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 Tax Engineering team within the Consumer Product Group. Tax Engineering sits at the intersection of every trade, every payment, and every product Coinbase ships on the hot path. When a user buys Bitcoin, sells an equity, earns staking rewards, or redeems an Advisor-managed strategy, our systems calculate cost basis, track gain/loss, determine withholding obligations, and produce the reporting that keeps Coinbase compliant across every product line and legal entity globally. As EM, you'll lead a 12-person team (IC4–IC6) building the primitives that make every new product launch possible from 1099 reporting infrastructure to automated withholding and clearing integrations with our partner Apex. Scale and accuracy are both non-negotiable. If you want to work on systems that are technically demanding, financially consequential, and impossible to ignore, this is the team.

Ownership & impact

In this role, you will:

  • Own the technical roadmap for Tax Engineering, driving the architecture and execution for cost basis tracking, gain/loss calculation, withholding automation, and reporting infrastructure that powers Coinbase's tax compliance at scale.
  • Lead and grow a high-performing team of 12 engineers (IC4–IC6), coaching them to deliver impact while supporting their career development and fostering a culture of
