Engineering Manager, Blockchain Platform Asset Data Team

Details

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.

Many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, but 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 Information

The Asset Data Platform collects, normalizes, and serves asset metadata, real-time prices, and historical data at massive scale—ensuring customers see accurate, up-to-the-second information whether they are trading on Coinbase Exchange, exploring DeFi with Coinbase Wallet (TBA), or monitoring their portfolio performance. The platform powers hundreds of services at Coinbase and runs under extreme scale and scrutiny—every millisecond of accuracy and uptime matters.

Joining the team means leading engineers who solve hard problems in distributed systems, scalability, and operational excellence while directly shaping the foundation of the global crypto economy.
