About The Position

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. We’re seeking a very specific candidate who is passionate about our mission and believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. This role requires someone 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. 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, with team and company-wide offsites held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment.
