Coinbase is hiring a Senior Staff Software Engineer

About the Role

Shape the future of software engineering through AI

We're building an intelligent, AI-first development ecosystem to empower engineers at scale. As a Senior Staff Software Engineer on the Developer Experience team, you'll lead the technical vision for how AI transforms the software development lifecycle. Your work will directly influence how thousands of engineers write, test, and deploy code—making development faster, safer, and more intuitive.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and implement AI-powered systems that automate testing, detect bugs proactively, refactor legacy code, and optimize performance before deployment.
  • Lead the integration of large language models and autonomous agents into core development workflows, redefining how software is built.
  • Ensure AI innovation is grounded in strong engineering fundamentals—collaborating with infrastructure teams to deliver secure, scalable, and high-performing platforms.
  • Build an internal developer platform with a product mindset, treating engineers as users and removing friction from their daily workflows.
  • Define new standards and practices for AI-native engineering, guiding how teams adapt as automation takes on more implementation work.

What We Look For

  • A clear, well-reasoned perspective on how AI will reshape software development, backed by hands-on experience applying LLMs or agents to real engineering challenges.
  • Deep expertise in cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), CI/CD, container orchestration, and modern testing frameworks.
  • Proven ability to lead technical transformation across large engineering organizations, improving productivity at scale.
  • Experience shipping internal AI tools such as coding assistants or autonomous agents used across engineering teams.
  • A commitment to quality—designing automated systems that enable rapid iteration without compromising security or reliability.

Environment & Expectations

This is a high-performance role in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment. You'll work alongside top-tier engineers who value feedback, continuous growth, and solving complex technical challenges. The team operates remotely first but includes required in-person gatherings throughout the year to foster collaboration and alignment.

We value technical depth, product thinking, and the ability to lead through influence. If you're passionate about reimagining engineering workflows with AI—and ready to set the standard for the next generation of development—you’ll thrive here.
