Summary Generated by Built In
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.
Team/ Role Paragraph
As a Risk Manager on the Risk Analytics team, you'll be a key individual contributor responsible for identifying and mitigating account security risk. Your deep analytical expertise will be crucial in protecting our platform without negatively impacting core metrics or the customer experience. This is a hands-on role for a subject matter expert based remotely in the United States.
What you'll be doing
  • Conduct analysis and deep dives on complex risk problems for our business. Identify clear, actionable insights and recommendations that directly inform the organization's decision making.
  • Develop and execute comprehensive strategies for mitigating ATO and other fraud risks.
  • Implement real-time fraud defenses that adapt to evolving threats using technologies like behavioral biometrics, device intelligence, and machine learning models.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional product, engineering and data science teams to achieve high-impact security and trust objectives.
  • Develop secure user experiences that maintain trust while ensuring quick, seamless access and recovery for legitimate users.
  • Lead incident response efforts by managing workstreams during significant fraud events and organizing post-mortem initiatives.

What we look for in you
  • 7+ years of hands-on risk experience in e-commerce or financial services.
  • 4+ years of direct experience combating account takeover (ATO) and scams in a Fraud, Trust & Safety, Risk, or Account Security role.
  • Strong analytical skills, with a proven ability to analyze large datasets and drive investigations from raw data.
  • Professional experience using SQL and Python.
  • Proficiency with business intelligence and data visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, etc).
  • Proven ability to independently scope and deliver complex analytics projects while collaborating effectively with cross-functional partners.
  • Excellent communication skills with a knack for storytelling; able to turn data into actionable insights for stakeholders at all levels.
  • An understanding of blockchain analytics and/or fraud trends within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
  • Experience mentoring junior analysts or providing technical guidance on complex projects.
  • BA/BS degree in a quantitative field (ex Math, Stats, Physics, or Computer Science) or equivalent practical experience.
  • Demonstrates our core cultural values: clarity, positive energy, continuous learning, and efficient execution.
