We’re Coinbase. We’re the world’s most trusted way to join the crypto revolution, serving more than 89 million accounts in more than 100 countries.

Our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people. We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web 3.0 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Finally, we seek people who are excited to learn about and live crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We’re a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.

Ready to #LiveCrypto? Who you are:

  • You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there.
  • You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0.
  • You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
  • You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
  • You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
  • You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

Our vision is to bring innovation, efficiency, and equality of opportunity to the world by building an open financial system. Our first step on that journeyis making digital currency accessible and approachable for everyone. Two principles guide our efforts. First, be the most trusted company in our domain. Second, create user-focused products that are easy and delightful to use.

Understanding how crypto-assets move between entities is a pillar to executing our vision as we aim to be the most trusted company in our domain. Our product empowers our compliance and investigations teams to make sure our users are protected from bad actors. We also help product teams make data-driven decisions by analysing the crypto-asset movements to/from Coinbase and execute more efficiently.

Our team provides APIs and user interfaces to interact with the blockchain data. We tackle unique and brand new sets of challenges laying the groundwork to shape the blockchain analytics space. As cryptocurrencies gain more adoption, the incredible potential of this market is being unlocked.

We dig deep into various blockchain technologies to understand their intricacies and improve our product continuously. You will be responsible for leading the research on adding new blockchain technologies into the Coinbase Analytics platform. This requires a deep understanding of different types of protocols, identifying the transaction patterns of addresses on different networks and finding external data sources to validate these hypotheses programmatically.

In our team, we value positive energy, clear communication and we are committed to building an inclusive environment for people from every background.

  • Prototype new blockchain analytics, using machine learning or rule based models to enhance Coinbase's understanding of fund movements on the blockchain
  • Maintain clear documentation, data dictionaries, runbooks and code/scripts of on-chain data models and heuristics to collaborate with other data scientists and engineers effectively
  • Work closely with the Crypto team and asset developers to provide blockchain analytics support for key assets on the platform.
  • Build basic ETL pipelines to productionize models and on-chain metrics
  • Keep the engineering team up to date with protocol changes, developments and forks, as well as novel transaction patterns seen on the assets we support
  • Discover and add new effective data sources that complement existing heuristics to improve our data coverage and quality

Requirements

  • 5 years of relevant experience
  • Experience developing methods and programs to parse, process, analyze, and comprehend large data sets
  • Experience in data analyses using SQL
  • Familiarity with a scripting language such as Python
  • Ability to pick up complex subjects and clearly communicate to the rest of the team
  • Familiarity with major blockchain technologies and technical developments in the ecosystem
