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, Coinbase is seeking a candidate who is passionate about crypto and blockchain technology, eager to leave their mark, comfortable with high-caliber colleagues, and receptive to feedback. The company's culture is intense; many roles are remote-first but not remote-only, and in-person participation is required throughout the year (team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually).

Data Science at Coinbase partners with Product, Engineering, and Design to influence roadmap decisions and improve user understanding. The team focuses on experimentation, analytics, and advanced modeling to produce insights that impact the company's bottom line.

Responsibilities

• Act as a strategic partner to functional teams: initiate and execute deep analyses and models to prioritize opportunities and provide actionable recommendations.
• Design and guide experiments/analysis to measure impact and drive product improvements.
• Measure business performance, develop/refine core metrics, and create reporting to understand and monitor them.
• Synthesize data learnings into compelling stories and communicate them throughout Coinbase and to senior executives.
• Conduct deep dives to help solve complex problems and drive business impact.
• Initiate, develop, and maintain data pipelines with outstanding craftsmanship.

Requirements

• BA / BS degree in a quantitative field (e.g., Math, Stats, Physics, or Computer Science) with 5+ years relevant experience, or a PhD in a related field with 2+ years of relevant experience.
• Ability to independently create plans for projects and a track record of overseeing large/complex analytical projects spanning multiple teams.
• Understanding of statistical concepts and practical experience applying them (A/B testing, causal inference, ML, etc.).
• Experience in data analyses using SQL.
• Experience in programming/modeling in Python.
• Demonstration of core cultural values: clear communication, positive energy, continuous learning, and efficient execution.

Nice to haves

• Data engineering skills and a willingness to do lower-level work to improve data foundations as needed.

Compensation and Pay Transparency
