📋 Description

• Define and own the technical strategy for test infrastructure across all of Coinbase engineering — with speed of feedback as the primary design constraint. • Build and operate core Developer Infrastructure - Test services: test execution orchestration, smart test selection, parallel sharding, flaky-test detection and suppression, and test result storage and analysis. • Relentlessly reduce the time between "code written" and "test results in hand" — every minute saved on test feedback compounds across thousands of engineers and PRs per day. • Drive flakiness rate down so that test signals are trustworthy by default and engineers never waste time re-running or second-guessing results. • Own your systems end to end — SLOs, observability, on-call — with zero tolerance for correctness issues. • Partner closely with engineering teams across Coinbase (your customers) to understand where test infrastructure is slowing them down and fix it. • Mentor engineers across Developer Infrastructure - Test and DevInfra, set technical standards that scale beyond your direct work, and shape how the org approaches test infrastructure problems.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years building and operating production software, with strong fundamentals in distributed systems and a primary language like Go (or similar). • Demonstrated track record of defining and delivering technical strategy for foundational systems — not just shipping features, but setting direction that other teams depend on. • Deep, hands-on experience in test infrastructure: test execution at scale, flaky-test detection, test selection, sharding, or test result analysis. • Strong operational instincts — you care about reliability, security, and observability, and your systems reflect that. • A track record of driving complex, cross-team technical projects to completion — influencing direction and timelines without needing direct authority over the people involved. • A customer-focused mindset: you measure success by the impact your systems have on the engineers who depend on them. • Demonstrates the ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots (e.g., LibreChat, Gemini, Glean) in daily workflows, continuously learn as tools evolve, and apply human‑in‑the‑loop practices to deliver business‑ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and quality.

• Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility • benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k))
