Senior Product Designer - Consumer Onchain

Details

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. We are building the emerging onchain platform and the future global financial system. We seek a candidate who is passionate about crypto and blockchain, eager to make an impact, and comfortable working with high-caliber colleagues in an intense, feedback-driven culture. Many roles at Coinbase are remote-first but not remote-only; in-person participation is required throughout the year for team and company offsites and other events.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end design vision for Coinbase’s DeFi products, working from early concept through final implementation.
• Lead strategic design efforts to simplify and humanize crypto-native experiences.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, and researchers to shape and ship product experiences that feel effortless even when technically complex.
• Create and iterate on design flows, prototypes, and UI systems that communicate trust, safety, and clarity.
• Use design critiques and feedback to continuously raise the bar on craft and product thinking.

Requirements

• 5+ years of product design experience, including time spent leading or owning significant product surfaces.
• Exceptional ability to reduce complexity and make technical systems feel intuitive.
• Track record of launching successful products in fintech, DeFi, or similarly complex domains.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and confident leading through it.
• Skilled in Figma and prototyping tools, with the ability to explore and communicate ideas quickly.
• Collaborative mindset — you listen, iterate, and elevate the team around you.
• Passion for crypto and curiosity about how it can redefine access, ownership, and finance.

Nice to haves

• Experience designing for crypto, DeFi, or financial services — especially around borrowing, lending, wallets, or onchain activity.
• Ability to advocate for both power users and newcomers.
• Familiarity with Ethereum, ENS, dApps, and onchain data and transactions.

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay Range: $180,300 — $212,200 USD (target annual salary; full-time offers also include target bonus, target equity, and benefits such as medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)).
• Benefits include medical, dental and vision plans, HSA contributions, disability and life insurance, 401(k) match, wellness stipend, mobile/internet reimbursement, connections stipend, volunteer time off, fertility counseling and benefits, generous time off/leave policy, and the option to get paid in digital currency.
