Engineering Manager (Platform – Wallets Liquidity and Bridging)

30 April 2025

Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

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.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

Team Description:

This is a unique opportunity to reimagine and implement how Coinbase interfaces with high throughput blockchains, serving millions of daily users. The Wallets umbrella enables Coinbase users globally to interface with 60+ blockchains. Our backend systems have already powered billions of crypto addresses and requests. Our team is continuing to develop new ways to scale for the next billion.

At a high level, the liquidity and bridging team owns the set of services that orchestrates all of the liquidity movements that power the sends and receives for Coinbase’s custodial products. These large scale orchestration systems help drive sub-second liquidity across all networks at all times while ensuring security, compliance and cost efficiency.

Come work with a team of brilliant and passionate engineers on building the next generation of Wallet products!

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

  • Identify and drive long-term vision and strategy of the liquidity and bridging platform, aligning engineering goals with company objectives.
  • Partner closely with numerous cross-functional partners to define roadmap priorities and translate business needs into technical execution.
  • Drive engineering execution, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality, scalable, and secure systems.
  • Lead and mentor engineering team – fostering career growth, technical excellence, and high engagement.
  • Foster a collaborative engineering culture emphasizing ownership

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • At least 7 years of experience in software engineering.
  • At least 2 years of engineering management experience.
  • You possess a strong understanding of what constitutes high-quality code and effective software engineering processes, creating an environment that fosters these principles.
  • An execution-focused mindset, capable of navigating through ambiguity and delivering results.
  • An ability to balance long-term strategic thinking with short-term planning.
  • Experience in creating, delivering, and operating multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.
  • You can be hands-on when needed – whether that’s writing/reviewing code or technical documents, participating in on-call rotations and leading incidents, or triaging/troubleshooting bugs.
  • Your passion for building an open financial system that brings the world together drives you to excel in this role.

Nice to haves:

  • Values: Embody Coinbase values (e.g. Clear communication, Act like an owner, Customer focus).
  • Insistent on high operational excellence.
  • Technical: Experienced in large scale high-throughput distributed systems and data pipelines.
  • You have experience with Blockchains (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc.).
  • Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
