Mar 02
Coinbase is one of the oldest and largest crypto exchanges, and Coinbase Jobs are one of the most coveted in the industry. Founded in 2012, Coinbase is now a crypto heavyweight with over 68 million verified users and 1,250 employees. Coinbase even went public in 2021 on Nasdaq via a direct listing.
Coinbase was launched by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam. It is based in San Francisco, California. However, the exchange now has offices spread across multiple cities in US, Europe, and Asia. Coinbase brought in a revenue of $2.23 Billion in Q2 2020, and at the peak of its share price, its valuation exceeded $100 Billion.
Coinbase does not advertise a lot of internship opportunities. However, they do come from time to time.
Coinbase has also embraced remote jobs. Pretty much most positions that Coinbase is hiring for now are remote. However, Coinbase Remote Jobs are country-specific. Meaning, Coinbase still hires people from the countries they operate in, but the positions themselves are remote.
Coinbase is growing rapidly, and at any given time, Coinbase has hundreds of open jobs. Check out the jobs below if you're looking to work for Coinbase.
At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldnât do this without hiring the best people. Weâre a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web3 for our users across the globe, whether theyâre trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? Thatâs us.
There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Finally, we seek people who are excited to learn about and live crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. Weâre a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.
Ready to #LiveCrypto? Who you are:
- Youâve got positive energy. Youâre optimistic about the future and determined to get there.Â
- Youâre never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0.Â
- You appreciate direct communication. Youâre both an active communicator and an eager listener - because letâs face it, you canât have one without the other. Youâre cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
- You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. Youâre not looking for a boring job.
- You have a âcan doâ attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesnât scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
- You want to be part of a winning team. Weâre stronger together, and youâre a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.
Security Operations Team
Security is a primary competency at Coinbase, and the Security Operations team keeps a watchful eye over every aspect of it. Every day, we go to battle against some of the most sophisticated attackers in the world to protect billions of dollars worth of digital assets and ensure that our customers and employees can enjoy a safe, trusted experience. As Coinbase scales globally, our team is scaling along with it, using a blend of tooling, automation, and strategic team growth to ensure that weâre well-equipped to protect the next billion users of crypto.
What youâll be doing:
The Security Operations group is a multi-functional organization that includes our CSIRT, Trust & Safety, Insider Threat, and Threat Intelligence. While no two days will end up looking the same, generally-speaking youâll be responsible for the following things:
- Youâll serve as the first line of response when a security alert needs to be triaged, and lead the incident response/ management as needed
- Youâll also refine our alerting rules to improve our signal/noise ratio, because no one wants to be a button-pusher or SOC monkey
- If something happens twice, youâll write a runbook for it. If it happens three times, youâll figure out a way to automate that runbook
- Youâll partner with Trust & Safety and Threat Intelligence on some of our attacker investigations to build TTP profiles
- Youâll be part of a light on-call rotation with counterparts in multiple time zones
- Youâll lead a culture of excellence by mentoring peers and share knowledge
- Youâll collaborate with cross functional teams like engineering, product development, compliance to ensure timely Incident Response
What we look for in you:
Some security teams have strict requirements about certifications, degrees, years of experience, and things like that. Not us! Weâre more interested in the unique perspectives and expertise youâll bring to the team, rather than the acronyms on your resume. However, youâll be much more likely to be successful in this role if these bullet points seem like a good description of you:
- Youâve been doing practical security things (incident response, phishkit/malware analysis, investigating account compromises, etc) for a while now, probably in the realm of 7+ years
- You donât just reflexively open up a Jupyter Notebook during an investigation, youâve actually got favorite Jupyter Notebooks youâve built up over the years, because you like backing up your conclusions with data, and you like automating things
- You are good in understanding and analyzing multitude of artifacts across network and host level
- You frequently get praise from your peers and coworkers about your communication skills, both written and verbal
- Your high degree of empathy means that your coworkers trust you to help solve their security problems, because you never come across as judgmental or condescending
- Pressure doesnât get to you, even in high intensity situations or environments
Nice to haves:
- You would bring a diverse perspective to the team: for example, maybe you took an unconventional route to get into your current security career
- Youâve got a passing familiarity with blockchains and cryptocurrency, or at least a good story about how you thought about investing in Bitcoin in 2014 but decided not to
- Youâre comfortable doing some basic scripting and writing alert rules in Python and running queries in SQL/Snowflake
- Youâve good understanding of Cloud and SaaS technologiesÂ
- You are good in analyzing data at scale and perform investigations to identify adversary behavior
- Youâve got some experience with OSINT and threat hunting
- Youâve got some experience doing incident response in the cloud
- Youâd prefer if everyone just settled on using the ATT&CK framework already
- You have got experience in analyzing attacker methodologies and build detections that will enhance the existing security posture
