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 Platform Design and Research team at Coinbase plays a critical role in executing on our vision to create more economic freedom for the world and sits at the center of building products across the company. We design the core platforms and internal tools that accelerate product development and operations across Coinbase, and we're building the most secure, trusted, and easy-to-use crypto experiences for millions of customers.
You'll join our Financial Platform team to shape the next generation of internal financial infrastructure—the tools and systems that help Coinbase move, account for, and manage money safely and efficiently across products.
This is a 0-to-1 opportunity to establish a design standard for internal tools, an area that has historically lacked dedicated design support. As a Staff Product Designer, you'll lead design for financial tools that teams use to launch, operate, and monitor products safely and efficiently—including systems for ledgers, treasury, accounting, reconciliation, and fund allocation. Your work will set the blueprint for how internal platforms across Coinbase are designed, influencing not just Financial Infrastructure but future tooling for DevTools, Compliance, and beyond.
