Engineering Manager (infrastructure)

Coinbase Manager Position

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.

We're hiring a Manager to lead the team responsible for the foundational infrastructure that enables pre-production quality across the company. This role sits at the intersection of developer experience, infrastructure engineering, and product quality, ensuring that our staging, and testing environments are robust, observable, and sustainably maintained. The team operates core pre-production services, builds observability tooling, and drives company-wide operational practices to ensure that pre-production environments provide reliable signal on product quality before release.

Job Duties

• Hire, grow, and mentor engineers to build a high-performing, collaborative team.
• Provide clarity on goals, success metrics, and career progression.
• Operate and scale critical pre-production infrastructure and services.
• Define and implement observability standards for pre-production environments.
• Deliver tooling that enables fast detection, diagnosis, and resolution of issues.
• Lead recurring company-wide reviews of pre-production environment health and adoption.
• Work closely with developer experience, product engineering, and infrastructure teams to align on quality goals.

Job Requirements

• Proven experience managing infrastructure or platform engineering teams.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on operational execution.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Strong technical foundation in distributed systems, observability, or DevOps tooling.
• Passion for enabling developers to build and ship high-quality products.

Pay Range: $211,650—$249,000 USD
