- Partner with Engineering, SRE, Security, and Finance to align infrastructure investments with business priorities, optimize cloud spend, and ensure infrastructure services meet regulatory and compliance requirements across all operating jurisdictions
- Shape how Coinbase's product and engineering teams consume infrastructure by building self-serve capabilities, defining service standards, and reducing the overhead required for teams to deploy and operate reliable services at scale

Our take
Coinbase has built a reputation as one of the most accessible entry points into the world of cryptocurrency. With features like crypto wallets, direct bank account linking, and merchant payment tools, it's helping bring crypto into the mainstream. But the company isn't just relying on its early success, it's evolving fast to stay relevant in a rapidly changing market.
For example, its doubled down on institutional clients, now serving as the custodian for the majority of approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Its Prime platform also offers a full suite of services for hedge funds, asset managers, and financial institutions. As demand for regulated crypto products rise globally (particularly in Asia), Coinbase is ready to expand.
Its also making moves to engage with younger audiences, by partnering with Riot Games to sponsor global eSports events for League of Legends and Valorant. This partnership highlights Coinbase's strategy to integrate Web 3.0 technologies into mainstream entertainment, aiming to bridge the gap between gaming and cryptocurrency for a new generation of users.
