Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom.

Own backend services that move institutional clients from application to first trade, including Unified Business Onboarding, KYC Refresh, and provisioning.

Drive onboarding automation including automated screening, risk scoring, and auto-provisioning so low-risk clients complete onboarding without an ops ticket.

Partner with Product, Compliance, Onboarding Ops, Identity, and Prime product teams to ship onboarding and access controls for new products including FCM, Hudson derivatives, and Prime Custody.

Shape the access-control stack (roles, permissions, policies, and consensus) so complex institutions can operate on Prime without opening a ticket.

Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar through design reviews, incident response, and operational excellence.

Required skills and experience:

5+ years of experience building and maintaining production backend services in a service-oriented architecture.

Production experience with Go (or similar), gRPC/Protobuf, relational data stores, and observability tooling.
