Why we read it this way (7)
The role is remote-first with quarterly in-person 'surge' sessions; it is not fully remote-only, though Coinbase describes itself as remote-first. Marked remote=true as candidates can work remotely day-to-day.
Java and Golang are listed as interchangeable backend language options ('Java, Golang, or similar'); they are captured as one skill with alternatives rather than two separate entries.
MongoDB and Redis are listed as interchangeable data store examples ('MongoDB or Redis'); captured as one skill with alternatives.
The posting states 'or similar' for both the backend language and data store requirements, meaning the specific tools are interchangeable — but the underlying capability is a hard gate per the Required Skills section.
'Generative AI' is listed as a required skill in the Required Skills section; it is an unusual gate for a software engineering role but is included as stated.
Compensation quoted is base salary only; total compensation also includes equity and bonus eligibility per the posting.
No specific location is listed beyond 'base salary varies by location'; the role is US-based remote-first with no single metro anchor.
