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 [https://www.coinbase.com/mission] 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 Security team’s goal is to identify, measure, manage, mitigate, and report
risk associated with products to keep our customer’s funds and data safe. As a
Program Manager in the Security Programs team, you will work with the Security
organization to build and drive meaningful business and security outcomes
through complex XFN programs while empowering our engineering/product teams to
act as owners of security risk. If you’re passionate about solving security
problems at scale and want to join a fast-paced team helping to protect billions
of dollars worth of digital assets and maintain our reputation, then we’d like
to talk to you.
The Security Programs team aims to be “cohesive tissue” for critical initiatives
as a strategic partner with the Security team and broader business to drive
security outcomes. We are tasked with maintaining an objective view of
cross-functional initiatives, and helping leaders across the organization ensure

those initiatives ultimately mitigate risk. Our team is composed of Project
Managers, Program Managers, and Technical Program Managers who work

document opportunities, challenges, and risks related to traditional and
novel Security domains.

and quantitative factors, including the identification of key risk indicators

short term and long term goals
- Managing change across complex multi-quarter programs
