Product Manager - Core Infrastructure

About Coinbase

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. This is a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform and the future global financial system. We seek individuals passionate about our mission, believing in crypto and blockchain's power to update the financial system. We want someone eager to leave their mark, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high-caliber colleagues, actively seeks feedback, and runs towards solving the company's hardest problems. Our work culture is intense and not for everyone, but it's an unparalleled place to build the future alongside others who excel.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, 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 own the compute, networking, and storage platforms that power Coinbase applications globally. Our work ensures every product runs reliably, cost-effectively, and with the resiliency required in a highly regulated, always-on financial environment.
