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 an Engineering Manager to lead the Identity Frontend Pod — the horizontal frontend platform team that powers the identity layer across all of Coinbase. This team owns the most visible, highest-traffic user experiences at Coinbase: every login, sign-up, account settings interaction, and security flow that millions of customers touch daily. You'll lead frontend engineers building and operating Unified Login, Account Management, and the suite of shared component libraries — including 2FA, passkeys, bot detection, and navigation — used across Coinbase's web and mobile platforms. This role is for someone who cares deeply about both engineering craft and user experience, and who can lead a high-performing team working at the intersection of security, performance, and product quality. You'll partner closely with your Tech Lead and Product Manager, coordinate across backend identity teams, and drive execution on the team's major initiatives: mobile performance, account management modernization, organizational interfaces, and testing infrastructure. What you'll be doing: - Manage and grow a team of frontend engineers across web and mobile, partnering closely with your Tech Lead and Product Manager to set direction and drive execution. - Own the team's major initiatives: improving mobile sign-in performance, rolling out transfer protections and new security features, and building frontend interfaces for multi-entity organizational account management. - Coordinate across backend identity teams and multiple product groups to unblock dependencies, resolve ambiguity, and keep the team shipping at high velocity. - Uphold reliability and quality standards for production apps used by millions of customers — including on-call health, deployment rigor, and rapid incident resolution. - Drive improvements to testing infrastructure, enabling continuous deployment and high test coverage across critical user flows. - Partner with Talent to identify, attract, and hire exceptional frontend engineers — and invest in coaching, development, and retention to build a world-class team. - Represent the team to internal partners in Security, Design, Product, and backend Identity teams — building alignment and ensuring seamless integration support. What we look for in you: - 5+ years of engineering management experience, ideally leading frontend or full-stack product teams. - Strong technical fluency in modern frontend development — React, React Native, TypeScript, testing infrastructure, and web performance optimization. - A track record of shipping high-quality, high-traffic user experiences at scale — you sweat the details on quality and user experience, not just delivery speed. - Experience managing cross-functional dependencies and coordinating across backend, design, and product teams to keep complex initiatives moving. - Strong communication skills — able to build alignment across teams, represent your team to leadership, and translate product vision into technical execution. - 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: - Background in identity, authentication, or security-facing user experiences. - Experience building mobile-first or hybrid web/native experiences at scale. - Familiarity with passkeys, WebAuthn, OAuth, or modern authentication protocols. Job #: P76629 Pay Transparency Notice: Depending on your work location, the target annual base salary for this position can range as detailed below. Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility and benefits (including medical, dental, vision and 401(k)).
