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.

- Combine Eng details of the algo engine with stats and data expertise to come up with feasible solutions for Eng to make the algo better.
- Work with PMs to tie together new x-PG, and x-Product data into one holistic framework to optimize key financing product business metrics.
- Examples:
- Focus on outcomes not tools: Use a variety of frameworks and paradigms to identify the best-fit tools to deliver value.
- Examples:
- Develop new abstractions (e.g. UDFs, Python packages, dashboards) to support scalable data workflows/infra.

- Data Pipeline Development: Experience building, maintaining, and optimizing ETL/ELT pipelines, using modern tools like dbt, Airflow, or similar.
- Data Visualization: Proficiency in building polished dashboards using tools like Looker, Tableau, Superset, or Python visualization libraries (Matplotlib, Plotly).
- Development Tools: Familiarity with version control (GitHub), CI/CD, and modern development workflows.
- Data Architecture: Knowledge of modern data lake/warehouse architectures (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks) and transformation frameworks.
- Business Acumen: Ability to understand and address business challenges through analytics engineering.
- Data savvy: Familiarity with statistics and probability.
- Bonus Skills:
- Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP).
- Familiarity with Docker or Kubernetes.
