We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our Networks team to design, implement, and maintain our cloud-base network infrastructure. This team is a part of our Infrastructure org in our Platform Product Group. The mission of the Platform Product Group is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase. 

• Architect, design, deploy, document and manage our Cloud-based network infrastructure. This includes all ingress and egress, both internal and external.
• Implement customer-focused abstractions that simplify and standardize the way we offer our cloud services, topologies and implementations.
• Coding IP tables and software defined networking
• Lead and defend technical decisions providing design justification, coordination, and identifying value and requirements for other teams in the organization.
• Learn and continue to foster an understanding of the long-term needs of our infrastructure.
• Communicate to gather requirements and evangelize the Cloud offerings, and to understand gaps and improvements.
• Produce professional documentation and diagrams to clearly and concisely communicate concepts and architectures to infrastructure colleagues, in addition to our users.
• Manage and assist in the resolution of complicated technical problems and incidents, provide appropriate communication and escalation.
• Support and maintain our current infrastructure offerings to maintain a high level of service and availability to the rest of the organization.
• Develop strong and effective working relationships with the rest of the Infrastructure organization, Security, IT, business partners, stakeholders and vendors
• Keep up to date with current developments and best practices within our domain and make bold and forward-looking recommendations.

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

• At least 5+ years network engineering experience in industry
• Built systems on public cloud providers such as AWS, GCP or Azure
• Showcase strong proficiency within a modern tech stack, like Ruby, Go for languages and gRPC + Protobuf for communication.
• Showcase proficiency with low-level primitives such as IP converged networks, AWS VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct connect, IAM role management and implementation
• Know what high quality code — and software engineering processes — look like and know how to foster an environment that creates them.
• Exhibit our core values: clear communication, positive energy, continuous learning, and efficient execution.
• Flexibility to adapt and pivot in a dynamic and demanding environment where change is the only constant.
• Ability to set priorities and balance multiple deadlines.

Nice to haves: 

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