Armstrong announced the move in a social media post on May 14, where he described the opportunity as a new mission for public servants seeking to continue improving systems at scale.
He wrote:
“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.”
The message links to a dedicated portal titled “Done with DOGE?” where current DOGE employees can submit applications and share their experiences.
Armstrong said the form will expedite the application process for former DOGE staff in recognition of their contributions to the federal initiative.
Armstrong’s invitation arrives amid renewed public attention on DOGE. It follows a widely circulated Fox News interview featuring DOGE staff member Ethan Shaotran, who dropped out of Harvard after being ostracized for working at the department.
While the long-term legacy of DOGE remains subject to public debate, Armstrong’s outreach positions Coinbase as a landing zone for departing government talent, particularly those aligned with disruption, efficiency, and large-scale systems innovation.
