CoinbaseAbout the role
Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) is building the developer tools to bring the world onchain.
Today, onchain development is slow, risky, and painful, even for the most experienced onchain developers. Our goal is to bring a million developers onchain by creating an easy to use and trusted developer experience. We build API and SDK products for developers like wallets, paymaster, staking, stablecoins, onchain data, and more.
We are a small team that moves like a startup at Coinbase, with a fast pace, strong ownership culture, and a relentless commitment to making developers happy.
Onramp and Offramp are the bridge between the fiat and onchain economies. Coinbase Onramp is the easiest way to move money onchain, a key part of onboarding users into crypto and enabling our mission to create an open financial system for the world.
You will be joining a startup team of talented engineers within Coinbase on a mission to build the best rails to move money onchain and offchain. Onramp enables billions of dollars a year to come onchain and you will play a critical role in expanding our product offering. Our customers are some of the most used applications in crypto including Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, Phantom, Block (Bitkey), and Ledger.

Nice to haves:
