Job description

Overview

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.

Threat Intelligence Role

Security is a primary competency at Coinbase, and the Threat Intelligence team within Security Operations keeps a watchful eye over every aspect of it. Every day, we go to battle against some of the most sophisticated attackers in the world to protect billions of dollars worth of digital assets and ensure that our customers and employees can enjoy a safe, trusted experience. As Coinbase scales globally, our team is scaling along with it, using a blend of tooling, automation, and strategic team growth to ensure that we’re well-equipped to protect the next billion users of crypto.

Responsibilities

• Develop and integrate external and internal enrichments and power-ups with Vertex Synapse


• Collect and support stakeholder intelligence needs through tool development within Vertex Synapse to satisfy collection management requirements


• Quickly create and fine-tune tools to improve security operations processes and ensure the tools integrate into data processing pipelines


• Enhance the efficiency of processes within Vertex Synapse related to the collection, analysis, storage, tagging, and enrichment of indicators of compromise (IoCs) and associated data to improve the detection and mitigation of cyber threats


• Work closely with security operations teams to align on collection requirements and translate operational requirements into technical specifications

What we look for in you

• 3+ years of experience developing enrichments, automations, and tagging in threat intelligence platforms, specifically Vertex Synapse


• Technical proficiency in software development, including demonstrable experience in creating and maintaining security tools


• Exceptional analytical skills to dissect complex problems and synthesize actionable insights, supported by an ability to discover opportunities for unique data correlations


• Ability to rapidly prototype and iterate tool development to adapt to evolving threat intelligence needs


• Experience managing security telemetry data


• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset to work efficiently with cross-functional teams
