Senior Software Engineer, Agent Verification
Coinbase · Remote - USA
About this role
**About Coinbase** Coinbase is uncompromising on its mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and that’s on purpose. Coinbase is remote-first (but not remote-only), with quarterly in-person working sessions called **“surges.”** **Role: Agent Verification (Senior Software Engineer)** Agent Verification builds systems that help Coinbase safely ship software in an AI-native development environment. The team develops automated code review, risk and policy evaluation, CI evidence, and merge controls that reduce routine manual work while preserving human judgment for higher-risk changes. As a **Senior Software Engineer**, you’ll design and build reliable backend services and integrations across source control, CI/CD, policy systems, and developer workflows. You’ll lead adoption of a consistent and observable merge path, partner with Security, Compliance, Infrastructure, and product engineering teams, and improve how software changes are reviewed and shipped across Coinbase. **What you’ll do** - Lead the design and delivery of Coinbase’s **Unified Merge Gate**—the system that determines whether a change can merge and explains what remains before it can proceed. - Integrate automated review findings, policy and risk assessments, CI results, identity and attestation evidence, and required human judgment into one merge decision. - Build reliable backend services and integrations across **GitHub**, CI, and other Coinbase policy systems. - Migrate repositories from fragmented legacy controls to the Unified Merge Gate with safe rollouts, observable decisions, and clear rollback paths. - Partner with Security, Compliance, Infrastructure, Codeflow, ZTSC, and repository owners to turn control requirements into usable developer workflows. - Measure impact on human-review volume, time-to-merge, automated merge coverage, decision quality, and escaped defects. **Required Skills & Experience** - **7+ years** experience - Strong backend and distributed-systems experience in **Go** or a comparable language - Experience designing APIs, durable state, failure recovery, observability, and safe rollout mechanisms - Experience with **CI/CD**, source-control integrations, developer infrastructure, or another high-consequence control plane - Strong security and authorization judgment (understand how a technically convenient path can weaken a production gate) - Evidence of leading a cross-team technical project from design through migration and operational ownership - Hands-on AI fluency (know how to use and evaluate AI-assisted engineering workflows) **Pay Transparency (Base Salary Range)** - **$186,065 – $218,900 USD** (excluding equity and bonus) - Total compensation may also include equity, bonus eligibility, and benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k)). **Additional Notes** - **Application limit:** Candidates may submit a maximum of **3 applications within a 6-month period**. - **Equal Opportunity Employer:** Coinbase considers qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or genetic information. Applicants with criminal histories will be considered consistent with applicable laws. - **Accommodations:** If you need a reasonable accommodation, email **accommodations[at]coinbase.com**.
