Senior Software Engineer, Backend (institutional - Trading Derivatives)

Join Coinbase's Institutional Product Group

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 Institutional Product Group engineers create and maintain a suite of products catering to institutional customers of all sizes from hedge funds (Coinbase Prime) to experienced individual traders (Coinbase Advanced Trade) and everything in between. Additional products include Prime - Custody Only, Prime Web3 Wallet, Commerce and Exchange. Whether the customer needs are trading, staking, governance, custody, web3 operations, or API integrations, Coinbase Institutional has them covered. The Institutional Trading Derivatives team enables derivatives trading for Coinbase retail and institutional customers both in the US and internationally. The team built the end-to-end trading platform and owns derivatives lifecycle workflows including execution, risk management, and settlement & clearing. We have exciting strategic new product offerings on the roadmap and are looking for a motivated senior engineer who can help us lead the product development.
