Information Security Officer

Job description
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. As part of this role, you would be joining the dedicated Security team supporting our Institutional business lines and helping to create a secure user experience for our customers. 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.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
• Manage the Information security program for our APAC entities
• Operate core security processes supporting our Coinbase products used by our APAC entities
• Evaluate and improve operational processes to enhance security and product usability
• Execute data analysis to evaluate effectiveness of our security product initiatives, and identify opportunities to better achieve our goals.
• Policy and risk management documentation and design
• Analysis and implementation of regulatory requirements as our covered entities continue to expand
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
• You are an expert at designing and improving operational processes to increase efficiency at scale
• You are highly skilled at evaluating and reporting on data for large scale initiatives, including at an executive level
• Ability to communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders in order to drive cross-functional alignment
• Continuous learning mindset to stay on top of emerging threats and technologies with a willingness to apply processes unique to the challenges at Coinbase
• Technical understanding of backend engineering architectures
• Experience with SQL, ideally in Snowflake or a similar platform
Nice to haves:
• Experience with Looker, or another business intelligence visualization platform
• Experience working in a high security and/or highly regulated industry
• Knowledge of multi-party computation, cryptography, or key management best practices
• Bachelor's degree in Information Security, Computer Science, Engineering or a related technical field
ID: P6+4+3

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.
