Engineering Manager

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.

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.

Join the International Payments team at Coinbase and help shape the future of payment integrations in countries worldwide.

The International team is known for its innovative and customer-centric approach. You will have the chance to fuel your passion for building world-class products that promote cryptocurrency adoption globally. Our team enables users across the globe to deposit and withdraw funds from their Coinbase accounts. By identifying and integrating with leading payment providers, you will directly influence crypto accessibility worldwide.

As the Engineering Manager for the team, you will partner with internal teams and external partners to expand Coinbase's portfolio of fiat onramps and offramps in strategic markets. This is a unique opportunity to be at the core of Coinbase's intensified focus on international market expansion. You will directly contribute to making Coinbase the leading cryptocurrency platform by setting industry standards for reliable and fast payments. You will oversee 7-8 engineers based in the APAC timezone, managing people and projects while directly contributing to the implementation of these payment rails. You will collaborate closely with International Product Managers and work with Payments Platform, Finhub, Risk, and Finance teams to build safe and trusted payment integrations.

Our teams use a mix of industry-standard technologies such as Golang, Python, and React, alongside our internal Payments Platform, to deliver solutions supporting billions of dollars in transaction volume. Our primary customers are retail Coinbase users outside the US, and our work ensures they can deposit and withdraw funds quickly and reliably.

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):

- At least 7 years of experience in software engineering.
- At least 2 years of engineering management experience.
- 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.
