What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

• Design, build, and operate our foundational data-heavy services: storage (cloud data warehouse, data lake), orchestration (Airflow), batch processing (Spark, SQL), streaming services (Kafka), query federation and caching, time-series db, graph db, and real-time event aggregation stores.
• Build and maintain data integration & process SDKs for use by internal services and product teams throughout Coinbase.
• Design and build self-service applications to empower our users to manage and troubleshoot their own data pipelines running on our platforms.
• Design and build services for end-to-end data security and data observability: managing access controls across multiple storage and access layers, tracking data quality, cataloging datasets and their lineage, usage auditing.
• Convert functional requests from data analysts, ML, and security & compliance into reusable and scalable patterns; and assemble data microservices into data platforms for critical business verticals and user cohorts.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

• You have at least 5+ years of experience in software engineering.
• You have Strong Python, Go, or Java backend development skills.
• You have general experience working with data systems or data pipelines.
• You are familiar with design patterns such as scale-out, caching, key/value, and columnar.
• You leverage SQL, Python, Airflow, and BI expertise to analyze data for operational insights.

Nice to Have:

• Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services
