Software Engineer, CDP - Payment Acceptance

As a Software Engineer on the CDP Payment Acceptance team at Coinbase, you'll build the stablecoin payment rail powering merchant checkout, subscriptions, and onchain settlement for businesses of all sizes. This team owns the end-to-end payment experience, from merchant-facing checkout components through gRPC orchestration services to onchain settlement workers across multiple EVM chains. You'll ship full-stack features across Go backend and React/Next.js frontend, directly contributing to becoming the most trusted, performant, and widely adopted stablecoin payment rail for global commerce.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end feature delivery across Go backend services and the React/Next.js merchant-facing checkout experience, including gRPC/HTTP APIs, protobuf definitions, database migrations, and TypeScript client integrations
• Build and refine the buyer checkout UI (payment links, embeddable web components, wallet connection flows via WalletConnect, wagmi/viem) with a focus on conversion, accessibility, and performance
• Implement durable, fault-tolerant payment workflows using Temporal for onchain settlement, refunds, and reconciliation against PostgreSQL
• Instrument every change with structured logs, metrics, and Datadog traces, and own on-call rotation for services you ship
• Partner with Product, Design, and engineering teams (CDP, Base, Coinbase Business) to integrate Payment Acceptance into the broader Coinbase developer platform

What you bring

• 3+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience shipping production systems in Go (concurrency, gRPC, testing) and TypeScript/React (hooks, suspense, server components, Next.js)
• Demonstrated experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred), including schema design, migrations, query performance, and transactional correctness
• Proven track record designing APIs (protobuf/gRPC, REST, OpenAPI) and instrumenting production systems with structured observability (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or similar)
• Experience building durable workflow systems (Temporal, Cadence, or Step Functions) or working with EVM blockchains, stablecoins, and onchain payment patterns
• Consistent record of writing clear design docs, PR descriptions, and runbooks that enable cross-team collaboration and operational maturity
• Ability to use generative AI tools responsibly in daily workflows, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and quality

What we offer

• Annual base salary of $152,405-$179,300 USD (varies by location)
• Total compensation may include equity and bonus eligibility
• Benefits including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
• Remote-first work with quarterly in-person working sessions called surges
