Senior Security Analyst, Insider Threat
Remote - USA
We’re Coinbase. We’re the world’s most trusted way to join the crypto revolution, serving more than 89 million accounts in more than 100 countries.
Our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people. We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web 3.0 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.
There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Finally, we seek people who are excited to learn about and live crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We’re a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.
Ready to #LiveCrypto? Who you are:
- You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there.
- You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0.
- You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
- You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
- You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
- You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.
Security Operations Team
Security is a primary competency at Coinbase, and the Security Operations team keeps a watchful eye over every aspect of it. Every day, we go to battle against some of the most sophisticated attackers in the world to protect billions of dollars worth of digital assets and ensure that our customers and employees can enjoy a safe, trusted experience. As Coinbase scales globally, the Security Operations team is scaling along with it, using a blend of tooling, automation, and strategic team growth to ensure that we’re well-equipped to protect the next billion users of crypto.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
The Security Operations group is a multi-functional organization that includes CSIRT, Trust & Safety, Threat Intelligence, and Insider Threat. While no two days will end up looking the same, generally-speaking you’ll be responsible for the following things:
- Collaborating cross-functionally throughout the company (Security, Legal, HR, and Business Teams) to design, implement, and execute processes to safeguard our customers and company from potential insider risks and threat actors
- Serving as the ‘front line’ for detection efforts, reviewing alerts, escalating reports and analysis, and making recommendations for further investigation and mitigation efforts
- Analyzing and challenging security assumptions and identify vulnerabilities in technologies and processes...and then building the solutions to address them
- Supporting the team’s effort to educate our employees, contractors, and partners on the importance of being vigilant in their work and home security practices
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
Some security teams have strict requirements about certifications, degrees, years of experience, and things like that. Not us! We’re more interested in the unique perspectives and expertise you’ll bring to the team, rather than the acronyms on your resume. However, you’ll be much more likely to be successful in this role if these bullet points seem like a good description of you:
- 5+ years of combined experience with Insider Threat technologies (such as Security Information Event Management - SIEM, User Behavioral Analytics - UBA, Data Loss Prevention - DLP, SOAR) and an understanding of investigations and/or the intelligence cycle
- Experience with Information Security technologies (such as EDR tools, cloud security, scripting and query languages)
- Active awareness of the insider threat landscape and understanding of the legal, regulatory, and ethical considerations of working with sensitive information
- Discreet, thoughtful, and seek to coordinate systemic, cross functional solutions to mitigate risk
- Enjoy crafting and reviewing alerts, conducting analysis for improvements, and documenting findings
- Excellent written and verbal communication with ability to be concise, use estimative language, identify logical fallacy, and engage both technical and non-technical audiences
- Prefer to play as a team and want to engage with colleagues through 1on1s, presentations, and written products
- Understanding everyone makes mistakes. Your high degree of compassion means that your coworkers trust you to help tackle their security problems, because you never come across as judgmental or condescending
- Experience in highly analytical roles (both technical and non-technical) and ability to adapt to fast-paced and rapid change environments
- Undergraduate degree or higher
- Experience in financial sector a plus
Nice to haves:
- Bring a diverse perspective to the team: for example, maybe you took an unconventional route to get into your current security career
- Experience in one or more of the following areas: data protection, risk management, counterintelligence, fraud detection, intellectual property theft, access and identity management, security engineering, incident response
- You are familiar with blockchains, cryptocurrency, NFTs, Web3, and are eager to learn more
