Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) is building the developer tools to bring the world onchain.
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.
In this role you’d be leading engineering efforts for an experimental agentic payments protocol to unlock the next order of magnitude of economic value on the internet. A strong understanding of blockchain transactions, APIs, and a critical mind of developer experience will be critical. You would lend a hand in developing open standards, own backend APIs, and client SDKs.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties): To be completed by all business teams except Eng.
- Developing open protocols for internet agentic payments
- Collaborating with internal teams to integrate with broader CDP offerings
- Developing server and client libraries that provide world class developer experience
