Engineering Manager - Platform - Crypto Data Foundations

Team Description:

Our core mission is clear: to build a scalable crypto data platform that powers all use cases, both internal and external. Our approach is similar to Dune Analytics a $1B+ company and Alchemy a $10B+ company, but tailored for Coinbase with a focus on high-SLA data services, analytics, and insights. 

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

• Own and expand our open-source, industry-leading suite of data availability solutions, ChainStack, to ensure efficient and scalable access. Constantly innovate to become the industry-leading solution. Build and maintain customized solutions for critical customers inside and outside Coinbase.
• 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.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

• At least 7 years of experience in software engineering.
• At least 2 years of engineering management experience.
• You possess a strong understanding of what constitutes high-quality code and effective software engineering processes, creating an environment that fosters these principles.
• An execution-focused mindset, capable of navigating through ambiguity and delivering results.
• An ability to balance long-term strategic thinking with short-term planning.
• Experience in creating, delivering, and operating multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.
• 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.
• Your passion for building an open financial system that brings the world together drives you to excel in this role.

Nice to haves:

• Values: Embody Coinbase values (e.g. Clear communication, Act like an owner, Customer Focus)
• Insistent on high operational excellence.
• Technical: Experienced in large scale high-throughput distributed systems and data pipelines.
• You have experience with Blockchains (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc.).
• Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
