Senior Manager, Analytics Engineering

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.

The Analytics Engineering team is part of the Data Engineering organization, whose mission is to build reliable and trusted data sources and tools that enable timely and accurate data-driven decision-making. Sitting at the intersection of data engineering, data science, and business analytics, our team transforms raw data into actionable insights through solid pipelines, scalable data models, and intuitive tools. By prioritizing data quality, reliability, and usability, we make sure stakeholders can trust and leverage data to drive real business impact.
