Senior Software Engineer, Frontend (Consumer - Trading)

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.

Coinbase is seeking Senior Frontend engineers to join our Trading team to build and scale the core systems that power crypto trading at Coinbase. From Simple Trade for everyday users to Advanced Trade for professionals, to Derivatives and Decentralized (DEX) trading, we’re building a seamless and secure trading experience for everyone. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of crypto, trading infrastructure, and consumer product — tackling exciting engineering challenges while contributing directly to Coinbase’s core business.

What you'll be doing:

• Build engaging, dynamic, and intuitive interfaces for real-time price analysis, order execution, and trading data visualization to help traders worldwide make informed trading decisions.
• Work in tight collaboration with engineers, product, and design to articulate a best-in-class product experience.
• Translate your best ideas into tangible, high-value trading features our customers love.
• Work with engineers, product managers and senior leadership to turn our vision into a tangible roadmap every quarter.

What we look for in you:

• You have at least 5 years of experience in developing web and/or mobile apps and shipping user-facing features with React, JavaScript, and Typescript.
• You’ve led and landed meaningful projects and are seen as a subject matter expert on your team 
• You've developed and shipped user-facing features using component-based UI frameworks.
• You’re familiar with product and design lifecycles, and collaborating closely with designers, engineers, and product managers.
• You write high-quality, well-tested, extensible code.
• You take pride in being up-to-date with the latest industry standards and best practices in frontend architecture.
• You are proactive, have a growth-mindset, and empower and cultivate your teammates. 

Nice to haves:

• You have experience launching new products from 0 to 1 at scale.
• You’ve worked on active trading systems or other similar high-availability financial systems.
• You actively trade crypto or other financial instruments.
• You have at least 1 year of experience in developing production-grade React Native mobile apps.
• You have experience with GraphQL and/or Relay. 
• You have a track record of delivering smooth, responsive user experiences by optimizing application performance and reducing latency in critical user flows.
• Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.

Please be advised that each candidate may submit a maximum of four applications within any 30-day period. We encourage you to carefully evaluate how your skills and interests align with Coinbase's roles before applying.
