Job Description

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.

The Internal Audit IT Senior Data Analyst will work within the IT Internal Audit team to pull, test, and analyze key systems and tools data.

The ideal candidate will be capable of measuring system and model performance, conduct data analysis to test the design and operational effectiveness of key Information Technology (IT) and security controls, and perform comprehensive testing of system changes. This role requires a deep understanding of SQL and Snowflake, data ETL processes, as well as the ability to build metrics and reports to support internal audit activities.

The ideal candidate will work highly independently, identifying creative solutions to test complex data sets and data flows, and generating accurate data extracts and reports that will support the internal audit team in their control testing. In addition, the candidate should possess a working knowledge of IT audit principles and practices, with the ability to apply them in a data-intensive environment.

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

    • Data Analysis for IT and Security Control Testing:
      • Perform in-depth data analysis to assess the design and operational effectiveness of key IT and security controls via writing complex, yet efficient and reusable SQL code.
      • Identify potential areas of risk and provide recommendations for improvement.
    • System/Model Change Testing:
      • Conduct detailed testing of system or model changes to validate their impact and ensure they meet compliance and performance requirements.
      • Document and communicate the results of testing to relevant stakeholders.
    • Independent and Creative Problem-Solving:
      • Work highly independently, identifying and implementing creative solutions to test complex data sets and data flows.
      • Proactively seek out and address challenges in data testing and analysis, ensuring robust and reliable results.
    • Complex Data Extracts and Reports:
      • Produce data extracts and reports via SQL from a variety of sources that will support the internal audit team in their control testing.
      • Translate vague and complex data requests into clear and actionable requirements.
      • Ensure data exports are accurate, comprehensive, and aligned with audit requirements.
    • ETL Process Testing:
      • Test data ETL (extraction, transformation and load) from upstream production systems into the data repository, and from the data repository into the Enterprise Tools.
      • Validate data completeness and accuracy during ETL process.
    • Develop and Improve Metrics and Dashboards:
      • Design, develop, and enhance metrics and dashboards to measure the performance of various systems within the organization.
    • Ensure that metrics and dashboards provide actionable insights for the Internal Audi
