Coinbase is on a mission to increase economic freedom in the world, and they are seeking a Senior Product Manager for their Developer Experience (DevX) team. This role involves owning the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for DevX, focusing on improving engineering velocity and developer experience through innovative tooling and automation.
Responsibilities:
- Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for DevX end-to-end: CI/CD, release automation, testing infrastructure, source control, compliance tooling, developer productivity, and AI-assisted development
- Identify where AI agents, automation, and LLMs can meaningfully change how Coinbase engineers work, including test generation, code review, bug detection, and refactoring
- Find the highest-leverage opportunities to improve engineering velocity, reliability, and developer experience
- Keep infrastructure fundamentals reliable and performant. Our AI ambitions depend on it
- Define success metrics (build times, deployment frequency, CI reliability, developer satisfaction) and drive toward measurable outcomes
- Make tradeoff decisions that balance developer experience, reliability, security, and cost
- Build deep understanding of your users (Coinbase engineers) through research, data, and direct feedback
- Ensure tooling meets security and compliance requirements in a regulated environment
- Partner with engineering to turn strategy into executable plans and stay close enough to execution to unblock progress
- Lead evaluation of AI tools, technologies, and vendors with clear build vs. buy recommendations
- Drive adoption of what you ship, not just launches
- Communicate roadmap, progress, and tradeoffs to senior leadership including VPs and C-level executives across Infrastructure, Platform, and Engineering
Requirements:
- 6+ years of product management experience
- 2+ years owning strategy and roadmaps for developer tools, developer platforms, or infrastructure products
- Track record of shipping products that improved developer productivity with measurable results
- You have a point of view on how AI will change software development, grounded in experience or a clear thesis
- Ability to operate independently: you set priorities, define success metrics, and drive outcomes without waiting for direction
- Technical depth: you can discuss CI/CD systems, build pipelines, and developer workflows with engineers without needing everything explained
- You think like a marketplace PM: you understand both the platform capabilities you're building and the engineer workflows you're serving, and you know how to balance them
- Experience partnering with engineering organizations of 50+ engineers to drive prioritization and alignment
- Strong judgment on tradeoffs: you know when to optimize for speed vs. reliability, when to build vs. buy, and when to push back
- Clear, direct communication: you write well, run effective meetings, and can influence VP and C-level leadership
- Comfortable operating in a regulated environment where security and compliance are real constraints
- Experience with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Buildkite, Jenkins), Kubernetes, or infrastructure-as-code
- Experience deploying AI coding assistants or autonomous agents at scale
- Experience building internal developer platforms or working with platform engineering teams
- Familiarity with developer productivity measurement (DORA, SPACE, DX surveys)
- Experience in fintech, financial services, or security-first environments
- Crypto experience: you have used Ethereum, interacted with dApps, or built in web3
