Senior Software Engineer, Frontend (Platform - Identity)

As a Senior Software Engineer, Frontend on the Identity Horizontal team within the Platform group at Coinbase, you own the user-facing experiences for login, signup, OAuth, account security, and multi-factor authentication that every Coinbase customer encounters first. This team builds and maintains the frontend surfaces that establish the right level of assurance for every identity, enabling products to ship faster while blocking attackers and satisfying regulators. You lead end-to-end frontend delivery across authentication surfaces, drive the Native vs. Webview architecture strategy, and mentor engineers as the team scales.

What you'll do

• Author and review technical design documents, breaking down ambiguous and complex initiatives into executable plans for the team
• Drive Identity's Native vs. Webview architecture strategy for authentication surfaces, evaluating trade-offs across latency, reliability, and user experience
• Identify and resolve technical debt and code quality issues proactively across the team's codebase, not just your own scope

What you bring

• 5+ years of production frontend engineering experience with React and TypeScript, including independently leading end-to-end delivery of ambiguous and complex projects
• Experience authoring and driving technical design documents through cross-functional review and implementation on at least 2-3 major initiatives
• Demonstrated ability to identify and resolve systemic technical debt across a team's codebase, with measurable improvements to reliability or developer velocity
