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.
Contribute to the overall direction and decision-making for product and design strategy across Coinbase's financial infrastructure tools. Own end-to-end design for high-impact features and net-new products, from discovery through launch—including fund flow onboarding and controls, ledger and reconciliation tools, financial lineage explorers, and treasury command centers. Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Finance leadership, Treasury, Accounting, and Compliance to define problems, explore solutions, and ship experiences quickly. Design high-quality UI and interaction patterns for data-intensive, workflow-heavy enterprise tools, including visual workflow builders, configuration management systems, and real-time dashboards. Make complex financial data digestible and actionable through thoughtful data visualization and information design. Run iterative design cycles: ideate, prototype, test with internal users (accountants, treasury managers, CX agents, engineers), and refine based on qualitative feedback and operational data. Establish scalable design patterns and systems that other teams can reuse, codifying best practices for internal platform UX at Coinbase. Operate as the sole designer in highly technical rooms—interfacing directly with Executives and influencing technical roadmaps with confidence.
8+ years of professional Product Design experience, including leading complex, multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end and operating at Staff-level scope. Proven track record designing enterprise solutions for complex workflows, ideally used by both technical and non-technical users. Experience designing internal tools, developer platforms, or operational tooling—you've simplified "messy" back-end processes into elegant, functional interfaces. Strong data visualization skills—you can make complex data digestible and actionable. Systems thinking—you excel at building tools from the ground up where no UI currently exists. Excellence in UX thinking, systems design, and clear written communication. Experience influencing product strategy and roadmap in close partnership with Product and Engineering. Strong cross-functional communication and stakeholder management experience (Product, Engineering, Finance, Accounting, Treasury, Compliance, Operations). Ability to operate as a "force multiplier"—working independently in highly ambiguous spaces, identifying the right problems to solve rather than purely executing. Sharp attention to detail and mastery of your craft: visual design, interaction design, and prototyping. Thrives in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment. Fluency in Figma and modern prototyping tools, including using AI tools to explore, prototype, or ship faster. Low ego, collaborative, and open-minded.
User of Coinbase products. Experience designing for regulated industries (e.g., financial services, fintech). Experience with financial systems (ledgers, reconciliation, treasury, accounting tools). Background with data visualization and lineage tools. Interest or experience in AI applications and coding—bridging the gap between design and engineering. Experience operating in startups or 0→1 environments with high agency and ownership.
