Full Job Description
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.

As a Product Manager on the Coinbase Trading team, you will play a pivotal role in enhancing the trading experience for users on our flagship application. Buying, selling, and converting crypto are most commonly used actions in the Coinbase app and drive a large percentage of user activity.

As both crypto and the personal investing landscape continue to rapidly evolve, there is a huge amount of potential to capture. You will lead the ideation, development, and execution of features aimed at improving critical user journeys and driving trading efficiency. Additionally, you will leverage your understanding of retail traders to identify new trading and investing opportunities for our user base.

What You Will Be Doing:
  • Lead the development of features aimed at improving critical user journeys for traders. Identify pain points and user motivations to make trading, which some think is complex and scary, into an easy and delightful product
  • Conceptualize and implement a roadmap that enables derivatives traders to unlock new strategies on web, mobile (iOS/Android), and through API
  • Define metrics and run experiments to evaluate CUJ efficiency and trading execution. Leverage data to continuously optimize product features
  • Own product development from conception to launch, iterating along the way until you create the world's best products for leverage and hedging
  • Scale and grow usage, ensuring users have access to the products when needed
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design, data, marketing, and cross-functional teams to develop and steer product roadmap
  • Define and analyze metrics to guide product development
  • Align teams on a shared vision and steer execution on that vision

What we look for in you:
  • 2+ years of experience designing and launching products as a Product Manager and/or founder, including experience working on consumer products
  • Expertise in trading and a strong grasp of financial concepts (i.e. markets, derivative instruments, trading strategies)
  • Experience building 0 to 1 products with high ambiguity and creatively solving problems given any constraint without giving up
  • Strong design sense about product decisions and an understanding of how to create delightful experiences
  • Ability to influence and shape strategic decisions/discussions
  • Experience working with and balancing the needs of a wide variety of stakeholders including users, design, and UXR using both qualitative and quantitative data
  • An entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to succeed in a fast-paced environment
  • Demonstrated passion for cryptocurrency, financial markets, and the Coinbase mission

Nice to Haves:
  • Experience in brokerage, market-making, institutional trading, or derivatives products (options, futures, perps, event contracts)
  • Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services
