Senior Software Engineer - Data Platform

About Coinbase

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. We're building the emerging onchain platform and with it, the future global financial system.

About the Role

The Data Platform team builds and operates systems to centralize all of Coinbase's internal and third-party data, making it easy for teams across the company to access, process, and transform that data for analytics, machine learning, and powering end-user experiences. As an engineer on the team you will contribute to the full spectrum of our systems, from managing foundational processing and data storage, to building and maintaining scalable pipelines, to developing frameworks, tools, and internal applications.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, build, and operate foundational data-heavy services: storage (cloud data warehouse, data lake), orchestration (Airflow), batch processing (Spark, SQL), streaming services (Kafka), query federation and caching, time-series db, graph db, and real-time event aggregation stores
• Build and maintain data integration & process SDKs for use by internal services and product teams throughout Coinbase
• Design and build self-service applications to empower users to manage and troubleshoot their own data pipelines running on our platforms
• Design and build services for end-to-end data security and data observability: managing access controls across multiple storage and access layers, tracking data quality, cataloging datasets and their lineage, usage auditing
• Convert functional requests from data analysts, ML, and security & compliance into reusable and scalable patterns

Work Environment

While this role is remote-first, in-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment.
