Senior Product Designer, Developer Foundations
About The Position
As a Senior Product Designer on Coinbase’s Developer Foundations team within the Developer Product Group, you will shape the end-to-end experience for developers building on Coinbase. The team owns the Developer Portal, including documentation, API dashboards, and onboarding flows that serve as the entry point for external developers integrating with the platform. You will lead design for these surfaces, turning complex technical workflows into clear, intuitive experiences that support developer adoption and success at scale. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Employees are expected to gather quarterly for in-person working sessions called “surges.”

- Proficiency in Figma for design delivery, prototyping, and design system management.
- Track record of integrating user research insights into design decisions, with examples of research changing a shipped outcome.
- Ability to use generative AI responsibly, maintain human oversight, and deliver business-ready outputs that improve workflow efficiency, cost, and quality measurably.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end design for the Developer Portal, spanning documentation, API dashboards, onboarding flows, and self-service tooling.
- Lead design system contributions specific to developer-facing surfaces, ensuring consistency and scalability across the Portal experience.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, and Developer Relations to identify friction points in the developer journey and ship high-impact improvements.
- Drive user research and usability testing with external developers to validate design decisions and uncover unmet needs.
- Shape how AI-powered features surface within the Portal, including intelligent search, contextual guidance, and code generation experiences.
