Senior Machine Learning Platform Engineer (Platform)

Job Description

Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of? At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system. To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate.

Continually raise our engineering standards to maintain high-availability and low-latency for our ML inference infrastructure that runs both predictive ML models and LLMs. Optimize low latency streaming pipelines to give our ML models the freshest and highest quality data. Evangelize state-of-the-art practices on building high-performance distributed training jobs that process large volumes of data. Build tooling to observe the quality of data going into our models and to detect degradations impacting model performance.
