Coinbase
About this role
Coinbase is the largest listed cryptocurrency exchange in the United States. This role sits on the IT Tooling team inside IT Support and Services, which builds the automation that runs the company's own IT operations. Its in house bot, Ask IT, deflects most company wide IT requests before a human sees them, and the team automates ticket triage, access reviews, onboarding and offboarding so employees experience them as self service. You would own technical domains within that platform, driving design decisions on system structure and integration patterns, leading the most complex automation projects as the technical decision maker, and building shared frameworks that remove single points of failure. The stack is n8n, Airflow, Temporal, Jira, Okta, Slack API and Google Workspace, with Git based development including CI/CD. It is remote within India and partners with regional IT teams across Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas.
Who this is for
What the posting asks for: 5 or more years in IT engineering, automation or systems engineering, with demonstrated ownership of architecture decisions, engineering standards or platform level systems that others build on. Also required are deep expertise building and maintaining complex automations using n8n, Airflow, Temporal, Jira Automation or Workato, paired with strong Git based development workflows including branching, CI/CD and code review, and working knowledge of Okta, Slack API and Google Workspace administration sufficient to design against them.
The real day to day: owning the technical architecture of IT Tooling automations and driving design decisions on system structure, integration patterns and tooling across n8n, Airflow, Temporal and Jira. Establishing architecture standards and code review practices that raise the team's engineering bar. Leading as technical decision maker on the most complex, highest impact automation projects from discovery through production. Partnering with Security, Corporate Engineering and Identity and Access Management to clear technical blockers and representing the team in cross functional architecture discussions. Building shared frameworks and reusable components that reduce single points of failure. Producing architecture documentation and decision records so the team scales without depending on one person. Managing your own workload with high independence, turning loosely scoped problems into production ready specifications.
Location and setup: remote within India. As with Coinbase's other openings, the company states it is remote first but not remote only, and that you should expect quarterly in person working sessions called surges. The team partners with regional IT groups across Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas, so some schedule overlap across time zones is likely.
Honest fit guidance: be clear about what this is. It is internal IT automation engineering, not product engineering, and your users are Coinbase employees. That is a real career distinction and some engineers will not want it. What it offers in exchange is genuine architectural ownership at 5 years, a modern automation stack, and a remote role at a large employer. If you have been doing IT operations and want to move toward platform engineering, this is a credible bridge. If you want to build customer facing product, look at Coinbase's other two openings on today's board instead.
