Type: Full-time
This role is designed for a seasoned compliance professional with at least 5 years of experience, specifically coming from a **Big 4 accounting** or high-growth FinTech background. You should be an expert in **SOX 404 IT frameworks** and feel confident auditing cloud-native environments (AWS). This isn't a "maintenance" role; it’s for a self-starter who can lead gap assessments, advise engineering teams on new product launches, and translate complex technical risks into clear reports for leadership. The compensation is highly competitive, starting at **$167,280/year**, plus equity and bonuses. While the role is **fully remote** (USA), it offers a hybrid-style connection through mandatory team offsites several times a year. You’ll be working in an "intense" culture that prioritizes high performance and "onchain" innovation, making it an excellent spot for someone who wants to influence the security standards of the crypto economy. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have a "Big 4" pedigree and are ready to move into a high-speed, 2nd-line-of-defense role. * Are deeply familiar with AWS and how to audit automated, modern infrastructure. * Thrive in demanding environments where feedback is direct and the pace is relentless. * Hold a CISA or CISSP and want to apply those skills to the future of digital finance.
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](https://www.coinbase.com/mission) 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.
Coinbase stores more digital currency than any company in the world, making us a top tier target on the internet. Security is core to our mission and has been a key competitive differentiator for us as we scale worldwide. Essential to scaling is building and running a security compliance program that reflects how we protect the data and assets in our care, to open the doors with customers, regulators, auditors, and other external stakeholders. If you love working with fast moving companies to grow and scale security compliance engines and create positive change across the business, we’d like to speak with you about joining our team. Coinbase is looking for a Security Compliance Senior Analyst to drive the second line of defense IT SOX initiatives and help mature the IT SOX program.
