As an Engineering Manager on the Market Data & Analytics team within Coinbase's Institutional product group, you will lead a team of 5-10 engineers building and scaling the real-time market data and analytics platform that powers Coinbase's trading systems. This 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 will own the technical roadmap for the market data and analytics domain, aligning priorities with Institutional product goals and driving execution from planning through delivery. You'll lead and grow your team through hands-on coaching, career development, and maintaining a high bar for technical excellence. You'll 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.
You'll drive data accuracy, reliability, and performance, ensuring index pricing and market data feeds meet strict correctness, latency, and uptime requirements at scale. You'll shape engineering culture and hiring for your team, building a pipeline of exceptional talent and maintaining high standards for code quality and operational rigor.
Required: 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing engineering teams building high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems. 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/data pipelines, and at least one backend language (Java, Kotlin, Go, 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. Ability to utilize generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
