You'll partner closely with engineering leadership to design the core platforms that accelerate product development and operations across the company.

- 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
- Own end-to-end design for the development release pipeline, giving engineers visibility into where their code sits on the path to production
- Design the Engineering Standards Scorecard, turning 100+ standards spanning reliability, security, and paved-path adoption into a clear, trustworthy view for individual contributors, directors, and VPs
- Run iterative design cycles: ideate, prototype, test with internal users, and refine based on qualitative feedback and operational data
- Partner with engineering leadership and standards owners across Coinbase organizations to define a shared service-catalog data model and ingestion approach
What you bring
- 7+ years of professional product design experience, including owning end-to-end flows from discovery through launch
- A track record designing enterprise solutions for complex workflows, ideally used by both technical and non-technical users
- Excellence in UX thinking, systems design, and the ability to influence product strategy and roadmap in close partnership with Product and Engineering
- Sharp attention to detail and mastery of visual design, interaction design, and prototyping
- Strong cross-functional communication and stakeholder management experience
- Experience designing for technical, engineer-facing, or data-heavy systems, such as internal tools, developer platforms, or governance and compliance tooling
- The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment
- Fluency in Figma and modern prototyping tools, including using AI tools to explore, prototype, or ship faster
- 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 of $180,370-$212,200 USD, varying by location
