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 Consumer Product Group builds the sustainable engines of growth for Coinbase that bring open financial services to 1 billion people with products like Advanced Trading, Staking, and Coinbase One. Consumer product engineers strive to make the Coinbase retail app the easiest-to-use, fastest, and safest experience for everyone across the globe to access and participate in the cryptoeconomy. These are real-time applications with high frequency, low latency updates, on the most secure, dockerized infrastructure running in the cloud.
Our team focuses on accelerating the development of high quality products by enabling validation of product behaviors at scale through automated test infrastructure. We are entirely engineering driven, identifying opportunities to build innovative tools and infrastructure to enable developers to test high-fidelity production behaviors during development to enable catching and fixing bugs as early in the development cycle as possible. We are seeking experienced and dynamic backend Software Engineers to join our Consumer Engineering Test Infrastructure team. This role is pivotal in developing robust, easy-to-use infrastructure that enable engineers to ship high quality products, and establishing a culture of proactive testing within our organization. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing test infrastructure and driving test automation across our services.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Build & Scale Testing Infrastructure – Architect and implement automated testing frameworks from the ground up, enabling teams to validate product behavior faster and more reliably.
- Enable Smart Automation – Define strategies to automate testing at every level—unit, integration, and end-to-end—while seamlessly integrating testing into CI/CD pipelines.
- Leverage AI/ML for Smarter Testing – Explore and implement novel AI/ML techniques to optimize test execution, detect flaky tests, and enable self-healing automation. Use intelligent anomaly detection to improve test coverage and recovery.
- Enhance Developer Productivity – Identify bottlenecks in testing workflows, introduce cutting-edge tools, and create streamlined processes that empower engineers to ship high-quality software with confidence.
- Define and Drive Product Quality Metrics – Establish measurable driver and outcome metrics that track test effectiveness, release stability, and developer efficiency. Work cross-functionally to ensure these metrics influence decision-making and improve product quality across the company.
- Drive Best Practices & Company-Wide Impact – Partner with teams across the entire tech stack to define and implement scalable testing strategies. Your work will directly influence development speed and product quality across the company.
What we look for in you:
- You have at least 5 years of experience in software engineering.
- You’ve designed, built, scaled and maintained production services, and know how to compose a service oriented architecture
- You understand testability of systems, and have a good knowledge of testing methodologies and best practices for functional and non-functional requirements, having used and developed them for widely used products
- You write high quality, well tested code to meet the needs of your customers.
- You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together.
Nice to haves:
- You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from startup to mid-size).
- Experience with growth experiments or A/B testing frameworks.
- You have experience decomposing a large monolith into microservices.
- You’ve worked with Golang, Ruby, Docker, Rails, Postgres, MongoDB or DynamoDB.
- You’ve built financial, high reliability or security systems.
- You have experience with Blockchain technology (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc..)
