Coinbase wants 8+ years of software engineering including at least 2 building LLM-powered developer tools, agentic workflows or code automation, deep fluency in Java, Python, Go or similar, hands-on experience with agent frameworks such as LangChain or LangGraph, and a record of shipping tooling used by hundreds of engineers.
