Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?
At Coinbase, 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.

As an Engineering Manager / Tech Lead on the Finance Analytics Team, you will play a critical role in developing advanced data models, pipelines, and analytics frameworks to drive insights into cash flows, payments, and financial operations.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with Finance, Product, and Engineering teams to build scalable solutions that aggregate and process financial data from multiple sources, including platform transactions, external financial institutions, market data, and internal systems. You will be responsible for leading technical strategy, scaling data infrastructure, and mentoring a high-performing team.

- Develop interactive dashboards and reporting solutions to empower finance teams with data-driven insights.
- Drive initiatives to enhance system reliability, scalability, and performance.
- Mentor and grow the engineering team, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.
- Partner with peers and stakeholders to define and execute roadmaps that can help the function scale.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- 10+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics, or related fields, with 5+ years in a leadership role.
- Expertise in data pipeline development, ETL frameworks, and data modeling.
- Strong proficiency in SQL and experience with Python or other scripting languages.
- Hands-on experience with data orchestration tools (Apache Airflow or equivalent).
- Deep understanding of financial data processing, accounting, and treasury workflows.
- Experience in designing and optimizing data warehouses (Snowflake, Databricks, or similar).
- Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and translate business needs into technical solutions.
- Strong leadership skills with a track record of mentoring engineers and fostering technical excellence.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to haves:
