Software Engineer, Security
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.
The Application Security organization at Coinbase is seeking to hire an experienced Software Engineer to design, implement, and deploy baseline security solutions to improve the security of all Coinbase apps and services. In this role, you will collaborate closely with engineering teams, product managers, and security engineers to embed security best practices throughout the software development lifecycle to efficiently remediate classes of security vulnerabilities at scale.
What you’ll be doing:
- Design, implement and deploy baseline security controls to secure all of Coinbase apps and services.
- Design, implement and deploy security guardrails to eliminate classes of security vulnerabilities at scale.
- Build automation to scale the security review process.
- Support strategic security initiatives focused on improving overall security maturity and efficiency through automation.
What we look for in you:
- A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience in software development
- Experience with designing and implementing automated tools in Python or Go.
- Proficiency in designing and implementing solutions across various technology stacks and cloud environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively articulate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Nice to haves:
- Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field.
- AI security experience.
- Experience with building security-related systems.
- Experience with threat modeling methodologies and security design reviews, used to inform system development.
- Experience with Web3 security concepts, blockchain technologies, and smart contract security.
