Coinbase

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people.

Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves.

You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.

Security Operations Team

Security is a primary competency at Coinbase, and the Security Operations team 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.

What you’ll be doing:

The Security Operations group is a multi-functional organization that includes our CSIRT, Trust & Safety, Insider Threat, and Threat Intelligence. While no two days will end up looking the same, generally-speaking you’ll be responsible for the following things:

You’ll serve as the first line of response when a security alert needs to be triaged, and lead the incident response/ management as needed.
If something happens twice, you’ll write a runbook for it. If it happens three times, you’ll figure out a way to automate that runbook and clearly define the requirement for automation.
You’ll partner with teams across SecOps on some of our attacker investigations to build effective monitoring strategies
You’ll have a clear communication strategy and be able to assist with Coinbase emerging Web3 launches around the lines of Incident Response and Threat Detection.
This role requires you to be part of the 24/7 team on a rotational basis with counterparts in multiple time zones.
You’ll lead a culture of excellence by mentoring peers and sharing knowledge.
You’ll collaborate with cross functional teams like engineering, product development, compliance to ensure timely Incident Response.
What we look for in you:

Some security teams have strict requirements about certifications, degrees, years of experience, and things like that. Not us! We’re more interested in the unique perspectives and expertise you’ll bring to the team, rather than the acronyms on your resume. However, you’ll be much more likely to be successful in this role if these bullet points seem like a good description of you:

You’ve been doing practical security things (incident response, alert triaging, investigating and performing network/host forensics) for a while now, probably in the realm of 3+ years.
You understand the fundamentals of networking and operating systems (Windows, Linux, MAC).
You have got a knack for identifying threats and measuring coverage / visibility across a vast amount of log sources - Cloud, SaaS, Container Environment, MnAs log sources.
You are good in understanding and analyzing multitude of artifacts across network and host level
You consider “Automation as a Force Multiplier”, you prefer spending time in building automation so you don’t have to do manual work tasks.
You frequently get praise from your peers and coworkers about your communication skills, both written and verbal.
Your high degree of empathy means that your coworkers trust you to help solve their security problems, because you never come across as judgmental or condescending.
Nice to haves:

You would bring a diverse perspective to the team: for example,  maybe you took an unconventional route to get into your current security career.
You’ve got a passing familiarity with blockchains and cryptocurrency, or at least a good story about how you thought about investing in Bitcoin in 2014 but decided not to.
You’re comfortable doing some basic scripting if demand arises
You are good at reviewing alerts at scale, adhering to processes / runbooks and suggest improvements to facilitate cross team collaboration 
You’ve got some experience with handling alerts from multiple security platforms (SIEM, Threat Intel to name a few)
You‘ve got some experience doing initial triage and response in the cloud based environments
