We're hiring a Senior Staff Software Engineer to join the Blockchain Platform team withinhttps://www.coinbase.com/careers/product-groups) and define the technical vision for the infrastructure that connects every Coinbase product to the broader crypto economy. This team builds and operates the nodes, indexers, wallets, and orchestration systems that power every core crypto action (send, receive, stake, bridge, wrap, and more across 60+ blockchain networks and 300+ tokens.

 * Represent Blockchain Platform in executive and cross-org forums, communicating tradeoffs, aligning stakeholders on strategy, and securing buy-in for high-impact technical bets in areas like Yield and Stablecoins.
