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.

Coinbase’s mission is to increase economic freedom in the world, and the Consumer Trading team plays a critical role in that vision by building the fastest, easiest, and most trusted crypto trading platform globally. The team is made up of engineers who take pride in high ownership, strong technical depth, and long-term thinking. We value team members who drive clarity in ambiguity, lead through influence, and raise the bar in engineering and product excellence.

We are seeking a highly technical Senior Engineering Manager, specializing in trading systems, to establish and lead a local team in Singapore. This team will primarily focus on the IntX product and collaborate with the US Trading team to define and deliver Coinbase's next-generation trading system for IntX. The role involves leading multi-quarter, cross-organizational initiatives, mentoring engineers, and delivering high-quality trading products that address both local and global customer requirements.


What you’ll be doing:

  • Drive the technical vision and execution of complex, multi-quarter projects across multiple engineering teams.
  • Lead the design and development of mission-critical trading systems, including order management, execution engines, and reliability infrastructure.
  • Partner with PM, Design, and other functions to align product strategy with long-term technical bets and roadmap.
  • Deeply understand and influence our trading stack and product roadmap, identifying strategic technical initiatives.
  • Mentor and coach engineers across various levels, fostering growth and developing the next generation of trading and infrastructure leaders.
  • Elevate engineering quality and promote best practices through design review, code review guidance, and process improvements.

What we look for in you:

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong track record of shipping large-scale distributed systems, including significant leadership roles.
  • Deep expertise in trading systems (traditional or crypto), with hands-on experience and strategic oversight in areas like order management, execution algorithms, market data, or risk management.
  • You are customer-obsessed and bring strong product intuition to technical decision-making and strategic planning.
  • Proven ability to lead and drive complex initiatives across organizational boundaries, influencing stakeholders and achieving consensus.
  • Strong mentoring skills with a passion for leveling up teammates and building high-performing teams.
  • Comfortable working in ambiguous environments with high stakes and high velocity, providing clear direction and stability.
  • High bar for quality, correctness, and operational excellence, instilling these values within the team.

Nice to haves:

  • You’ve been part of a company that builds complicated trading systems.
  • Prior experience in financial markets, especially equities, FX, or crypto.
  • Familiarity with regulated environments and designing for compliance and auditability.
  • Experience working with Go or other performant backend languages.
  • Contributions to open source or trading protocols.
