Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?
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.
The mission of the Platform Product Group engineers is to build a trusted, scalable and compliant platform to operate with speed, efficiency and quality. Our teams build and maintain the platforms critical to our existence. There are many teams that make up this group which include Product Foundations (i.e. Identity, Payment, Risk, Proofing & Regulatory, Finhub), Machine Learning, Customer Experience, and Infrastructure.
The vision of the Developer Experience org within Infrastructure is to make Coinbase the most enjoyable place in the world for developers to rapidly build and ship quality products. We aim to create experiences where velocity and product quality is high, and developers feel a sense of joy using our products and services every single day.
We are looking for a seasoned Engineering Manager to lead a brand-new team, the Test Experience team. The team is responsible for developing solutions that enable our engineers to test software throughout the software development lifecycle with the goal of improving our code quality and reducing regression for our users.
