Technical Program Manager

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people. We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web3 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Finally, we seek people who are excited to learn about and live crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We’re a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.

Ready to #LiveCrypto? Who you are:

• You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there. 
• You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0. 
• You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
• You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
• You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
• You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

We’re looking for a strong Technical Program Manager to join the Strategic Programs team. Strategic Programs is the organization responsible for program management across the Coinbase product suite. In this role, you will be responsible for the execution and success of multiple crypto-focused programs that are critical to Coinbase’s product strategy and execution.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties): 

• Lead large scale programs that are crypto-focused, highly technical, and cross-functional in nature

• Team up with external & internal stakeholders (Product, Engineering, Data Science, Compliance, Marketing, Customer Experience, and many others) to set strategy, accelerate execution, and solve critical problems

• Manage requirements documentation, milestone mapping, prioritization, and program communication

• Create thorough functional specs, project / release plans, and roadmaps

• Monitor program status, identify and mitigate risks, succinctly communicate issues, and proactively work to resolve them in a timely fashion

• Example programs you may lead include the buildout of new products at the cutting edge of crypto, the buildout of new primitives for developers, launching new crypto assets, and building platforms to streamline existing operations

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): 

• 4+ years of technical program management experience at a technology company and/or in a technical capacity

• 4+ years of relevant experience working with senior technical leaders to solve challenging problems

• A love of solving hard problems and the ability to  turn incomplete, conflicting, or ambiguous inputs into action plans

• Ability to communicate across both technical and non-technical stakeholders in order to drive alignment

• Ability to leverage data to inform and support critical decisions and make recommendations

• Prior experience working on global programs

• Able to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities simultaneously with minimal supervision
