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.

At Coinbase, we view security as one of our core product features.

You will support operations for some of our core security processes, as well as partnering closely with our product partners and other core teams to help design product features that will maximize security without adding unnecessary friction. As part of this role, you’ll work closely with product engineers, cryptography engineers, and other technical teams, so a deep understanding of backend systems will be a significant benefit in this role. The Institutional business at Coinbase is evolving rapidly, making this a great opportunity to be a part of furthering Coinbase’s mission of being the Most Trusted crypto company.

Manage the Information security program for our EMEA entities
