Prove you can own a developer infrastructure service end to end at scale, not just use one

Interview prep for a Senior Software Engineer role on Coinbase's Developer Infrastructure group, building and operating the CI, build systems, deployment orchestration, and test infrastructure that every Coinbase engineer relies on. Expect deep technical questions on distributed systems fundamentals, Go proficiency, and full-lifecycle ownership (architecture, observability, SLOs, on-call) of platform services running on Kubernetes/AWS/GitHub Actions/Terraform. Strong answers show measurable impact on engineering productivity metrics like build/CI time and deploy safety.
