Engineering Manager, Blockchain Platform Asset Data Team

Join Coinbase's Asset Data Platform

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 team 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.

Where does the price you see on Coinbase actually come from? Behind every trade, chart, wallet balance, and DeFi position is the Asset Data Platform. We are the team that collects, normalizes, and serves asset metadata, real-time prices, and historical data at massive scale—ensuring customers see accurate, up-to-the-second information whether they are trading on Coinbase Exchange, exploring DeFi with Coinbase Wallet (TBA), or monitoring their portfolio performance. The Asset Data Platform is at the heart of hundreds of services at Coinbase, powering everything from Coinbase's centralized exchange to the Wallet and DEX experiences. Our services run under extreme scale and scrutiny—every millisecond of accuracy and uptime matters, because billions of dollars in trades and millions of customers trust rely on it. This is one of the most visible and business-critical engineering platforms at Coinbase. Joining the team means leading engineers who solve some of the hardest problems in distributed systems, scalability, and operational excellence—while directly shaping the foundation of the global crypto economy.
