Job Description

Remote

Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

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.

Coinbase Infrastructure Security is seeking a subject matter expert in infrastructure security with a background in control development to solve challenges in Linux operating system security, container runtime security, and software lifecycle management. You will work closely with Infrastructure partners to create and execute a vision for the security of compute platforms. You will deliver impact at-scale through sound engineering, first-principles thinking, and continuous iteration. Developers will move fast and safely with the solutions that you deliver. 

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

  • Independently solve complex problems in compute platform security.
  • Harden systems using technologies like secure boot and access control frameworks
  • Build secure operating systems, managed containers, and automated updates.
  • Develop logging and monitoring systems to detect and respond to runtime threats.
  • Build and evolve infrastructure platforms by co-creating with engineering teams.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • At least 5 years of experience in software or development-focused security engineering.
  • 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 a strong working knowledge of the Linux operating system and are comfortable working with the Linux kernel (for example, writing a kernel module).
  • You have built security controls for operating system security, container runtime security, and/or container lifecycle management.
  • You have worked with Golang, Docker, and/or Kubernetes.
