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.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.

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 we’re well-equipped to protect the next billion users of crypto.

What you’ll be doing:

As a dedicated Analyst for Institutional Trust & Safety, you will help build and own the operational security framework for our institutional clients. You will be responsible for guiding our approach during incident response and developing proactive risk management, ensuring the safety and security of our institutional business line.

Strategic Cross-Functional Partnership: You will serve as the dedicated T&S expert for the Institutional team, providing critical guidance on product development, new feature rollouts, and operational readiness to ensure security is a foundational component of our institutional offerings.

Tooling and Process Improvement: You will gain and maintain expert-level knowledge of all institutional-specific tools and systems, working with technical teams to define requirements and ensure the necessary access and capabilities are in place for effective monitoring and investigation.

Incident Management and Leadership: You will act as the primary T&S point of contact and investigation lead for all institutional-related security incidents.

Policy Development and Ownership: You will assist in the development, documentation, and maintenance of a comprehensive set of operational policies and procedures for institutional account security, including identity verification, security protocols, and account recovery.

What we look for in you:

Some security teams have strict requirements about certifications, degrees, years of experience, and things like that. Not us! We’re more interested in the unique perspectives and expertise you’ll bring to the team rather than the acronyms on your resume. However, you’ll be much more likely to be successful in this role if these points seem like a good description of you:

You have 4+ years of experience in Trust & Safety, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, or a related operational field, with a proven track record of handling complex investigations.

You are a builder at heart, comfortable with ambiguity, and excited by the opportunity to create and implement new policies and processes from the ground up.
