Back to All Jobs

At Coinbase, our mission is toincrease economic freedom around the world (https://blog.coinbase.com/our-mission-strategy-and-culture-18a92a3bb0fa) , 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 Web3 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 aculture (https://blog.coinbase.com/culture-at-coinbase-f0e1c2a99aff) like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to ourmission-focused approach (https://blog.coinbase.com/coinbase-is-a-mission-focused-company-af882df8804) to our work. Most importantly, we seek people who are excited about 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.

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 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.
