Job description

At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom worldwide. The Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) builds crypto infrastructure at scale for businesses globally. The Payments Infrastructure team powers this volume by delivering a unified, intent-based money movement layer across any asset, any payment rail, and any geography.

As the Product Manager for Payments Infrastructure, you will own the product strategy and execution roadmap behind CDP's payment volume growth. You will manage smart routing across fiat and crypto payment rails, instant funding products supported by risk-underwritten credit, global fiat geographical expansion, asset diversification beyond stablecoins, and ledgering/settlement architecture. Operating in an API-first developer environment, you will work directly with enterprise clients, engineering leads, risk teams, and legal counsel to turn regulatory and compliance constraints into seamless developer surfaces.

Key Responsibilities

• Payments Infrastructure Roadmap: Own the end-to-end Payments Infrastructure roadmap—covering transaction routing across fiat and crypto rails, payment method integrations, automated risk/compliance checks, ledgering, settlement, and 24/7 observability tooling.
• Instant Funding Stack Execution: Ship instant funding products across payment rails by leveraging risk-underwritten credit mechanisms to deliver real-time user experiences where standard settlement rails lag.
• Global Fiat & Asset Expansion: Drive geographical market expansion by onboarding new fiat payment rails and expanding supported digital assets beyond stablecoins.
• API-First Product Design: Architect enterprise developer APIs, developer documentation standards, and SDK primitives that enable external software teams to integrate CDP money movement layers effortlessly.
• Enterprise Client Onboarding: Partner directly with enterprise customers and internal GTM teams to translate roadmap capabilities into active, high-volume production implementations.
• Risk, Compliance & Legal Integration: Collaborate cross-functionally with legal, risk, and compliance partners to integrate regulatory frameworks directly into product surfaces without introducing developer friction.

Requirements

Product Management & Payments Infrastructure Depth

• 5+ years of dedicated product management experience shipping payments, money movement, or fintech infrastructure products at production scale.
• Fiat & Crypto Rail Literacy: Demonstrated technical proficiency in fiat payment rails (ACH, FedNow, RTP, SEPA, SWIFT), with a deep understanding of multi-entry double-entry ledgering and clearing/settlement mechanisms.
• API-First Developer Products: Proven track record of shipping developer-facing API products, with the technical depth required to evaluate architectural trade-offs alongside engineering leads.
• Regulatory & Risk Navigation: Demonstrated capability operating within complex financial compliance, AML/KYC, risk underwriting, and legal constraints—turning regulatory requirements into clean product workflows.
• Data-Driven Execution: Ability to define and track metrics around payment success rates, routing efficiency, API latency, and volume growth.

Total Rewards & Benefits

• Compensation & Equity: Annual base salary range of $180,370 – $212,200 USD + Coinbase equity grants + annual performance bonus eligibility.
• Healthcare & Wellbeing: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance packages.
• Retirement & Financial: 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching.
• Surge Culture & Connection: Dedicated travel budget and accommodations provided for quarterly in-person team "surges."
