<p>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.</p>

<p>As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and build reliable backend services and integrations across source control, CI/CD, policy systems, and developer workflows

You will lead the 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.</p>

<p>We are looking for an experienced backend or platform engineer who has built distributed systems, developer infrastructure, CI/CD integrations, authorization or policy systems, or other high-reliability control planes.

• Experience with Go, GitHub integrations, AWS, Kubernetes, AI-assisted development, or policy-as-code is helpful.</p>

<p>What youll do:</p>

<ul>

<li>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.</li>

<li>Integrate automated review findings, policy and risk assessments, CI results, identity and attestation evidence, and required human judgment into one merge decision.</li>

<li>&nbsp;Build reliable backend services and integrations across GitHub, CI and other Coinbase’s policy systems.</li>

<li>Migrate repositories from fragmented legacy controls to the Unified Merge Gate, with safe rollouts, observable decisions, and clear rollback paths.</li>

<li>Partner with Security, Compliance, Infrastructure, Codeflow, ZTSC, and repository owners to turn control requirements into usable developer workflows.</li>

<li>Measure the effect on human-review volume, time-to-merge, automated merge coverage, decision quality, and escaped defects.</li>

</ul>

<p>Required Skills and Experience:</p>

<ul>

<li>7+ years experience</li>

<li>Strong backend and distributed-systems experience in Go or a comparable language.</li>

<li>Experience designing APIs, durable state, failure recovery, observability, and safe rollout mechanisms.</li>

<li>Experience with CI/CD, source-control integrations, developer infrastructure, or another high-consequence control plane.</li>

<li>Strong security and authorization judgment. The engineer must understand why a technically convenient path may weaken a production gate.</li>

<li>Evidence of leading a cross-team technical project from design through migration and operational ownership.</li>

<li>Hands-on AI fluency. The candidate should know how to use and evaluate AI-assisted engineering workflows rather than discuss them only at a conceptual level.</li>

</ul>
