Engineering Manager (Blockchain Platform)

Join Coinbase : Engineering Manager for Crypto Wallets

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.

Team Description : The Blockchain Platform team at Coinbase is responsible for operating the infrastructure that powers all crypto verbs supported by Coinbase products - send, receive, stake, bridge, and more. We operate blockchain nodes, indexers, wallets, and a host of other systems that enable Coinbase users to interact with the broader crypto ecosystem. Over the past couple years we've led Coinbase into the broader crypto economy beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum through the integration of L1s, L2s, multichain assets, and verbs beyond send and receive. We've accelerated Coinbase's ability to integrate with network protocols and tokens, unlocking the 250+ assets that are now supported across Coinbase's Retail, Institutional, and on-chain products. But we're not done! The crypto industry moves at breakneck pace, and our teams must continue to demonstrate world class innovation and execution to ensure the entirety of the crypto economy is available for our users in a fast, cheap, and secure way.

We are looking for an engineering manager to lead one of the most critical foundations of Coinbase's crypto infrastructure - our custodial wallets. This includes Nova, Wallace, and Macbeth, which together power transactions across 50+ blockchain networks and every crypto token that moves on / off Coinbase platforms. These wallets form the interface between crypto networks and all products at Coinbase which need to send & receive crypto transactions, including Retail, Exchange, Prime, Custody, and Intx. You will be the owner for this domain, helping us to lead the team and its technical and business strategy, as we aim to build a best in class, scalable, reliable, and secure wallet infrastructure for the company. If you are excited about the mission of unlocking crypto for the masses, embrace big ideas and innovation, and are relentless in tackling hard problems, reach out!
