Senior Software Engineer, Data Engineering Platform

Coinbase is a company dedicated to increasing economic freedom, seeking a Senior Software Engineer for their Data Engineering Platform team. This role involves building software abstractions, maintaining data SDKs, and designing self-service applications to enhance data accessibility for analysts and data scientists.

• Build tooling for data security and observability: access controls across storage and access layers, data quality tracking, dataset cataloging and lineage, usage auditing
• Work cross-functionally: consult upstream teams on structuring their databases to expose good data APIs, and give downstream data scientists well-designed, well-documented data models and metrics
• Convert functional requests from data analysts, ML, and security & compliance into reusable, scalable patterns

Requirements:

• 7+ years experience
• Strong Python or Java backend development skills
• Fluent SQL for ETL/ELT, data quality, and analysis
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake, Databricks, or similar
• General experience working with data systems or data pipelines
• Working knowledge of git, Linux, and Docker
• Airflow, BI, and AI tool experience
