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.About the Role Coinbase's Risk AI/ML team is on a mission to make Coinbase the most trusted and easy-to-use platform in crypto.

Own the System: Take full ownership of the end-to-end ML systems for Risk, from feature engineering and model development to live production monitoring and performance. Senior Stakeholder Management: Serve as the primary AI/ML voice for the Risk domain, collaborating with VPs and Directors in Product, Engineering, and Operations to turn complex business problems into a tangible ML roadmap. Hire and Develop Talent: Work with our talent organization to attract, hire, and retain top-tier ML managers and engineers. What We Look For In You (Must Haves) Senior Management Experience: 10+ years of working experience in machine learning and 5+ years of ML/engineering management experience, with at least 2 years of experience managing other managers (managing through others). Deep Risk Domain Expertise: Proven experience and deep domain knowledge in the Risk, Fraud or Trust & Safety space. You have a track record of building ML systems to combat adversarial behavior (e.g., fraud, scams, account takeover, payment risk). Strategic Leadership: Experience setting a multi-quarter strategic roadmap for multiple ML teams and interfacing with senior-level (VP/Director) partners to drive business outcomes. Technical Credibility: Strong technical background in modern machine learning techniques and platforms (e.g., supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, MLOps, and common ML platforms like Tensorflow/PyTorch). Hiring & Team Building: A strong track record of hiring and developing top-performing ML managers and engineers. Execution Focus: An execution-focused mindset with a proven ability to navigate ambiguity, break down complex problems, and lead a large organization to deliver results.
