Engineering Manager, Identity Frontend

Coinbase is on a mission to increase economic freedom in the world, and they are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the Identity Frontend Pod. This role involves managing a team of frontend engineers to enhance user experiences related to identity across Coinbase's platforms.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and grow a team of frontend engineers across web and mobile, partnering closely with your Tech Lead and Product Manager to set direction and drive execution
• Own the team's major initiatives: improving mobile sign-in performance, rolling out transfer protections and new security features, and building frontend interfaces for multi-entity organizational account management
• Coordinate across backend identity teams and multiple product groups to unblock dependencies, resolve ambiguity, and keep the team shipping at high velocity
• Uphold reliability and quality standards for production apps used by millions of customers — including on-call health, deployment rigor, and rapid incident resolution
• Drive improvements to testing infrastructure, enabling continuous deployment and high test coverage across critical user flows
• Partner with Talent to identify, attract, and hire exceptional frontend engineers — and invest in coaching, development, and retention to build a world-class team
• Represent the team to internal partners in Security, Design, Product, and backend Identity teams — building alignment and ensuring seamless integration support

Requirements:

• 5+ years of engineering management experience, ideally leading frontend or full-stack product teams
• Strong technical fluency in modern frontend development — React, React Native, TypeScript, testing infrastructure, and web performance optimization
• A track record of shipping high-quality, high-traffic user experiences at scale — you sweat the details on quality and user experience, not just delivery speed
• Experience managing cross-functional dependencies and coordinating across backend, design, and product teams to keep complex initiatives moving
• Strong communication skills — able to build alignment across teams, represent your team to leadership, and translate product vision into technical execution
• Demonstrates the ability to responsibly use generative AI tools and copilots (e.g., LibreChat, Gemini, Glean) in daily workflows, continuously learn as tools evolve, and apply human-in-the-loop practices to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in efficiency, cost, and quality
• Background in identity, authentication, or security-facing user experiences
• Experience building mobile-first or hybrid web/native experiences at scale
• Familiarity with passkeys, WebAuthn, OAuth, or modern authentication protocols
