Data Scientist II - Institutional

About Us

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. We're building the emerging onchain platform and with it, the future global financial system. Our work culture is intense and demands the best of us every day. We're seeking people passionate about our mission who believe in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system, who are eager to leave their mark on the world, and who actively seek feedback to keep leveling up.

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.

The Role

Data Science is an integral component of Coinbase's product and decision making process. We work in partnership with Product, Engineering and Design to influence the roadmap and better understand our users. With deep expertise in experimentation, analytics and advanced modeling, we produce insights which directly move the company's bottom line.

We're looking for a Data Scientist II to join our Institutional team. As a Senior Data Scientist on this team, you'll support building the foundations for the Coinbase Institutional business. You'll build models and frameworks to explore fee schedules on our exchanges, analyze and improve existing frameworks around Prime Broker Trading and Financing offerings, and get involved in efforts such as Custody, Web3, and Staking to help onboard Institutions in their DeFi journey, among other impactful and exciting projects.

• Experience driving impact for a digital product with an iterative development cycle.
• Understanding of statistical concepts and practical experience applying them (in A/B testing, causal inference, machine learning, etc.).
• Experience in data analysis using SQL.

• Demonstration of our core cultural values: clear communication, positive energy, continuous learning, and efficient execution.
