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.
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.
Team/ Role
Staking is the #3 revenue-generating products at Coinbase ($700M+ ARR in 2024). The Staking Platform team builds platform services to empower high quality staking products for our retail and institutional customers. This way, people don’t just buy / sell crypto, they “earn” on crypto, and in the meantime provide security and decentralization for underlying blockchain networks. We design the interface that abstracts blockchain complexities into simple and easy-to-use platform APIs for all our product teams at Coinbase. We must be at the forefront of crypto, operating blockchains at scale, designing new products and solving hard engineering problems to make the latest staking technologies accessible to people around the world. We take on challenging problems in user experience, security and blockchain technology.
On the Staking Platform team, you’ll be tasked with learning about new blockchains and technologies, and enabling new utilities through existing and new products for our users. You’ll work with leadership to turn ideas into reliable products and infrastructure for Coinbase.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Own a product area and define long-term strategy for areas such as Staking Protocol Integrations & infrastructure, International expansion and support
- Develop products & services for internal and external developer audiences.
- Own managing the addition of multiple assets including network launches and staking support across Consumer and Insto products.
- Own product management of public-facing developer tools and communities managed by Staking Platform team
- Research and stay ahead of new and upcoming technology in the crypto space, and build relationships with key community members.
- Drive adoption of staking and crypto-first product features, working closely with partners on product teams.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- Minimum of 5+ years experience in product management or elsewhere in a similar capacity (product-minded engineer or entrepreneur).
- You’re familiar with the crypto ecosystem, be it DeFi, protocol technologies, crypto developer tools or more.
- You’re passionate about building an open financial system that brings the world together.
- You’re an excellent communicator, comfortable talking to individual contributors and executive leadership.
- Aptitude for learning and ability to ramp quickly on new and potentially complicated domains
- Ability to focus on scalable platform and business outcomes
- An execution-focused mindset, capable of navigating through ambiguity and delivering results.
Nice to haves:
- Previous project or work experience in crypto-native projects (i.e. Staking, NFTs, DeFi, DAOs, RWAs, etc.)
- Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with staking, onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
