Coinbase
Senior Software Engineer, Backend (Core Automation)
Coinbase, Jefferson City, Missouri, United States, 65109
Overview
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. We are seeking a candidate who is passionate about our mission and believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We look for someone eager to leave their mark, who relishes high-caliber collaboration, and who actively seeks feedback to level up. You should be someone who will run toward solving the company’s hardest problems. Our work culture is intense and not for everyone. If you want to build the future alongside others who excel 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 with team and company-wide offsites held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported. About the team
