Coinbase is on a mission to increase economic freedom, and we're looking for people who are ready to be pushed past their perceived limits. We are a remote-first, but not remote-only company, and we gather quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called "surges."

As an Associate Product Manager (APM) Intern, you'll spend 12 weeks partnering with engineering, design, and cross-functional teams to build products that bring the world onchain. You'll own a meaningful product area, ship real features used by millions of customers, and develop the strategic thinking that defines great product managers.
