Staff Product Designer - Advanced Trade

Details

Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and we like it that way. This isn't a place for complacency — it’s a place to be pushed past your perceived limits. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for in-person working sessions called “surges.”

As a Staff Product Designer on the Advanced Trade team within the Consumer & Business group, you'll shape the future of Coinbase's most sophisticated trading experiences and give millions of traders the speed, confidence, and control they expect from a best-in-class platform. You'll join a distributed design team working across desktop and mobile surfaces, from portfolio and charting to derivatives, spot margin, and other high-complexity workflows. In this role, you'll lead zero-to-one initiatives, drive high-impact improvements, and raise the overall quality and craft of the Advanced Trading experience.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end product design for key Advanced Trade experiences across web and mobile, from discovery and concepting through prototyping, specs, iteration, and launch quality.
• Lead high-ambiguity, zero-to-one and improvement initiatives across advanced trading surfaces, including derivatives, spot margin, structured products, portfolio, and modular UI evolution.
• Design scalable frameworks, patterns, and information architecture for complex, data-dense workflows so advanced traders can move with clarity in high-stakes moments.
• Raise the craft and quality bar across the Advanced Trading product surface, bringing UI and interaction quality to what best-in-class industry products deliver.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Research, and cross-functional peers to define problems, evaluate tradeoffs, and ship thoughtful, high-impact work.
• Coach and uplevel junior designers, contribute strong opinions across the design org, and extend your impact beyond a single project or feature area.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience designing digital products, including meaningful time in complex, data-dense, workflow-heavy, or tools-oriented environments.
• Track record of operating autonomously with limited oversight in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, with demonstrated end-to-end product design range from concept through launch.
• Proven ability to lead through influence, shape direction, and coach less experienced designers without formal management responsibility.
• Demonstrated proficiency in Figma and modern prototyping workflows, with a portfolio showing visual design, interaction design, and systems thinking at a high level of craft.
• Effective cross-functional communication with Product and Engineering partners, with a track record of navigating tradeoffs and aligning stakeholders on complex, collaborative work.
• Responsible use of generative AI to improve workflow efficiency, cost, and quality while maintaining human oversight.
