Full Job Description
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Stablecoin team within the Developer group, you'll help build and scale Coinbase Custom Stablecoins (CCS), the platform that lets partners launch their own branded, USDC-backed stablecoins on Coinbase's infrastructure.

What you'll do:
  • Own and evolve the smart contracts that mint, burn, and safeguard custom stablecoin supply, shipping changes in a secure and auditable way.
  • Build and scale backend services that power onboarding, issuance, reserve accounting, and rewards distribution.
  • Partner with product, design, and tech leads to turn the stablecoin roadmap into shipped features every quarter.
  • Drive architectural decisions across the backend and smart contract surface, balancing security, scalability, and speed of delivery.
  • Write high-quality, well-tested code and raise the bar for operational excellence across the team.

Required Skills and Experience:
  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including designing, building, and operating production backend services.
  • Experience writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts (Solidity or similar EVM languages) in production, ideally where real economic value was at stake.
  • Comfort owning a service end to end and composing service-oriented architecture at scale.
  • Working knowledge of security and correctness tradeoffs unique to onchain systems - audits, upgradeability, access control, and key management.
  • Familiarity with Golang and onchain fundamentals (Ethereum or similar), with direct experience building DeFi or stablecoin infrastructure preferred.
  • Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
