Engineering Manager (Institutional - Foundations)

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.

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

• 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 …
