What It’s Like to Work on Coinbase’s Consumer Engineering Team Building the “Everything Exchange”

Coinbase’s mission to “increase economic freedom” has remained the same since the company’s founding — but its potential to make a global impact is only growing. To move beyond simple trading, the cryptocurrency company is building the “Everything Exchange,” a unified platform where users can engage with every aspect of the onchain economy, from spot trading and derivatives to spending and saving. Coinbase’s consumer engineering team is responsible for building this financial platform of the future, empowered by a culture Senior Engineering Manager Jacqueline Teran described as “highly impact-driven.”
