Details

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

The DeFi Borrow team within the Consumer & Business group empowers customers to unlock liquidity from their crypto assets inside the Coinbase Consumer app. This role owns the end-to-end product experience for crypto-backed borrowing, connecting Coinbase’s centralized platform with onchain lending protocols to deliver simple, secure, and scalable loan flows.

Responsibilities

Own the DeFi Borrow product area end-to-end, from vision and strategy through execution, launch, and ongoing iteration across web and mobile.
Drive the multi-year roadmap for crypto-backed loans, including initial borrow flows, advanced loan management, refinancing, and new product surfaces.
Define OKRs across loan origination, position management, liquidation, and observability workstreams.
Lead cross-functional teams to deliver against product objectives.
Partner with Engineering to ship resilient and scalable borrowing experiences, balancing speed, safety, and reliability across loan workflows, state tracking, and liquidation monitoring.
Collaborate with Risk, Compliance, Legal, and Finance to meet regulatory and controls expectations while preserving a strong customer experience.
Build operational rigor through launch runbooks, on-call preparedness, degraded-UI strategies, and incident playbooks that keep DeFi Borrow reliable during market volatility.

Requirements

5+ years of Product Management experience shipping consumer or prosumer financial products at scale.
Experience with at least one lending, credit, or collateralized product, such as margin, secured loans, or DeFi borrowing.
Ability to define and drive multi-quarter strategy, translate it into roadmaps and experiments, and deliver measurable results against growth and portfolio-health goals.
Familiarity with onchain concepts, smart contracts, and DeFi lending protocols such as Morpho, Aave, and Compound, sufficient to partner effectively with engineers on integrations and loan workflows.
Proven experience using quantitative analysis, including funnels, cohort behavior, and risk/return trade-offs, to inform product decisions.
Ability to simplify complex financial concepts into clear and trustworthy consumer experiences.
Responsible use of generative AI, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and improve workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

The annual base salary range is $180,370–$212,200 USD, excluding equity and bonus. Total compensation may also include equity, bonus eligibility, and medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) benefits.
