Engineering Manager, Market Data & Analytics

As an Engineering Manager on the Market Data & Analytics team within Coinbase's Institutional product group, you lead a team of engineers building and scaling the real-time market data and analytics platform that powers Coinbase's trading systems. Your team owns index and reference price calculation, market data ingestion and distribution, and funding rate computation-the data systems that trading, risk, and clearing depend on. You drive technical strategy, grow a high-performing team, and deliver accurate, low-latency data that institutional clients and downstream exchange services rely on.

What you'll do

• Own the technical roadmap for the market data and analytics domain, aligning priorities with Institutional product goals and driving execution from planning through delivery
• Lead and grow a team of 5-10 engineers through hands-on coaching, career development, and maintaining a high bar for technical excellence
• Partner with Product, Design, and cross-functional engineering teams (Exchange, Derivatives, Prime, Risk) to scope, sequence, and ship features that expand Coinbase's market data and analytics capabilities
• Drive data accuracy, reliability, and performance, ensuring index pricing and market data feeds meet strict correctness, latency, and uptime requirements at scale
• Shape engineering culture and hiring for your team, building a pipeline of exceptional talent and maintaining high standards for code quality and operational rigor

What you bring

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing engineering teams building high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems
• A proven track record delivering real-time data, market data, or financial infrastructure systems processing high volumes with strict accuracy and reliability requirements
• Deep technical fluency in systems design, streaming and data pipelines, and at least one backend language (Java, Kotlin, Go, or C++) sufficient to guide architecture decisions and unblock your team
• Demonstrated success hiring, developing, and retaining senior engineers, with measurable outcomes in team growth and retention
• Experience partnering with Product and business stakeholders to translate complex requirements into clear engineering plans with well-defined milestones
• The ability to use generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality

What we offer

• Annual base salary range of $218,900-$256,500 USD (varies by location), plus equity and bonus eligibility
• Benefits including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
• Remote-first work with quarterly in-person "surges" for intense working sessions
