Coinbase Software Engineer interview experience

RemoteCandidate report, summarized by Dataford

I started my Coinbase Software Engineer journey with early-stage screening that was fairly brief, likely centered on fit and a real-world coding task.

Recruiter / initial screening — I had a phone screen where a coding exercise was part of the process and was described as based on a real-life problem, not a purely abstract prompt.
Alternate early screen format — I was also invited for a 30-minute L4 phone screen with uncertainty about the exact focus, suggesting a general readiness test.
Scheduling / platform step — A recruiter outreach came with a Karat.io-style invite, indicating an early structured platform-based assessment path. Outcome: I didn’t receive an outcome here, but the takeaway was to prepare for both
