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, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.
Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.
As a Compliance Senior Program Manager at Coinbase, you'll lead the charge in helping us build a world-class Compliance programs organization while ensuring that we meet our mission to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone.

With your expertise in AML compliance, operations, and supporting First Line Functions, you'll be the architect behind building and documenting scalable technology solutions that maintain local regulatory compliance requirements while optimizing the customer experience. You will also be working closely with our Legal and Financial Crimes and Compliance teams to ensure our policies and procedures align with the latest industry best practices.

- You will be designing, program managing and documenting key AML controls to support First Line Compliance Operations and Technology to scale.
- You will predominantly focus on AI / ML automation initiatives, to defend the use of technology to regulators whilst ensuring local regulations are met and technology is used in a risk-based manner.
- You will work with Compliance, Legal, Operations and Technology teams to implement industry standard best practices in First Line teams.
- You will own the business requirements documentation and subsequent artifacts for AML First Line Controls.
- You will utilize an in-depth understanding of metrics, reporting and risk to propose recommendations for how risk-based decisions can be applied at Coinbase.
