About the job

Are you ready to push the boundaries of your potential?

At Coinbase, we are on a mission to enhance economic freedom worldwide. This ambitious goal requires dedication and excellence as we develop the cutting-edge on-chain platform that will shape the future of the global financial system.

To help us reach our mission, we are looking for an exceptional candidate who is not only passionate about our objectives but also believes in the transformative power of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to revolutionize the financial landscape. We need someone who is excited to make a significant impact, thrives under pressure, and values constructive feedback to continuously improve. Our ideal candidate will embrace the challenge of tackling the most difficult problems facing our company.

Our work culture is intense and may not be suitable for everyone. However, if you aspire to build the future alongside high-performing colleagues who expect the same level of excellence from you, this is the perfect opportunity.

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the Tax Engineering team within the Consumer Product Group. Tax Engineering is crucial to every trade, payment, and product Coinbase offers. Whether a user is purchasing Bitcoin, selling stocks, earning staking rewards, or utilizing an Advisor-managed strategy, our systems are responsible for calculating cost basis, tracking gains and losses, determining withholding obligations, and producing necessary reports to ensure compliance across all product lines and legal entities globally. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will define multi-quarter technical strategies, develop systems with strict correctness and scalability requirements, and set the technical direction for how Coinbase addresses one of the most complex areas in financial services.

Responsibilities and Impact

  • Oversee the architecture and development of real-time and offline systems that calculate, track, and report taxes for cryptocurrency transactions at scale, ensuring accuracy, low latency, and 24/7 availability.
  • Establish multi-quarter technical strategies for the Tax Platform, identifying opportunities to simplify complexity, enhance reliability, and broaden capabilities as Coinbase introduces new asset types and products.
