Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.

Coinbase is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to join our Trading team to build and scale the core systems that power crypto trading at Coinbase.  From Simple Trade for everyday users to Advanced Trade for professionals, to Derivatives and Decentralized (DEX) trading, we’re building a seamless and secure trading experience for everyone. This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of crypto, trading infrastructure, and consumer product — tackling exciting engineering challenges while contributing directly to Coinbase’s core business.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

  • Build and manage full-stack engineering teams, to guide the development of features, services, and infrastructure across both web and mobile.
  • Coach your direct reports to have a positive impact on the organization and support their career growth.
  • Collaborate with engineers, designers, product managers, and senior leadership to translate our vision into a tangible roadmap on a quarterly basis. Break down complex projects into smaller pieces and lead the iterative design and implementation process.
  • Be a thoughtful technical voice within the team, aiding in diligent architectural decisions and fostering a culture of high-quality code and engineering processes. Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to ensure successful delivery and operation of multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.
  • Work closely with our talent organization to identify and recruit exceptional engineers who align with Coinbase's culture and contribute to our products.
  • Contribute to and take ownership of processes that drive engineering quality and meet our engineering SLAs.
  • Power highly performant, highly available systems for traders worldwide
  • Architect robust systems that are easy to build on top of supporting many instrument types (Spot, Futures, Perpetual Futures, and more)
  • Work in tight collaboration with product and design to articulate a best-in-class product experience
  • Translate your best ideas into tangible, high value features our customers love

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • At least 7 years of experience in software engineering,  especially with web-scale traffic
  • At least 2 years of engineering management experience.
  • You possess a strong understanding of what constitutes high-quality code and effective software engineering processes, creating an environment that fosters these principles.
  • An execution-focused mindset, capable of navigating through ambiguity and delivering results.
  • An ability to balance long-term strategic thinking with short-term planning.
  • Experience in creating, delivering, and operating multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.
  • You can be hands-on when needed – whether that’s writing/reviewing code or technical documents, participating in on-call rotations and leading incidents, or triaging/troubleshooting bugs.
  • Your passion for building an open financial system that brings the world together drives you to excel in this role.
  • You’ve designed, built, scaled, and maintained production services as they evolve over time
  • You have a high bar for product excellence, pairing customer obsession with comprehensive observability
  • You take pride in being up-to-date with the latest industry standards and best practices

Nice to haves:

  • You’ve worked on active trading systems or other similar high availability financial systems
  • You actively trade crypto or other financial instruments
  • You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from startup to mid-size).
  • You have experience upgrading significant parts of legacy systems, or re-architecting next-generation versions of existing systems
  • You’ve worked with Golang, MongoDB, Redis before
  • Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
