Engineering Manager - Tax Platform
About the role
About Coinbase
At Coinbase, the mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. We're building the emerging onchain platform and with it, the future global financial system.
Our culture is intense and demanding. We seek people passionate about crypto and blockchain technology, eager to make an impact, who relish working with high caliber colleagues and actively seek feedback to level up.
While many roles are remote-first, in-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually, and attendance is expected and fully supported.
The Role
We're hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the Tax Engineering team within the Consumer Product Group. Tax Engineering sits at the intersection of every trade, every payment, and every product Coinbase ships. When a user buys Bitcoin, sells an equity, earns staking rewards, or redeems an Advisor-managed strategy, our systems calculate cost basis, track gain/loss, determine withholding obligations, and produce the reporting that keeps Coinbase compliant across every product line and legal entity globally.
Ownership & Impact
In this role, you will:
- Own the technical roadmap for Tax Engineering, driving the architecture and execution for cost basis tracking, gain/loss calculation, withholding automation, and reporting infrastructure that powers Coinbase's tax compliance at scale
- Lead and grow a high-performing team of 12 engineers (IC4–IC6), coaching them to deliver impact while supporting their career development and fostering a culture of technical excellence and operational rigor
- Build the tax primitives for new products as Coinbase expands into equities, margin, options, and beyond — ensuring our architecture is extensible by design
