Product Manager II - Onchain Foundations

Overview

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 Onchain Foundations team within the Coinbase Consumer app builds the underlying technology that lets customers access the utility of DeFi and other onchain features directly in Coinbase. The team powers category‑defining products that enable users to Earn (Lend), Borrow, and Trade (DEX trading) within the app, orchestrating seamless transactions across Coinbase’s centralized exchange and onchain protocols to unlock new product experiences and scale existing ones!

• Proven stakeholder and project management skills across multi‑disciplinary teams.

• An existing network in crypto communities.
• Crypto‑forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity (e.g., interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, engaging with dApps/blockchain‑based services).
