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, who relishes working with high-caliber colleagues, seeks feedback to keep leveling up, and is excited to solve hard problems. The team is remote-first but not remote-only — in-person participation is required throughout the year for team and company-wide offsites.
The Growth organization builds and leverages growth tools across multiple avenues, including referral and incentives programs, a world-class notifications system, a dynamic logged-out web experience, and optimized new user onboarding.
