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 interns to join the User Research team to understand user needs for existing products like Coinbase Cloud and tools for developers. You will contribute to unique, large scale, highly complex product problems, and help researchers, designers, and product managers craft thoughtful experiences to help enable all people to engage with the crypto economy. You don’t need to be an expert on cryptocurrency to join — a basic knowledge of cryptocurrency and Coinbase’s role is requested, plus an interest in learning more.
This is a 12-week internship during summer 2026.
Responsibilities
- Work on one or more research projects with other researchers, designers, and product managers to investigate a product problem or area.
- Learn how to plan and execute research to solve complex and ambiguous product problems.
- Craft one or more research reports to clearly communicate findings and make impactful design and product recommendations for the team.
Requirements
- Actively seeking a career in user research.
- Working knowledge of general research principles (experimental design, bias, confounds, etc.) and UX research principles (usability testing, design thinking, etc.).
- Self-motivated and committed to personal growth.
- Approach problems with positive energy.
Nice to Haves
- Currently pursuing a degree or certificate in a research-related field or pursuing user research extracurricularly while enrolled in a Bachelor’s program.
- Enjoy thinking about how people interact with products, with a natural curiosity to understand others’ mental models and motivations.
Application Requirements
- Final report from a past research project (school, bootcamp, consulting/extracurricular). Upload as a document; Coinbase is interested in how you communicate findings and how research goals influenced methodology, execution, and recommendations.
- Resume including previous work and/or educational experiences.
