Software Engineer Intern

Join Coinbase as a Software Engineer Intern

Are you ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of? At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

About the Role

Coinbase is seeking software engineer interns to join our team to build out the next generation of crypto-forward products and features. You will solve unique, large scale, highly complex technical problems, bridging the constraints posed by web-scale applications and blockchain technology. You will help build the next generation of systems to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone across the globe, operating real-time applications with high frequency, low latency updates, and managing the most secure, dockerized infrastructure running in the cloud.

Responsibilities

• Write high quality, well-tested code to meet the needs of your customers.
• Work on projects with engineers, designers, product managers, and senior leadership to help turn our product and technical vision into a tangible roadmap.

What We Look For

• Have programming experience (in a class, for fun, at a job) -- most of our systems are written in Golang, JavaScript, and Ruby but experience with any is not a strict requirement.
• Enjoy thinking about how people interact with products and building experiences that users love.
• Self-motivated and committed to personal growth.
• Approach problems with positive energy.
