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.
The Portal & Services team owns the portal frontend, CDP documentation site, and backend services that make the platform functional, including user onboarding and team management as well as other non-product specific services such API key management and customer billing.
What you’ll be doing:
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable, secure, and high-performing systems in the CDP Portal using Golang, TypeScript, and React
- Lead the implementation of new features, improvements, and integrations to drive the growth and success of the CDP Portal
- Design and develop secure, reliable, and well-documented service APIs for internal and external consumption
- Troubleshoot and debug complex issues, ensuring platform stability, reliability, and security
- Champion and advocate for excellent developer tooling standards in the portal, within the team, and across the organization
- 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:
- 3+ years of experience in full-stack software development, with a strong focus on frontend systems
- Expertise in JavaScript or TypeScript with some familiarity in backend programming languages such as Golang (preferred), C, Rust or Python
- Experience with React and state management libraries like Redux
- Experience with databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB), caching systems (Redis, Memcached), and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and event-driven architectures
- Comprehensive knowledge of RESTful API design principles and experience with API development, integration and authentication protocols like OAuth and JWT
- Familiarity with AWS and containerization using Kubernetes
- Understanding of web security best practices and experience with implementing secure coding practices for financial systems
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work closely with designers and product managers
- Passion for great developer tooling and opinions on what makes developer platforms excellent
- Passion for Onchain/Web3 and understanding of blockchain technologies, particularly Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
