Partner closely with engineering teams across Coinbase (your customers) to understand pain points and turn them into platform improvements
Lead technical design for ambitious, cross-cutting projects and see them through to production
Act as a force multiplier by mentoring engineers and shaping the technical direction of the platform

5+ years building and operating production software, with strong fundamentals in distributed systems and a primary language like Go (or similar)
A track record of shipping high-impact backend or platform systems that other engineers or services depend on, with strong ownership from design through production
