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.

  • Develop and monitor key risk indicators (KRIs) and control metrics to ensure ongoing risk management and compliance.
  • Create/update technology policies and standards that ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and industry standards
  • Collaborate with product, engineering, and cybersecurity teams to enhance incident detection and response capabilities.
  • Prepare management committee materials (operation and/or risk oversight committee, board)
  • Prepare and maintain documentation for regulatory reporting and internal audits.
  • Prepare and present risk and control reports to senior management and stakeholders.
  • Communicate findings and recommendations effectively to various audiences, including technical and non-technical personnel.
  • Propose and implement improvements to risk management processes and control frameworks.

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

  • 5+ years of experience in technology governance, risk, and or compliance. 
  • Experience working with technology standards or frameworks such as ITIL, COBIT, NIST, BAIT
  • Strong understanding of risk management principles
  • Experience working on remediation projects (new regulation, audit findings)
  • Enjoy solving hard problems and can turn incomplete, conflicting, or ambiguous inputs into action plans
  • Previous experience working on global programs to implement coordinated efforts
  • Experience working within cloud native environments 
  • Ability to leverage data to inform critical decisions and make recommendations
  • Prior experience working with auditors
  • Able to manage multiple stakeholders and priorities simultaneously

Nice to haves:

  • Fluency in German
  • Experience working with regulators
  • Experience working within Financial Services or FinTech
  • Prior crypto experience and a demonstrated interest in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies
