Software Engineer, Frontend - Risk Platform

Details

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.

The mission of the Risk Platform Team is to foster business growth by effectively managing financial risks impacting the business and its users. We build flexible, scalable, and customizable engineering systems to detect and prevent fraud, incorporating mechanisms for real-time, near-real-time, and scheduled workflows.

As a front-end engineer on the team, you will collaborate closely with Platform teams (Payments, Finhub, Identity) and Product teams to deliver a seamless user experience. Your responsibilities extend beyond front-end development, involving partnership with Analysts and Ops teams to uncover new fraud patterns that evade existing safeguards, as well as working with the Machine Learning team to develop and train models for fraud detection and prevention.

Job meta: Job #: GPFE05US, #LI-Remote. While roles are remote-first, in-person participation is required throughout the year (team and company offsites); attendance is expected.
