This role is for a highly experienced front-end specialist with a high-performance mindset. While labeled as "mid-level" in some metadata, the requirements specifically call for a **Staff-level leader** with at least 8 years of experience. You should be an expert in modern JavaScript frameworks and mobile environments, with a proven history of managing low-latency interfaces and mentoring senior engineers. The compensation is competitive, reaching up to **$256,500 base** plus bonus and equity. While the role is "Remote-first," Coinbase emphasizes an intense, high-pressure culture and requires travel for in-person offsites several times a year. This is a high-impact position where you will lead the technical strategy for the "Advanced" trading platform, directly influencing the core business. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 8+ years of experience optimizing complex web and mobile front-ends for speed and rendering performance. * Thrive in "intense" work cultures and enjoy being pushed beyond your comfort zone. * Are "crypto-forward" and have hands-on experience with onchain activity or blockchain technology. * Have a track record of translating high-level product goals into scalable technical roadmaps.
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.
