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.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.

Coinbase Ventures invests in exceptional founders who share Coinbase’s mission of creating more economic freedom for the world. We develop research and insights at the edges of onchain innovation, invest in early stage teams / projects in the crypto/web3 ecosystem, and support our portfolio of over 400 companies around the world.

  • Support all aspects of the Ventures portfolio management, including:
    • Keep up to date on investment holdings – product development, major updates, tokenomics, etc.

  • Be an external presence in the crypto ecosystem, building connective tissue with founders, investors, and technical subject matter experts
  • Look at CBV’s existing portfolio and propose onchain strategies to deploy CBV’s token holdings with an acceptable risk / reward
  • Drive liquid token investments by building a sound investment thesis on the token / protocol (i.e. building long term position in a liquid token)
  • Drive select special projects to continually improve and upgrade Coinbase Ventures operational platform and processes (i.e., “firm building”)

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

  • 3+ years of experience in a highly analytical business role (e.g., investment banking, management consulting, VC/PE) focused on emerging technologies AND/OR technical building role (e.g., product, engineering) in crypto/web3
  • Demonstrated passion and understanding across the crypto landscape with strong points of view and emerging investment judgment.
  • Hands-on experience in crypto (i.e. building, trading, onchain yield strategies, etc). Understanding of token value accrual / tokenomics.
  • Excellent writing skills and ability to distill complex topics into clear, easy to understand messaging
  • Excellent organizational, analytic, problem solving, and communication skills
  • Affinity to network, develop ecosystem relationships, and publish thought leadership / content
  • Experience working with startup management teams and cross-functional execs, including product, engineering, legal, and finance

Nice to haves:

  • Experience evaluating infrastructure or consumer/application layer products and business models (crypto or web2)
  • Experience at top-tier venture capital firm and/or crypto specific company
  • Investing experience is a plus
  • Data Analysis and/or Engineering experience, preferably in or with blockchains (e.g., faculty with Dune, Nansen, other blockchain data tools)
