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.

  • Enhance operational efficiency across a wide array of DLP Engineering & Operations leveraging LLMs and agentic AI

  • Bring an automation first mindset to champion and drive a more streamlined and scalable approach towards DLP operations

  • Produce quantitative and qualitative metrics to apprise Data Protection Leadership of programmatic impact and challenges

  • You’ll collaborate with cross functional teams like engineering, product development, compliance to ensure timely remediation

  • Work in concert with risk teams to measure control effectiveness and address changes in laws/regulations globally
