The mission of the Platform Product Group engineers is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase. There are many teams that make up this group which include Product Foundations (i.e. Identity, Payment, Risk, Proofing & Regulatory, Finhub), Machine Learning, Customer Experience, and Infrastructure.

What you'll be doing:

• Work to support new and existing blockchain networks on our platform. This means containerizing, YAML templating, and otherwise writing code that facilitates different networks running on our Kubernetes based platform every day
• Onboard protocols with complex topology onto our platform with full nodes & archival support and perming all necessary machine fitting
• Build reporting features for protocols that allow the end user to query aggregate validator activity for any time period
• Research complex topics around specific blockchain networks including consensus algorithms, economic models, and node/network topologies.
• Contribute to blockchain network and node production support discussions. We are looking for a strong technical leader that can help drive and own support for multiple networks.
• Participate in the overall blockchain network community. Join third party discussions and become a contributor to the development of new and existing networks.
• Contribute to our CI/CD pipelines, integration and performance testing that help to automate the deployment of blockchain network infrastructure
• Incorporate monitoring, alerting, and observability to support our customers blockchain networks in production that allow us to maintain the highest standards of health, reliability and uptime.
• Participate in on call rotations and when necessary facilitate incident response, triaging and mitigation steps
• Develop systems to prevent regressions for a major feature or system (e.g. GBS sync stalling or falling behind to the point where they’d impact recovery time)
• Make sure that the team's protocols are performing at or above the network average and initiative proactive machine fitting to identify and improve performance bottlenecks
• Support our Customer Success (CX) and Customer Advocacy (CA) teams to improve the experience of customers interacting with our blockchain networks via knowledge sharing, documentation improvements, etc.

What we look for in you:

• 3-5+ years of infrastructure or back-end engineering experience
• Strong technical design ability, informed by broad experience across multiple domains/specialties
• Leadership experience in building and maintaining large-scale distributed systems in production
• Self-motivated and with a proven track record of shipping quality products
• Analytical mindset with the ability to use qualitative and quantitative data to inform decision making
• Strong desire to build something meaningful in a groundbreaking, entrepreneurial environment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to haves:

• While a degree in CS is nice, you don't need one--or any other kind of degree--to work here. Some of the best people come from non-traditional backgrounds and disciplines, and we’re dedicated to supporting our employees’ education and growth.
• Familiarity with any of the primary tech stacks we work with: Go, Kubernetes, Helm, Docker, Terraform and AWS/GCP.
