Payments Platform is at the front door of Coinbase’s financial ecosystem. Our mission is to move old money into crypto and power financial access and payments for the crypto economy globally. As the bridge between the traditional financial world and the crypto economy, we build and operate the fiat on- and off-ramps and payment services that let Coinbase’s customer-facing products deliver reliable, seamless payment processing and connect customer fiat funds into crypto. We’re seeking a deep technical leader to define the engineering vision for Payments, shape architectural cohesion across our global payment rails and funds-flow systems, drive platform-level reliability and cost efficiency, and lead the next evolution of how fiat moves into and out of Coinbase. What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties): - Define and drive the multi‑quarter technical strategy for Payments, spanning rails, orchestration, and transfers, to support new products, geos, and significant growth in payment volume. - Architect and evolve the core Payments platform (rails integrations, routing, and funds-flow services) for high availability, low latency, and cost efficiency at global scale. - Lead end‑to‑end design and rollout of large, cross‑team initiatives (e.g., new global rails, decomp/migrations, resiliency programs), breaking high ambiguity into clear milestones and measurable outcomes. - Set and enforce technical standards for financial correctness across Payments, including idempotency, reconciliation, failure‑mode handling, and auditability for all money‑movement paths. - Partner closely with FinHub, Payments Risk, Regulatory Platform, and Product to design cohesive architectures that balance customer experience, risk controls, compliance, and unit economics. - Provide deep technical mentorship to senior/staff engineers across Payments pods, upleveling system design quality, review rigor, and long‑term maintainability. - Use data and observability signals (e.g., success rates, latency, cost, incident patterns) to identify structural platform gaps and lead systematic reliability and efficiency improvements. - Represent Payments in executive and cross‑org forums, clearly communicating tradeoffs, aligning stakeholders on strategy, and securing buy‑in for high‑impact technical bets. What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): - 10+ years building and operating large‑scale distributed systems in production. - Deep money‑movement architecture experience (PSPs, ISO 20022, routing, double‑entry, high‑volume payment systems) - Deep expertise in backend programming (e.g., Python, Go, Java) and cloud‑native architecture. - Proven track record designing highly available, high‑performance systems. - Ability to anticipate scaling bottlenecks before they occur and take decisive, proactive measures. - Experience leading cross‑functional technical initiatives and mentoring senior engineers. - Commitment to technical excellence, sharing best practices, and fostering a strong engineering culture. - Ability to distill complex technical concepts into clear and actionable solutions. Nice to haves: - Experience designing and operating ledgering or trading systems at large scale. - Strong financial acumen with experience handling accounting data and financial transactions with high precision and reliability. - Experience collaborating closely with finance and accounting teams.

- **Work across the full stack** — data model, API contract, UI, and production behavior — contributing to domains as they move onto the modern stack. - **Recognize bad legacy patterns and don't repeat them** — read the existing Express/MongoDB and Backbone/React layers, understand where they fell short, and apply better practices in new development rather than carrying old habits forward. - **Design for scale within real constraints** — build solutions that scale even when they have to integrate with a rigid legacy system that can't be changed wholesale. - **Build on the modern stack** — NestJS modules (DI, guards, interceptors) and Next.js apps (App Router, server components, typed clients). - **Understand the strangler-fig approach** — how legacy and new run side by side, behind feature flags, with zero data loss and no downtime — and contribute to it without disrupting it. - **Model relational data carefully** — help move money-bearing/transactional data from documents into a normalized SQL schema with real constraints and safe migrations. - **Write tests as a default** — unit, integration, E2E. The suite is what lets the team move fast safely. - **Spot and flag problems** — the flaky test, the N+1, the missing index. Raise them clearly so they get prioritized, and pick them up when it makes sense. - **Use AI tooling efficiently** while understanding and standing behind every line that lands.
