Job description

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.

The mission of the Platform Product Group engineers is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to the existence of Coinbase. There are many teams that make up this group which include Product Foundations (i.e. Identity, Payment, Risk, Proofing & Regulatory, Finhub), Machine Learning, Customer Experience, and Infrastructure.

As part of the Identity organization, you will help build a unified, trusted, and secure platform for customer identity, access, and authorization for every Coinbase product and the broader web3 ecosystem. Coinbase is the market-leading crypto platform. Our customers can seamlessly and securely interact with Coinbase’s products and the broader web3 ecosystem.

Identity is a critical and uniquely challenging part of helping Coinbase succeed in creating an open financial system for the world. For web3 to thrive, we need to deliver the security of Finance 1.0 and the ease-of-access of web2. Walking the tightrope between usability and security critical to the success of Coinbase’s expanding product suite and to unlocking access to the web3 ecosystem for the next 1B+ users.

 

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

  • Build and manage both frontend and backend engineers, to guide the development of features, services, and infrastructure across web, mobile, and backend.
  • Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and leadership to understand testing pain points and develop strategy with detailed roadmap. Generate alignment with stakeholders across the company.
  • Develop testing solutions. Measure its effectiveness and adoption. Actively listen to customer feedback and iterate to improve solutions.
  • Be a thoughtful technical voice within the team, aiding in diligent architectural decisions and fostering a culture of high-quality code and engineering processes.
  • Take ownership of the team's processes and services, ensuring SLA adherence.
  • Work closely with our talent organization to identify and recruit exceptional engineers who align with Coinbase's culture and contribute to our products.
  • Coach your direct reports to have a positive impact on the organization and support their career growth.


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

  • At least 10 years of experience in software engineering.
  • At least 4+ years of engineering management experience.
  • Passionate about high-quality code and effective software engineering processes, landing changes to improve them.
  • An execution-focused mindset, capable of navigating through ambiguity and delivering results.
  • Deep customer empathy for the developers as our primary customer stakeholders.
  • Strong verbal and written communication. Able to articulate vision and influence stakeholders across the company.
  • Proven experience landing large initiatives, making an impact across the company that changed the status quo.
  • 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.
  • Coach your direct reports to have a positive impact on the organization and support their career growth.


Nice to haves:

  • Have previous experience at a fast paced, high growth stage internet/software company
  • Prior experience leading a team building consumer facing products.
