Staff Software Engineer, Fullstack (Onchain Payments)

Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead their new Onchain Payments initiative. This role represents a unique opportunity to shape the future of payment systems by leveraging crypto technology. As the lead engineer, you'll be responsible for bringing a revolutionary 0-to-1 product to life while also managing aspects of the existing Coinbase Commerce product.

The position combines the excitement of a startup environment with the resources and stability of Coinbase. You'll be working at the intersection of traditional finance and cryptocurrency, building systems that aim to replace conventional payment rails with crypto-based solutions. This represents a multi-billion dollar opportunity for Coinbase to disrupt the payments industry.

The role requires a unique blend of technical expertise across the full stack - from frontend development with modern frameworks like React and Next.js, to backend systems in Go and TypeScript, and blockchain development with Solidity. You'll be working with cutting-edge technologies including smart contracts, EVM-compatible chains, and distributed systems.

As a technical leader, you'll not only architect and develop solutions but also guide the team's technical direction, mentor other engineers, and work closely with product managers and designers to find product-market fit. The position offers the chance to make a significant impact on both the crypto and payments industries while working with some of the most advanced blockchain technologies.

The compensation package is highly competitive, ranging from $218,025 to $256,500 USD, plus additional benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), target bonus, and equity. This is a remote position based in the USA, offering the flexibility of working from anywhere while being part of a team that's reshaping the future of financial technology.

The ideal candidate will bring both deep technical expertise and strong leadership skills, with the ability to navigate complex technical challenges while driving the team toward ambitious goals. If you're passionate about cryptocurrency, payments, and building developer-focused products that can change how the world handles transactions, this role offers an exceptional opportunity to make a lasting impact.
