Staff Software Engineer, Core AI Infrastructure

You'll join a high-performing team of engineers driving AI transformation at Coinbase as a Senior Software Engineer on the IT Operations team within ESTO. This team builds custom products through full-stack engineering and scales the infrastructure powering Coinbase's AI products, with direct exposure to senior leadership in a fast-paced, incubator-style environment. You'll own the reliability and automation of critical AI infrastructure, ensuring our systems are resilient, observable, and secure at scale.

What you'll do:

Own end-to-end delivery of AI products by building production-grade distributed systems, including serving infrastructure, data pipelines, and deployment orchestration across the full stack throughout the SDLC.

Drive platform adoption by designing clean APIs, abstractions, and developer-facing tooling that enable product teams to integrate AI capabilities without bespoke infrastructure requests.

Partner with engineering and product leadership across Platform and other product groups to align infrastructure requirements, resolve cross-team technical dependencies, and define shared platform contracts.

Shape engineering standards and technical culture by establishing architectural patterns, mentoring engineers, and raising the bar on code quality, observability, and operational excellence.
