Engineering Manager, Coinbase

• 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
• This role is for someone who cares deeply about both engineering craft and user experience, and who can lead a high-performing team working at the intersection of security, performance, and product quality
• 5+ years of engineering management experience, ideally leading frontend or full-stack product teams
• Strong technical fluency in modern frontend development — React, React Native, TypeScript, testing infrastructure, and web performance optimization
• A track record of shipping high-quality, high-traffic user experiences at scale — you sweat the details on quality and user experience, not just delivery speed
• Experience managing cross-functional dependencies and coordinating across backend, design, and product teams to keep complex initiatives moving
• Strong communication skills — able to build alignment across teams, represent your team to leadership, and translate product vision into technical execution
• Demonstrates the ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots (e.g., LibreChat, Gemini, Glean) in daily workflows, continuously learn as tools evolve, and apply human-in-the-loop practices to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and quality
