Today, onchain development is slow, risky, and painful, even for the most 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.

Coinbase Developer Platform and the Dev Portal is the destination for building and integrating web3 solutions, services, and products. We partner with other Coinbase products such as Base, Wallets-as-a-service, Staking, CB Pay, Advanced Trading, Commerce, Exchange so web3 developers can start building their onchain apps in minutes.

The Portal & Services team owns the portal frontend and backend services that make the platform functional, including user onboarding and IAM as well as other non-product specific services such as customer billing or general API key management.

Design, develop, and maintain scalable, secure, and high-performing systems in the CDP Portal primarily using Golang, but sometimes also in TypeScript and React

Contribute to the frontend codebase, maintaining reusable, modular, and well documented frontend components
Participate in code reviews, on-call rotation, and foster a team-wide environment that welcomes constructive feedback to maintain high code quality standards

What we look for in you:

5+ years of experience in full-stack software development, with a strong focus on backend systems
Expertise in languages such as Golang (preferred), C, Rust or Python with familiarity in JavaScript or TypeScript
Experience with databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), caching systems (Redis, Memcached), and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
