OpenAPI specifications
Design, develop, and maintain ergonomic, open-source SDKs to interact with the CDP APIs using Ruby, TypeScript, Go, Python, and Java
Author, publish, and maintain clear and concise documentation, including quickstart and how-to guides, to increase adoption of the CDP APIs and SDKs
Develop secure and scalable key management systems, packaged as Docker images, to enable crypto wallet functionality across custodial configurations (e.g., self-custodial MPC)
Work closely with many different teams at Coinbase to externalize their backend services through the CDP APIs, ensuring consistency of concepts, style, and design
Interface directly with customers to collect their feedback and iteratively improve the CDP APIs and SDKs
Build compelling sample applications end-to-end using the CDP APIs and SDKs to demonstrate their value and pressure-test the developer experience
Troubleshoot and debug complex fullstack issues, ensuring stability, reliability, and security
Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to maintain high code quality standards
Qualifications
5+ years of experience in both backend and frontend software development
Mastery of Go and JavaScript; experience with Ruby, TypeScript, Python, and Java is a plus
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with an eye for detail and a passion for clear, comprehensive developer documentation
Strong understanding of crypto wallets, including key management, cryptography, and blockchain protocols (e.g. EVM)
Proven track record of designing, developing, and shipping high-quality, ergonomic client-side libraries and SDKs
Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and event-driven architectures
Experience with databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB) and caching systems (Redis, Memcached)
Solid knowledge of RESTful API design principles and experience with API development and integration
Familiarity with AWS and containerization technologies like Kubernetes
Understanding of security best practices and experience with implementing secure coding practices for financial systems
Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services
