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.
The Developer Experience (DevX) team owns the tools and platforms Coinbase engineers use to build, test, ship, and operate software. That includes CI/CD pipelines, release automation, testing infrastructure, source control, compliance tooling, developer productivity tooling, and AI-assisted development. When DevX works well, engineers move faster. When it doesn't, friction slows everyone down.
As an L6 Senior Product Manager, you will own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for DevX end-to-end. You will figure out the most important problems to solve, define how we measure success, drive the roadmap, and be accountable for outcomes. This is a senior IC role with real autonomy. You will partner with engineering and senior leadership and represent DevX to stakeholders across the company, including VP and C-level audiences. This role reports to Alex Rodriguez (VP, Infrastructure) until the Director of PM, Infrastructure is in place.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for DevX end-to-end: CI/CD, release automation, testing infrastructure, source control, compliance tooling, developer productivity, and AI-assisted development.
- Identify where AI agents, automation, and LLMs can meaningfully change how Coinbase engineers work, including test generation, code review, bug detection, and refactoring.
- Find the highest-leverage opportunities to improve engineering velocity, reliability, and developer experience.
- Keep infrastructure fundamentals reliable and performant. Our AI ambitions depend on it.
- Define success metrics (build times, deployment frequency, CI reliability, developer satisfaction) and drive toward measurable outcomes.
- Make tradeoff decisions that balance developer experience, reliability, security, and cost.
- Build deep understanding of your users (Coinbase engineers) through research, data, and direct feedback.
- Ensure tooling meets security and compliance requirements in a regulated environment.
- Partner with engineering to turn strategy into executable plans and stay close enough to execution to unblock progress.
- Lead evaluation of AI tools, technologies, and vendors with clear build vs. buy recommendations.
- Drive adoption of what you ship, not just launches.
- Communicate roadmap, progress, and tradeoffs to senior leadership including VPs and C-level executives across Infrastructure, Platform, and Engineering.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- 6+ years of product management experience.
- 2+ years owning strategy and roadmaps for developer tools, developer platforms, or infrastructure products.
- Track record of shipping products that improved developer productivity with measurable results.
- You have a point of view on how AI will change software development, grounded in experience or a clear thesis.
- Ability to operate independently: you set priorities, define success metrics, and drive outcomes without waiting for direction.
- Technical depth: you can discuss CI/CD systems, build pipelines, and developer workflows with engineers without needing everything explained.
- You think like a marketplace PM: you understand both the platform capabilities you're building and the engineer workflows you're serving, and you know how to balance them.
- Experience partnering with engineering organizations of 50+ engineers to drive prioritization and alignment.
- Strong judgment on tradeoffs: you know when to optimize for speed vs. reliability, when to build vs. buy, and when to push back.
- Clear, direct communication: you write well, run effective meetings, and can influence VP and C-level leadership.
- Comfortable operating in a regulated environment where security and compliance are real constraints.
- Demonstrates the ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots (e.g., LibreChat, Gemini, Glean) in daily workflows, continuously learn as tools evolve, and apply human-in-the-loop practices to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and quality.
Nice to haves:
- Experience with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Buildkite, Jenkins), Kubernetes, or infrastructure-as-code.
- Experience deploying AI coding assistants or autonomous agents at scale.
- Experience building internal developer platforms or working with platform engineering teams.
- Familiarity with developer productivity measurement (DORA, SPACE, DX surveys).
- Experience in fintech, financial services, or security-first environments.
- Crypto experience: you have used Ethereum, interacted with dApps, or built in web3.
