What is CoinDesk Media Engineering?
We are responsible for the architecture, development, and optimisation of coindesk.com, the CoinDesk app, and the services behind both, ensuring millions of readers worldwide get seamless access to news, data, and multimedia content.
We're looking for a senior engineer with strong, hands-on expertise across modern web and mobile, who can take real ownership of functionality and drive it forward.
If you enjoy working in a small, flat, dedicated team, are pragmatic, and like the challenge of taking a real system and making it better, faster, more fun to build on, you'll fit right in.
What you'll do
- Ship features end-to-end across the website, the app and the services layer.
- Own your work from scoping with product/design through shipping, monitoring, and ensuring production is safe, secure, and robust.
- Work directly with product managers, designers, we're a small, direct team.
- Use AI coding tools as a default part of how you build, not a novelty.
