Engineering Manager (Blockchain Platform)

Details

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. The Blockchain Platform team operates the infrastructure that powers all crypto verbs supported by Coinbase products — send, receive, stake, bridge, and more. This role is focused on leading the custodial wallets domain (Nova, Wallace, Macbeth, etc.) to build scalable, reliable, and secure wallet infrastructure used across Retail, Exchange, Prime, Custody, and Intx.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, the company is not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year for team and company-wide offsites; attendance is expected and supported.
