About this role

&lt;div class=&quot;content-intro&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.coinbase.com/?utm_campaign=mt_o_m_w_m_m__coi_0_jd-onchain&amp;amp;utm_source=coinbase&quot;&gt;Coinbase&lt;/a&gt;, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and we like it that way. This isn&#39;t a place for complacency, it’s a place to be pushed past your perceived limits. If you&#39;re ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for &quot;good enough,&quot; you belong here. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.coinbase.com/careers&quot;&gt;learn more about working at Coinbase&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;mb-2 whitespace-pre-wrap&quot;&gt;As a Senior Software Engineer on the Stablecoin team within the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.coinbase.com/careers/product-groups&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Developer&lt;/a&gt; group, you&#39;ll help build and scale Coinbase Custom Stablecoins (CCS), the platform that lets partners launch their own branded, USDC-backed stablecoins on Coinbase&#39;s infrastructure. This role sits at the intersection of backend engineering and smart contract development - you&#39;ll own the services and onchain contracts that power issuance, reserves, minting and burning, and rewards distribution for a fast-growing roster of partners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-2 whitespace-pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you&#39;ll do:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Own and evolve the smart contracts that mint, burn, and safeguard custom stablecoin supply, shipping changes in a secure and auditable way.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Build and scale backend services that power onboarding, issuance, reserve accounting, and rewards distribution.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Partner with product, design, and tech leads to turn the stablecoin roadmap into shipped features every quarter.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drive architectural decisions across the backend and smart contract surface, balancing security, scalability, and speed of delivery.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Write high-quality, well-tested code and raise the bar for operational excellence across the team.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;mb-2 whitespace-pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required Skills and Experience:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;5+ years of experience in software engineering, including designing, building, and operating production backend services.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts (Solidity or similar EVM languages) in production, ideally where real economic value was at stake.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Comfort owning a service end to end and composing service-oriented architecture at scale.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Working knowledge of security and correctness tradeoffs unique to onchain systems - audits, upgradeability, access control, and key management.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Familiarity with Golang and onchain fundamentals (Ethereum or similar), with direct experience building DeFi or stablecoin infrastructure preferred.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.&lt;/li&gt;
