Staff Software Engineer (EAA)
The Customer Administration Engineering (CAE) team within Coinbase's Enterprise Applications and Architecture org builds and operates Control Center, the secure platform powering customer data operations for approximately 7,000 internal users across CX, Compliance, Legal, Global Investigations, and Trust and Risk. As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll be the technical anchor driving Control Center's evolution from a human-specialist UI into a modular, AI-agent-ready operations platform exposing capabilities via MCP for both human and autonomous consumers. You'll lead architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and deliver high-impact platform capabilities at an exciting inflection point for the product.
What you'll do:
- Own the architecture and delivery of foundational platform capabilities including MCP tool registries, AI orchestration layers, risk-based access automation, and the away-team contribution model that enables product groups to build on Control Center safely and at speed.
- Drive Control Center's evolution into an AI-agent-ready, headless operations platform by designing MCP procedure constructs, agentic guardrails, HITL orchestration, and evaluation frameworks for secure autonomous operations.
- Lead technical direction across the team in partnership with the Engineering Manager and Product, authoring TDDs, running design reviews, decomposing complex initiatives into deliverable milestones, and mentoring engineers through code review.
- Build highly reliable, secure distributed backend services, owning SLO definitions, observability instrumentation, incident response, and operational readiness for Tier-1 systems serving thousands of internal users and AI agents.
