Summary

This role is designed for a seasoned engineering leader with a deep background in **fintech and card products**. You should have at least 7 years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years of people management. Since this position overlooks the lifecycle of a global crypto rewards card, the ideal candidate must be comfortable with high-reliability distributed systems and be willing to remain "hands-on" when technical emergencies or architectural reviews require it. The position offers a strong compensation package ($218k - $256k base) plus equity and bonuses. While the role is **fully remote** within the USA, it prioritizes high-performance "intense" culture and requires occasional travel for in-person offsites. You’ll have the unique opportunity to lead a full-stack team working at the intersection of traditional banking infrastructure and the onchain economy. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have direct experience building or scaling **credit/debit card products** and payment processing. * Thrive in high-pressure, mission-driven environments that emphasize radical feedback. * Are comfortable managing full-stack teams across web, mobile, and backend infrastructure. * Want to build high-availability financial systems that handle real-time global transactions.

Job Description

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](https://www.coinbase.com/mission) 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.

We are looking for an experienced engineering manager to lead the Coinbase Card team within the Consumer Product Group. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the Coinbase Card product from card management to transaction processing. This Coinbase Card allows crypto investors to earn crypto rewards through their daily spending and provide a seamless way to spend crypto currency globally.

What you’ll be doing:

• 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.

• At least 7 years of experience in software engineering.

• At least 2 years of engineering management experience.

• You have experience with Card products and built or worked on such a product at scale.

• 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.

• Strong cross-functional partnership skills.

• Experience working across all parts of the stack.

• Excited about working in a fast-paced environment.

• Excited and motivated about delivering impact to the business.

• Experience with Card products and payments.

• You’ve built financial, high reliability or security systems.
