Software Engineering Manager - Cloud Provisioning

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 manager of the Cloud Provisioning team will be responsible for overseeing the strategy and execution of our Infra Provisioning experience. They will be accountable for improving the developer experience around cloud account provisioning and infrastructure provisioning. The individual will need to be customer focused (internal engineers) and excel at collaborating with the rest of teams within the organization for alignment.

• Build and manage engineering teams, to guide the development of features, services, and infrastructure across both web and mobile.

• Coach your direct reports to have a positive impact on the organization and support their career growth.

• Collaborate with engineers, designers, product managers, and senior leadership to translate our vision into a tangible roadmap on a quarterly basis. Break down complex projects into smaller pieces and lead the iterative design and implementation process.

• Be a thoughtful technical voice within the team, aiding in diligent architectural decisions and fostering a culture of high-quality code and engineering processes. Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to ensure successful delivery and operation of multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.

• Work closely with our talent organization to identify and recruit exceptional engineers who align with Coinbase's culture and contribute to our products.

• Contribute to and take ownership of processes that drive engineering quality and meet our engineering SLAs.

• At least 7 years of experience in software engineering.

• At least 2 years of engineering management experience.

• Demonstrated experience operating critical, high-traffic infrastructure, including proficiency with monitor (via golden signals and service-specific metrics, logs, and traces), unix network debugging, scaling, and proactively addressing performance and reliability concerns.

• An ability to balance long-term strategic thinking with short-term planning.

• Experience in creating, delivering, and operating multi-tenanted, distributed systems at scale.

• You can be hands-on when needed – whether that’s writing/reviewing code or technical documents, participating in on-call rotations and leading incidents, or triaging/troubleshooting bugs.

• Your passion for building an open financial system that brings the world together drives you to excel in this role.

• Experience with distributed systems and understanding of concepts such as active-active cluster design.

• You have gone through a rapid growth in your company (from 10 to 100s of engineers)

• You’ve built financial, high reliability or security systems
