Senior Software Engineer, Stablecoins

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Stablecoin team at Coinbase, 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. This role sits at the intersection of backend engineering and smart contract development, and you'll own the services and onchain contracts that power issuance, reserves, minting and burning, and rewards distribution for a fast-growing roster of partners.

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

What you bring

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, including designing, building, and operating production backend services
• Experience writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts in 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, including audits, upgradeability, access control, and key management
• Familiarity with Golang and onchain fundamentals such as Ethereum, with direct experience building DeFi or stablecoin infrastructure preferred
• Ability to use generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality

What we offer

• Annual base salary of $186,065-$218,900 USD, varying by location
• Equity and bonus eligibility
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401(k) plan
• Remote-first work with quarterly in-person working sessions called "surges"
