Senior Software Engineer, Frontend - Consumer

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people. We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web3 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Finally, we seek people who are excited to learn about and live crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We’re a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.

Ready to #LiveCrypto? Who you are:

• You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there. 
• You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0. 
• You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
• You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
• You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
• You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

Coinbase is seeking experienced frontend engineers to join our team to build out the next generation of crypto-forward products and features. You will help build the next generation of systems to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone across the globe.

The Crypto Advocacy team is focused on building tools to engage Coinbase users and the broader crypto community in order to influence the public policy narrative and get pro-crypto regulations and laws passed. Mobilizing the crypto community is the single most effective way to influence lawmakers and get them to create and pass laws that will ultimately benefit the community and help grow Coinbase’s business. The Legislative action portal built by the team saw massive engagement giving a chance to the crypto community to engage directly with the lawmakers. The engineering team working in close collaboration with the Policy team has an ambitious roadmap with the goal of onboarding a million crypto advocates. This will be achieved by building a number of on-chain and off-chain apps in the ecosystem to engage the crypto community.

• Design and implement highly reliable interfaces to integrate with Coinbase services and blockchains including NFTs using modern tools like React, React Native, Typescript, React Navigation

• Work with engineers, product managers and senior leadership to turn our vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter.
• Add positive energy in every meeting, and make your coworkers feel included in every interaction

What we look for in you:

• You have at least 5 years of experience in software engineering and at least 4 years of experience in developing web apps and shipping user-facing features with JavaScript and modern, component-based JS frameworks like React.

• You’re familiar with current trends and best practices in front-end architecture, including performance, security and usability.
