Ready to be pushed beyond what you think youu2019re capable of? At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. Itu2019s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform u2014 and with it, the future global financial system. To achieve our mission, weu2019re 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 companyu2019s hardest problems. Our [work culture](is intense and isnu2019t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, thereu2019s no better place to be.

Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported. At Coinbase, identity and access controls are foundational to protecting customer funds, sensitive data, and the trust that underpins our position as the world's most trusted crypto platform. The Identity and Access Management (IAM) program, housed within Security, is a cross-functional team that designs, builds, and governs workforce identity services, privileged access controls, and automated governance across a complex and rapidly evolving technology ecosystem and regulatory landscape. This role serves as a senior technical leader within the IAM program, partnering with Engineering, IT, Platform, and business teams to architect and deliver identity solutions that balance zero-trust security with workforce enablement, reduce insider risk, and satisfy global regulatory requirements. What youu2019ll be doing (ie. job duties): Lead the architectural vision and security engineering execution for Coinbaseu2019s Identity and Access Management (IAM) and workforce security platforms across our multi-cloud infrastructure, extensive third-party SaaS ecosystem, and internally developed applications.
