Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.” learn more about working at Coinbase.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Platform Core Automation team, you'll build the AI infrastructure and agentic systems that automate customer support and compliance operations at Coinbase. This team is reimagining what these processes look like when AI handles them end-to-end, replacing manual workflows with intelligent agents that resolve customer issues and execute compliance tasks autonomously. You'll own the design and delivery of LLM-powered systems, grounding techniques, and integration pipelines that directly reduce resolution times, cut costs, and improve accuracy across millions of customer interactions.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

Own the design and delivery of agentic AI systems that power Coinbase's customer support and compliance automation, from LLM orchestration through production deployment and monitoring.

Build scalable, secure backend infrastructure in Python and Golang that serves AI workloads, including model integration pipelines, guardrails, grounding mechanisms, and measurement frameworks.

Drive end-to-end project execution on complex AI initiatives, making technical trade-offs across latency, accuracy, cost, and reliability.

Partner with Customer Experience, Compliance, and product engineering teams to identify high-impact automation opportunities and translate operational pain points into AI-powered solutions.

Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Identity Verification
As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer on the Identity Verification team within the Platform group, you'll own the ML systems that determine whether a person, document, and capture session are legitimate. Every signup, account recovery, and high-risk action at Coinbase depends on these models. You'll lead the technical strategy for IDV ML end-to-end, from architecture through production enforcement, protecting the integrity of millions of accounts.

What you'll do:

Own the full IDV ML stack, including document authenticity models, 1:1 and 1:N face-match, liveness detection, presentation-attack detection, and deepfake/injection detection from feature pipeline through threshold tuning and production enforcement.

Build identity-graph systems using GNNs that cluster accounts sharing biometric, device, and document signals to detect synthetic-identity rings and coordinated fraud at onboarding.

Develop behavioral and device-intelligence models for capture-session anomaly detection, bot-vs-human classification, and device-fingerprint-based risk scoring at real-time latency.

Drive vendor ML strategy by benchmarking external models against a Coinbase-owned evaluation set, designing dynamic routing logic across providers and geographies, and building the in-house evaluation layer that catches regressions before they reach users.
