## Description

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Coinbase Advisor team within the Consumer & Business group. Coinbase Advisor is the world's first RIA-licensed agentic trading system: an AI advisor living inside the Coinbase app that holds a natural conversation about a user's portfolio, gives personalized financial advice, and executes trades on their behalf. This role is primarily backend on a full-stack team. You'll own the services that make agentic trading feel fast, clear, and trustworthy for millions of customers.

What you'll do:

 * Own backend services powering Coinbase Advisor and Strategies, from technical design through launch and ongoing operation
 * Build integrations with Coinbase's trading APIs so agent recommendations and user-configured strategies translate into correct, auditable execution
 * Develop our agentic harness, including tool calling, orchestration, persistent state, and recovery from failed or partially completed actions
 * Shape agent behavior through prompt engineering, evals, and conversation analysis, partnering with our registered investment adviser on changes to financial advice
 * Improve service reliability, latency, observability, and execution safety, including retry behavior and safeguards against duplicate actions
 * Partner with frontend engineering, product, design, trading infrastructure, and legal/compliance to ship customer-facing capabilities within regulatory guardrails
