Tax Engineering sits at the intersection of every trade, every payment, and every product Coinbase ships. When a user buys Bitcoin, sells an equity, earns staking rewards, or redeems an Advisor-managed strategy, Tax Engineering is in the critical path, calculating cost basis, tracking gain/loss, determining withholding obligations, and producing compliance reporting across every product line and legal entity globally. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Tax team within the Consumer & Business group, you'll build the extensible primitives that make each new Coinbase launch possible, where scale and accuracy are both non-negotiable.
