Coinbase CEO aims to recruit DOGE experts to enhance the worldwide financial system.

Coinbase’s CEO, Brian Armstrong, has publicly invited employees from the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to consider job opportunities at the cryptocurrency exchange once they leave their current positions.

Armstrong shared this announcement on social media on May 14, framing it as a chance for public servants who are eager to make impactful changes on a larger scale.

In his message, he stated, “This is an open call for any DOGE staff. If you are looking for your next mission after serving your country, consider helping create a more efficient financial system for the world at Coinbase.”

He referred to a specific portal titled “Done with DOGE?” where current DOGE employees can apply and narrate their experiences.

Armstrong emphasized that this form would simplify the application process for those departing DOGE, acknowledging their valuable contributions to the federal effort.

DOGE was initiated in early 2025 through an executive order by President Donald Trump, with the goal of enhancing efficiency in federal operations and reducing redundancies among various agencies.

Under the leadership of Elon Musk, the department captured national interest through its innovative cost-saving strategies and tech-oriented management approach. Its operations are slated to wind down by July 4, 2026.

However, Musk is limited to 130 days of service as a “special government employee” each year and plans to decrease his involvement starting this month. Consequently, some DOGE staff are anticipated to leave their positions around the same time.

Armstrong’s invitation comes at a time when DOGE is receiving increased public scrutiny, particularly following a Fox News interview featuring DOGE staff member Ethan Shaotran, who left Harvard due to social backlash for his work with the department.

While the future impact of DOGE continues to be a topic of discussion, Armstrong’s outreach positions Coinbase as an attractive option for outgoing government professionals, especially those focused on innovation, efficiency, and large-scale changes.

Recently, the exchange achieved a milestone by becoming the first cryptocurrency company included in the S&P 500 index, signaling the acceptance of digital assets in the mainstream financial sector.
