About The Position

As a Compliance Associate on Coinbase’s AML/CTF Compliance team, you will help execute anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing programs for Coinbase Custody International, the CBIE Trust, and Coinbase Bermuda. The role supports compliance with applicable Irish and Bermudian regulatory obligations and helps maintain robust AML/CTF controls, transaction monitoring, and regulatory reporting across these entities. You will support the MLRO with day-to-day compliance operations, including suspicious transaction reporting, customer due diligence reviews, regulatory correspondence, and recordkeeping. You will also monitor regulatory developments and work with internal teams to support consistent compliance processes and responses to regulatory inquiries or examinations. Coinbase is remote-first but not remote-only, with quarterly in-person working sessions called “surges.”

Familiarity with compliance case management tools and the ability to manage a high volume of concurrent reviews and regulatory deadlines accurately and thoroughly.
Responsible use of generative AI, with human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

Responsibilities

Support execution of the AML/CTF compliance program, including transaction monitoring, alert review, and escalation of suspicious activity in line with regulatory expectations and internal policies.
Prepare and file Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and other regulatory filings for assigned entities, ensuring they are accurate, complete, and submitted on time.
