Staff Product Designer - Financial Tools and Infrastructure

Coinbase is on a mission to increase economic freedom in the world, and they are seeking a Staff Product Designer to join their Financial Platform team. The role involves leading design for financial tools that help manage money safely and efficiently, establishing design standards for internal tools, and collaborating closely with various teams to influence product strategy and execution.

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the overall direction and decision-making for product and design strategy across Coinbase's financial infrastructure tools
• Own end-to-end design for high-impact features and net-new products, from discovery through launch—including fund flow onboarding and controls, ledger and reconciliation tools, financial lineage explorers, and treasury command centers
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Finance leadership, Treasury, Accounting, and Compliance to define problems, explore solutions, and ship experiences quickly
• 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
• Make complex financial data digestible and actionable through thoughtful data visualization and information design
• Run iterative design cycles: ideate, prototype, test with internal users (accountants, treasury managers, CX agents, engineers), and refine based on qualitative feedback and operational data
• Establish scalable design patterns and systems that other teams can reuse, codifying best practices for internal platform UX at Coinbase
• Operate as the sole designer in highly technical rooms—interfacing directly with Executives and influencing technical roadmaps with confidence

Requirements:

• 8+ years of professional Product Design experience, including leading complex, multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end and operating at Staff-level scope
• Proven track record designing enterprise solutions for complex workflows, ideally used by both technical and non-technical users
• Experience designing internal tools, developer platforms, or operational tooling—you've simplified 'messy' back-end processes into elegant, functional interfaces
• Strong data visualization skills—you can make complex data digestible and actionable
• Systems thinking—you excel at building tools from the ground up where no UI currently exists
• Excellence in UX thinking, systems design, and clear written communication
• Experience influencing product strategy and roadmap in close partnership with Product and Engineering
• Strong cross-functional communication and stakeholder management experience (Product, Engineering, Finance, Accounting, Treasury, Compliance, Operations)
• Ability to operate as a 'force multiplier'—working independently in highly ambiguous spaces, identifying the right problems to solve rather than purely executing
• Sharp attention to detail and mastery of your craft: visual design, interaction design, and prototyping
• Thrives in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment
• Fluency in Figma and modern prototyping tools, including using AI tools to explore, prototype, or ship faster
• Low ego, collaborative, and open-minded
• User of Coinbase products
• Experience designing for regulated industries (e.g., financial services, fintech)
• Experience with financial systems (ledgers, reconciliation, treasury, accounting tools)
• Background with data visualization and lineage tools
• Interest or experience in AI applications and coding—bridging the gap between design and engineering
• Experience operating in startups or 0→1 environments with high agency and ownership
