Coinbase is hiring a frontend engineer to build internal tools that Coinbase engineers use every day. This is “make builders faster” work: the Internal Developer Platform (IDP), a developer hub, and the UI that ties together release pipelines, config management, asset management, service docs, and quality metrics.
