Internal Audit - SOX Senior Manager

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.
