Engineering Manager - Platform (FinHub - Financial Intelligence)

Details

Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Employees are expected to meet quarterly for in-person working sessions called “surges.”

As an Engineering Manager on the FINT (Financial Intelligence) team within FinHub in the Platform group, you will lead the engineers building the account and transaction history infrastructure that underpins every Coinbase product. FINT owns the universal account primitive, the real-time transaction history engine, and the internal developer experience platform for FinHub. You will guide the team through re-architecting these foundational systems for the next decade of scale while enabling new financial products such as sub-accounts, retirement accounts, and agentic trading experiences.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a team of six engineers across multiple levels, coaching them on technical excellence, career development, and organizational impact.
• Drive the re-architecture of core account and history systems to support new product primitives and higher throughput demands.
• Own the FinHub Tools roadmap, building internal UIs, dashboards, and agentic workflows that accelerate engineering and operations teams.
• Shape architectural decisions across distributed systems, streaming pipelines, and full-stack tooling.
• Foster a culture of high-quality code and thorough design reviews.
• Collaborate with product, finance, and engineering leadership to define and execute a quarterly roadmap.
• Break complex infrastructure projects into iterative, shippable milestones.
• Partner with the talent organization to recruit exceptional engineers.
• Own engineering quality processes, including SLA accountability, incident response, and on-call practices.

Requirements

• At least seven years of software engineering experience, including at least two years of engineering management experience with responsibility for hiring, coaching, and developing engineers.
• Proven track record delivering and operating distributed systems at scale in production, with hands-on ability to review code, lead incidents, and triage issues when needed.
• Demonstrated success translating ambiguous, long-horizon technical problems into concrete execution plans with measurable milestones.
• Experience with financial systems, event-driven architectures, or high-precision transaction processing where correctness and reliability are critical.
• Comfort leading teams with diverse scope, including backend services, streaming pipelines, and full-stack tooling, with an appreciation for developer and operator experience.
• Ability to use generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight while delivering business-ready outputs and measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

The annual base salary range, excluding equity and bonus, is $218,025–$256,500 USD. Total compensation may also include equity, bonus eligibility, and medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) benefits.
