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.

Data Science is an integral component of Coinbase’s product and decision making process: we work in partnership with Product, Engineering and Design to influence the roadmap and better understand our users. With a deep expertise in experimentation, analytics and advanced modeling, we produce insights and drive decisions which directly move the company’s bottom line.

We’re looking for an experienced manager to lead the Developer data science team, a fast growing area of the business that’s not only working on some of the most cutting edge web3 applications, but which is also critical to Coinbase’s mission of bringing one billion people onchain. They’ll work with their team to devise strategies to help grow the product, support a culture of experimentation, and hold a high bar for rigorous and analytical decision making.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties): 

  • Manage, mentor and grow a team of data scientists and build solid working partnerships with product teams
  • Act as a strategic thought partner to product teams and Coinbase executives; lead the team to execute on data-based analyses to help prioritize product opportunities and provide actionable recommendations 
  • Standardize best practices for analysis, modeling and experimentation; develop scalable processes to help the team solve pain points and meet goals
  • Design communication structure and cadence with team members; synthesize data learnings into compelling stories and communicate them throughout Coinbase
  • Act as the business metrics owner for performance management
  • Drive data team and organizational level initiatives to scale our insights through better systems and automation

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • BA / BS degree business, computer science, statistics, applied mathematics, or any scientific or computational degree
  • 5+ years of experience as a hands-on leader of a high-performing data science/analytics team
  • 10+ years of experience providing business insights and driving data science initiatives
  • Experience in both internal and external storytelling and executive presentations
  • Experience overseeing large, complex and cross-functional initiatives
  • Expertise with analytics tools, data visualization, SQL, R, or Python as applied to data science and analytics
  • Deep knowledge of data models and experimental design and execution
  • Excellent ability to communicate complicated and nuanced insights in accessible language to relevant stakeholders
  • Demonstrate our core cultural values: clear communication, positive energy, continuous learning, and efficient execution
  • Self-driven and able to create plans for analytics projects and  build collaboration within the team

Nice to haves:

  • Masters or PhD in computer science, statistics, applied mathematics, or any scientific or computational degree
  • Experience building causal inference models and overseeing synthetic experimentation
  • Domain experience in Fintech product and growth areas
  • Experience manipulating large amounts of structured and unstructured data
Pay Transparency Notice: Depending on your work location, the target annual salary for this position can range as detailed below. Full time offers from Coinbase also include target bonus + target equity + benefits (including medical, dental, vision and 401(k)).
Pay Range:
$243,865$286,900 USD

Please be advised that each candidate may submit a maximum of four applications within any 30-day period. We encourage you to carefully evaluate how your skills and interests align with Coinbase's roles before applying.
