Engineering Manager (Institutional - Foundations)

Coinbase Engineering Manager

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. You'll be joining the Coinbase Institutional team. Our engineers create and maintain a suite of products catering to institutional customers of all sizes from hedge funds (Coinbase Prime) to experienced individual traders (Coinbase Advanced Trade) and everything in between. Additional Institutional Products include Custody, Commerce, and Exchange. Whether the customer needs are trading, financing, staking, governance, custody or API integrations, Coinbase Institutional has them covered. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to balance the role of an individual contributor while also anchoring new projects, leading technical direction and mentoring other engineers on the team. We highly value individuals with intellectual curiosity and openness. We collaborate across the organization, helping our engineers think big and take risks while building a culture of diversity, positive energy and blameless truth-seeking. Our engineering team leverages a diverse tech stack and our focus is finding smart engineers who've worked on complex projects and we have all the trust you'd be able to pick up whatever tech necessary in the stack.

What You'll Be Doing :

• Lead the engineering teams responsible for building the mission critical systems powering institutional products that shape the crypto landscape.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, product managers, and senior leadership to translate our vision into a tangible roadmap. 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 and operational excellence. Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to ensure successful delivery and operation of complex, distributed systems at scale.
• Coach your direct reports to have a positive impact on the organization and support their career growth.
• 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.
