Engineering Manager (Platform - Identity)

About the Role

We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the Identity Accounts team — the platform foundation that powers every user, organization, and account at Coinbase. This is one of the most visible and business-critical engineering platforms at the company: your team's services handle authentication, authorization, security settings, and account management for millions of customers across every Coinbase product.

You'll manage engineers across three sub-teams (Foundations, Users Platformization, and Settings & Account Management), drive roadmap execution in close partnership with your Tech Lead and Product Manager, and represent the team to 20+ internal product groups and key partners in Security, Risk, Compliance, and Design.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead and grow a team of engineers across backend, frontend, and site reliability — building a high-performing team through hiring, coaching, and career development.
• Drive roadmap execution across three focused sub-teams: Foundations (authorization infrastructure), Users Platformization (decomposing the legacy monolith), and Settings & Account Management (Security Settings 2.0, account navigation redesign).
• Own reliability and operational excellence for 8+ mission-critical Tier-0/Tier-1 services — maintaining 99.99% uptime.

About Coinbase

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. We're building the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

We're seeking candidates passionate about our mission and who believe 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.

Our 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.

Work Arrangement

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.
