Summary

As part of the InfoSec team at Coinbase, Security Services Group (SSG) is responsible for building and operationalizing key security controls and best practices around Identity and Access Management (IAM), IT Asset Management (ITAM), Data and Endpoint Security and Security Logging. In support of this mission, our team members build, integrate, and operate tools – both custom and off-the-shelf, that ensure that our internal systems and endpoints have the right access controls implemented, security policies applied, and logs collected. We’re looking for a unicorn: You are a hands-on Engineering Manager who is comfortable building backends and frontends alike, have a strong understanding of security best practices and is excited to lead a high performing team with a wide set of internal stakeholders. We are a remote first company, so being a self-starter who’s comfortable working independently and communicating asynchronously is key. The tools, processes and features you will help build will be used by every Coinbase employee, and will play a key role in keeping our and our customers’ crypto safe.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

1. Leading a high performing, mission driven and growing team of engineers where you will drive hiring exceptional talent, coaching and execution around that mission.
2. Architecting, designing, and building new tools, or key new features of existing tools, to meet evolving ITAM and Security Logging requirements. These tools will focus on enforcing the principle of least privilege, managing operational risk, and identifying suspicious behavior.
3. Implementing key security features, such as role-based access control and multi-party approval capabilities, that help prevent access abuse and misuse.
4. Collaborating with a variety of stakeholders, including Platform and Product teams, Security Engineering, Security Operations, and Compliance teams, on cross-functional requirements, joint projects and driving adoption.
5. As an engineering leader in SSG org, raise the bar in engineering excellence and mentor junior engineers.

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

1. You have 8+ years of experience in developing scalable and efficient systems and user interfaces. You know when to use Mongo and when to use Snowflake, and you wonder why any APIs still use XML or CSV when JSON exists.
2. You have 4+ years of experience managing a team of 5+ engineers driving challenging, enterprise scale projects.
3. You’re an experienced developer who knows how to work with stakeholders, design scalable systems, write secure software and is comfortable working independently.
4. While we aren’t looking for a security expert for this role, we need someone who’s familiar with threats and security best practices, as these drive our software development and integration use cases.
5. Experience in developing in Go, Ruby, Python, and React as well as experience working with Database and scalable, complex SQL Queries.

Nice to haves:

1. Experience driving Kubernetes based projects deployed to AWS.
2. Knowledge in AI and Crypto is a plus.
