Job Description

Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.

The Search & Recommendations Team is a highly ambitious group dedicated to building a recommendations platform that accelerates adoption of ML/AI solutions for personalizing the user experience across the entire Coinbase ecosystem.
Our mission is to democratize access to advanced ML based discovery and personalization solutions by building representation of key entities like users, cryptocurrencies, ENS, NFTs as embeddings, and provide personalized ranking, discovery and recommendations frameworks for all Coinbase teams. As a Machine Learning Platform Engineer on our team, you’ll be driving this transformative shift within the company. You’ll work with state-of-the-art AI and ML models, frameworks, and tools, playing a pivotal role in shaping how people and businesses engage with and benefit from AI in the future.

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

    • Design and develop a centralized platform for all Search&Recommendations use cases at Coinbase.
    • Advocate for and ensure adoption of the platform across teams.
    • Excel at project execution by managing priorities, deadlines, and deliverables, leveraging your technical expertise.
    • Write high-quality, well-tested code to address critical product and business needs.
    • Build scalable, secure systems using modern cloud technologies and industry best practices.
    • Debug complex technical issues to enhance system reliability, scalability, and ease of operation.
    • Review and ensure the security, scalability, and architectural integrity of feature designs across teams.
    • Build pipelines to integrate with third-party vendors and streamline workflows.

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

    • 3+ years of experience in software engineering.
    • Proven expertise in building and maintaining production services, with a strong understanding of micro-services architecture.
    • Experience with streaming and batch data processing pipeline on top of Kafka, Spark, Snowflake or similar technologies.
    • Ability to write high-quality, well-tested code that meets customer needs.
    • Deep understanding of what high-quality code and software engineering processes look like, and the ability to foster an environment that promotes them.
    • Strong technical skills in system design and coding
    • Good high-level grasp of AI/ML concepts like LLMs, GNNs, Deep Learning, Logistic Regression, or Gradient Boosting Trees.
    • Passion for building an open financial system that unites the world.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a preference for open and transparent cultural practices.

Nice to haves:

    • Experience navigating rapid company growth (e.g., from startup to mid-size).
    • Familiarity with Python, GoLang, Docker, Postgres, MongoDB.
    • Background in Search, Recommendations and ML infrastructure is a strong plus.
