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.

The mission of the Platform Product Group engineers is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase. There are many teams that make up this group which include Product Foundations (i.e. Identity, Payment, Risk, Proofing & Regulatory, Finhub), AI Platform, Core Automation, and Infrastructure.

The AI Platform Team is a dynamic and ambitious group focused on building centralized AI infrastructure and acceleration solutions that drive productivity, innovation, and customer impact across Coinbase. Our mission is to accelerate AI adoption, enhance team efficiency, and deliver exceptional customer experiences by embedding growth pods directly within teams across the organization. As a Machine Learning Engineer on our team, you will play a pivotal role in this transformation, leveraging cutting-edge AI models, frameworks, and tools, as well as diverse and extensive data sources—including blockchain data. Your work will focus on lowering the barriers to cryptocurrency adoption while shaping the future of AI-powered interactions. This includes enhancing recommendations, chatbots, and other intelligent features to make our products more intuitive, accessible, and user-friendly.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

  • Apply advanced machine learning techniques, including large language models (LLMs), deep learning, and graph neural networks, to solve complex challenges across the organization.
  • Excel at project execution by managing priorities, deadlines, and deliverables, leveraging your technical expertise.
  • Develop high-quality, well-tested Python code to address critical product and business needs.
  • Design scalable, secure systems using state-of-the-art AI/ML technologies and industry best practices.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues to improve system reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency.
  • Ensure the security, scalability, and architectural integrity of feature designs through thorough reviews across teams.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • 3+ years of experience in machine learning and software engineering.
  • Proven expertise in building, scaling, and maintaining production services, with a strong focus on data processing/machine learning/analytics.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one ML model type, such as LLMs, GNNs, Deep Learning, Logistic Regression, or Gradient Boosting Trees.
  • Proficiency in one or more areas, including data mining, information retrieval, advanced statistics, natural language processing, or computer vision.
  • Ability to write high-quality, well-tested code that effectively addresses customer needs.
  • Passion for building an open financial system that connects the world.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a commitment to open and transparent cultural practices.

Nice to haves:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Mining, Statistics, or a related technical field.
  • Proficiency with GenAI frameworks/tools and technologies such as Apache Airflow, Spark, Flink, Kafka/Kinesis, Snowflake, and Databricks.
  • Familiarity with model interpretability and responsible AI practices.
  • Expertise in data analysis and visualization.
