Coinbase, San Francisco, CA

Hi - I'm Ryan, I'm with Security @ Coinbase. We're trying to make BTC easy to use.

https://coinbase.com/mission

We're building out our security and engineering teams. We are based out of San Francisco, and have remote engineering options. We're a company that cares deeply about our security engineers and how they improve our security every day, and we are looking for more.

We're looking for engineers to build new security features for Coinbase, secure our customers, employees, products and infrastructure from all sorts of threats. We're doing a lot of building, and looking for builders. Today, we're a Rails+AWS shop, with mobile apps and lots more technology being built on the backend. We're also building a culture and a company, so you should care about that stuff too.

We're looking for software engineers, systems engineers, and security engineers... or whatever combination you might be. You should have no problem thinking like a bad guy and be up to date on building defensively. You shouldn't be afraid of an incident and you shouldn't be afraid of getting your hands dirty on new technology.

We've setup some fun tests (On HackerRank) to make sure everyone has a fair shake for an interview (Resumes can only tell us so much anyway) Choose one or more that suits your skillset, have fun, and hope we can talk soon.

We're basically hiring most good generalist software engineers, or engineers with domain knowledge relevant to any of our work (e.g. analytics, scraping, semantic web, machine learning, search, web development, Android development and internals.) Email me at mquander@quixey.com for details or a referral.

We also host the South Bay Less Wrong meetups on Tuesday evenings, so stop by the office and check it out!
