Job description

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.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.

Team Description:

The manager of the Client Tooling team will be responsible for overseeing the strategy and execution of improving Coinbase frontend engineer’s developer experience through shared tooling and frontend libraries. The individual will need to be customer focused (internal engineers) and excel at collaborating with the rest of teams within the organization for alignment.

Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will:

• Build and manage engineering teams, to guide the development of features, services, and infrastructure across both web and mobile.
• Coach your direct reports to have a positive impact on the organization and support their career growth.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, product managers, and senior leadership to translate our vision into a tangible roadmap on a quarterly basis. Break down complex projects into smaller pieces and lead the iterative design and implementation process.
• Be a thoughtful technical voice within the team, aiding in diligent architectural decisions and fostering a culture of high-quality code and engineering processes.
• Work closely with our talent organization to identify and recruit exceptional engineers who align with Coinbase's culture and contribute to our products.
• Contribute to and take ownership of processes that drive engineering quality and meet our engineering SLAs.

Requirements:

We are looking for someone with:

• At least 7 years experience in developing web apps and shipping user-facing features with JavaScript and modern, component-based JS frameworks like React
• Familiar with current trends and best practices in front-end architecture, including performance, security and usability
• At least 2 years Engineering Manager experience, managing front-end engineers
• An ability to balance long-term strategic thinking with short-term planning
• 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

Nice to Haves:

• Prior experience leading a Developer Experience/Productivity, Platform, or similar domain team
• Have previous experience at a fast paced, high growth stage internet/software company
• Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services
