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.
The Compliance Technology Team at Coinbase plays a critical role in achieving our mission. Compliance Technology designs, builds and maintains complex systems at a global scale to meet BSA/AML regulations with industry best practices. Within the Compliance Technology - KYC team, we are building KYC technology, Customer Risk Rating models, and internal and external reports and dashboards to support our Compliance processes and stakeholders.
The ideal candidate should have strong data analytics, SQL, Python, and data visualization skills. In addition, the candidate should have working knowledge of BSA/AML compliance, KYC and customer risk rating. Software engineering experience in Compliance will be a big plus.

- Data-driven approach to problem solving
