All of them were cross-trained to be React Native engineers. Many of them are now working full time in React-land doing product engineering and some of them are working on lower level native infrastructure. We saw very little attrition and have emerged as a stronger, unified client engineering group (across mobile and web).

We did consider Flutter, but (1) we already had a very strong javascript talent base that we wanted to leverage; (2) at the time when we made the decision, Flutter was still relatively early in its lifecycle.

That said, we've spent a lot of time talking with teams using Flutter and we think it's awesome!

Hi all - I support all Retail engineering at Coinbase and was one of the folks who helped shepherd this change through from inception to rollout.

I'm happy to answer any questions that folks have - just thread here, and I'll either answer or pull in our team to give more detail.

Digital currency will bring about more innovation, efficiency, and equality of opportunity in the world by creating an open financial system. We can use this new technology to help good ideas spread faster, reduce the inefficiencies that legacy payment networks impose on the world, and provide access to financial services to several billion people in the developing world.

I've personally been here for 3 years and love it. Tons of autonomy, lots of really challenging problems, and a super mission aligned employee group.

We're particularly interested in folks who are interested in building a world-class Javascript platform across React and React Native. Also, we just went fully remote-first (focus on US-remote hiring for now), so would love to hear from folks who are interested in that!

Tech Stack: Go, Ruby Rails, React (web), Swift (iOS), Kotlin & React Native (Android)

If you're interested in chatting more, feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected]. Looking forward to talking!

jessepollak | 7 years ago | on: Coinbase is launching support for the USDC stablecoin

Personal opinion, not the company: I think it's very cool. I've been watching them since they launched and have been impressed with their consistent progress. I love using it as an example of financial experimentation and success: they launched at the top of the bubble and have been able to keep stability even as crypto has gone through a massive crash! Pretty amazing.

Hi all — head of engineering for the consumer product at Coinbase here (iOS, Android, coinbase.com).

Happy to answer any questions that people have — also, just wanted to make a plug that we're hiring. If you're interested in building an open financial system for the world, shoot me a note at [email protected]. Especially interested in iOS & Android engineers!

Coinbase | Senior Software Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, Security Engineer | San Francisco, London | REMOTE, VISA | coinbase.com

We are hiring engineers to help us create an open financial system for the world. Specifically, I'm hiring both frontend and backend engineers to build Coinbase.com and the APIs that power the Coinbase mobile apps. Come work on digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum every day!

About us:

* We use React, Mobx, Flow, webpack, and styled-components on the frontend.

* Our APIs are currently powered by Rails with a MongoDB backend, but we're investing heavily in decomposing the monolith into services written in statically typed languages.

* We're exploring GraphQL for future APIs and are hiring two people to lead our APIs team.

If you're interested, email me at [email protected]. I'm also more than happy to answer questions on here (about Coinbase in general or the roles).
