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.

Through the Coinbase Prime product, we’re building the most secure and full-service prime brokerage platform that enables institutions to participate in the crypto-economy. Institutions trust our products with safekeeping their crypto assets, executing trades, lending their custodied assets for yield, and accessing crypto-native features.

As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll contribute to our mission, vision, and strategy through a deep understanding of our client and business needs. You are a strong product thinker— able to devise scalable solutions and develop optimal user journeys that help our clients unlock institutional investment strategies. Our team is a tightly knit group of highly talented and motivated individuals that work together in a collaborative environment to solve some of the toughest problems in this space.
