Details

Coinbase Corporate Security is seeking a Security Engineer to build and maintain security controls that protect corporate infrastructure, user devices, enterprise applications, and network communications. The role partners closely with IT and engineering teams to identify risks and ship tailored solutions that protect sensitive data and critical assets without introducing unnecessary friction.

Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Employees are expected to gather quarterly for in-person working sessions called “surges.”

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and maintain security solutions to harden Coinbase’s macOS, Chromebook, and mobile endpoints, focusing on secure configurations, compliance, threat detection, and user experience.
Perform security reviews on enterprise systems and software that support user productivity across the corporate environment.
Collaborate with cross-functional partners to integrate endpoint and SaaS security into broader corporate engineering initiatives.
Identify and close data exfiltration paths introduced by local AI agents and developer tooling, including coding assistants and LLM harnesses, running on corporate endpoints.
Provide technical guidance and code review support to engineers on the Corporate Security team.

Requirements

At least 3 years of experience in security engineering, including at least 2 years securing macOS or similar user endpoints in an enterprise environment.
Proven ability to write production code, including services, integrations, and automations, that supports corporate infrastructure security.
Experience scoping, prioritizing, and shipping security projects end-to-end with minimal direction in fast-moving environments.
Familiarity with device trust, zero trust network access, or endpoint communication security products such as Cloudflare, Prisma Access, or Zscaler.
Ability to use generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

Compensation

The annual base salary range is $152,405–$179,300 USD, excluding equity and bonus. Total compensation may also include equity, bonus eligibility, and benefits such as medical, dental, vision, and 401(k).
