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.

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.

About the team

Come build the next generation of global business payments built on top of stablecoins. Coinbase is working on multiple zero-to-one products that enable businesses to integrate stablecoins into their financial operations, unlocking instant global payments, streamlining ecommerce checkouts, effortless vendor invoicing, secure treasury management, and much more. Our mission is to update the system for the $100T+ business payments market, and we’re just getting started.

As a Software Engineer, you'll design and scale systems that power business payment workflows like Global Payouts, Payment Links, Invoicing, etc. You’ll lead high-impact projects, integrate new blockchains, and work closely with cross-functional teams to bring stablecoin utility to businesses of all sizes.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Design, build, and scale backend systems that power stablecoin-based business payment workflows, including Global Payouts, Payment Links, Invoicing, and related financial products used by businesses worldwide.
  • Own the end-to-end delivery of well-scoped features and services, from technical design and implementation through launch, monitoring, and continuous iteration in production.
  • Contribute to zero-to-one product development by writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, and by participating in thoughtful code reviews to uphold high engineering standards.
  • Integrate blockchains, payment rails, and internal financial systems to enable fast, secure, and reliable global business payments at scale.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, frontend engineers, designers, and compliance partners to deliver high-quality, user-centric payment experiences that meet real business needs.

What we look for in you:

  • 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong track record of building, shipping, and operating production systems.
  • Experience working on consumer- or business-facing products at scale, with an understanding of reliability, performance, and the impact of engineering decisions on end users.
  • Proven ability to design, build, scale, and maintain backend services, and to compose systems using service-oriented or microservices architectures.
  • Solid foundations in distributed systems, APIs, and data modeling, particularly for transactional, financial, or high-throughput systems.
  • Strong engineering craftsmanship: you write high-quality, well-tested, and maintainable code that balances technical rigor with delivering value to customers.

Nice to Have

  • Experience growing with a company through rapid scale (e.g., startup to mid-size or beyond).
  • Background in fintech, payments, blockchain, or other regulated domains.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
