Software Engineer, Frontend - Risk Platform

Details

At Coinbase we build the emerging onchain platform and aim to increase economic freedom worldwide. The Risk Platform team’s mission is to foster business growth by effectively managing financial risks impacting the business and its users. The team builds flexible, scalable, and customizable engineering systems to detect and prevent fraud, incorporating real-time, near-real-time, and scheduled workflows.

This role is front-end focused and works closely with Platform teams (Payments, Finhub, Identity), Product, Analysts, Ops, and the Machine Learning team to deliver trustworthy user experiences, uncover new fraud patterns, and build interfaces that are simple, performant and reliable. While Coinbase is remote-first, the company is not remote-only; in-person participation is required throughout the year (team and company offsites). Attendance is expected and supported.
