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.
We are looking for an experienced engineering manager to lead the Payments team within the Consumer Product Group. This is an exciting opportunity to develop and enhance the user experience for cryptocurrency payments, including send and receive.
The engineers within the Consumer Product Group strive to make the Coinbase retail app the easiest-to-use and fastest experience for accessing the crypto. In 2023, our goal is to be the #1 self custody wallet measured by MTU’s and download share given that wallet is the future of web3 and of Coinbase. Suite of products include: Coinbase app, advance trade, dapps, and staking.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Build and manage full-stack engineering teams, to guide the development of features, services, and infrastructure across both web and mobile.
- Coach your direct reports to have a positive impact on the organization and support their career growth.
- Collaborate with engineers, designers, product managers, and senior leadership to translate our vision into a tangible roadmap on a quarterly basis. 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 code and engineering processes. Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to ensure successful delivery and operation of multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.
- 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.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- Experience in peer to peer payments.
- Experience in crypto, particularly blockchain networks.
- At least 7 years of experience in software engineering.
- At least 2 years of engineering management experience leading consumer products.
- You possess a strong understanding of what constitutes high-quality code and effective software engineering processes, creating an environment that fosters these principles.
- An execution-focused mindset, capable of navigating through ambiguity and delivering results.
- An ability to balance long-term strategic thinking with short-term planning.
- Experience in creating, delivering, and operating multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.
- 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.
- Your passion for building an open financial system that brings the world together drives you to excel in this role.
Nice to haves:
- Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
