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 right person is passionate about automation, scripting, and building infrastructure as code. Willingness to “roll up their sleeves” while simultaneously planning for scale is critical to success with this role!

  • Partner across Coinbase to identify, evaluate, and resolve issues related to: M&A support, eDiscovery, compliance, and audit efforts across the IT organization
  • Support complex integrations across multiple systems to address our rapidly growing global remote workforce
  • Own documentation across system lifecycle
  • Function as a technical escalation point for the IT Operations organization and the greater business
  • Utilize observability and telemetry metrics to identify opportunities for automation

What We Look For In You:

  • 3+ years of experience managing enterprise system operations at scale
  • Enterprise experience with the following: Okta, Duo, Google Workspace
  • Experience with security tooling such as: SSO, MFA, certificate management, RBAC, directory services, and PAM
  • Experience procuring, configuring, and implementing of modern SaaS technology
  • Experience with scripting and API usage with Golang, Ruby, Python, UNIX shell, or PowerShell
  • Exposure to version control system
  • Clear communication--demonstrate ability to explain technical concepts simply
  • Self starter; possess a continuous learning mindset
  • Demonstrate critical thinking under pressure

Nice To Haves: 

  • Familiarity with open source configuration management systems (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • You are a thought leader in the industry and contribute to open-source projects
  • Mentoring junior team members across the organization.
