Coinbase is a platform that facilitates the easy conduct of the digital currency Bitcoin for consumers and merchants.  This includes the buying and selling of Bitcoin, secure storage of Bitcoin in the cloud, and a suite of merchant tools.
We've raised over $30M from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Union Square Ventures and grown from 8 to 33 full time employees this year.
Here are some of the things we're building:
- Storing hundreds of millions of dollars of people's money securely, with the best hackers in the world probing your systems daily
- Integrating fiat money connections into dozens of different countries and providers, the KYC checks that come with this, error handling, race conditions and arbitrage people use to try to abuse it
- Building wallets across many platforms, mobile, web, sms, etc, dealing with offline/online situations, different devices, and cultural UI differences around money
- Using cryptography in novel ways both offline and online, such as our cold storage solution which makes use of key splitting
- Our own custom bitcoin client, which transmits binary data across a distributed system to 100+ peers at any given time, and runs across 15 different servers to accommodate over 1M users now on the platform and will need to scale to 20M users in the next year or two, and implement each new BIP protocol as it is adopted.
