To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

In this highly cross-functional role you will partner with stakeholders across Coinbase Engineering and Information Security to build and execute a strategic vision for vulnerability risk reduction.

  • At least 2 years of experience using SQL and/or Python to analyze vulnerability data and/or deliver operational metrics.
  • Strong understanding of security frameworks and risk management.

  • An execution-focused mindset, capable of navigating through ambiguity and delivering results.
  • Your passion for building an open financial system that brings the world together drives you to excel in this role.

Nice to haves:

  • You have designed and implemented a VM program with measurable risk reduction.
  • You have implemented security controls in developer platforms like GitHub Enterprise and Artifactory.
  • You have worked with Golang, Docker, Airflow, and AWS or GCP.
