Staff Infrastructure Engineer, Trading

As a Staff Infrastructure Engineer on Coinbase's trading team, you own the infrastructure, deployment, and operational tooling behind a unified trading platform that runs across cloud and on-prem/colocated venues. You'll shape trading infrastructure from the ground up, keeping latency-sensitive, multi-node trading environments fast, reliable, and easy to build on within the Institutional Everything Exchange.

What you'll do

• Own infrastructure, deployment, and operational tooling for latency-sensitive, multi-node trading environments across cloud and on-prem.
• Drive reliability and developer velocity by owning observability, deploy safety, and incident response for systems that run 24/7.
• Set the operational bar through standards, reviews, and automation, and reduce single-point-of-failure risk across the trading stack.
• Partner with engineers building the trading platform to make latency-sensitive systems operable and performant.
• Mentor engineers and build team resilience across a lean, high-impact environment.
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Institutional Markets, and SRE to turn platform needs into a roadmap.

What you bring

• 8+ years of infrastructure, platform, or SRE engineering, with demonstrated ownership of production systems at scale.
• A track record running infrastructure for latency-sensitive trading environments, including on-prem/colocated deployments.
• Deep proficiency with orchestration tooling, containerized and baremetal deployments, and observability/logging tooling.
• Strong Linux performance and networking fundamentals in latency-critical environments.
• Experience delivering end-to-end: scoping, implementation, deploy safety, monitoring, and incident response.
• Experience in a regulated or financial environment where reliability and low-latency performance are critical.
• Ability to utilize 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 $218,025-$256,500 USD, varying by location.
