Staff Security Engineer, InfraSec

About Coinbase

Coinbase's mission is to increase economic freedom in the world by building the emerging onchain platform and the future global financial system.

Coinbase Infrastructure Security (InfraSec) is at the forefront of protecting the foundation of Coinbase's infrastructure and platform services. This role partners closely with engineering teams to design, implement, and automate cutting-edge security solutions across complex cloud and containerized environments.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, implement, and maintain security controls across multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, etc.), Kubernetes clusters, and containerized workloads (Docker)
• Develop secure-by-default patterns for infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and container orchestration platforms
• Write code in Go to automate security processes, enforce guardrails, and integrate security solutions
• Conduct security reviews of cloud architecture, data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks), and routing configurations to identify vulnerabilities and recommend improvements
• Partner with engineering teams to embed security into the design and deployment of platform services
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align security initiatives with business goals, balancing security, risk, and enablement
• Evaluate security needs during mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and ensure acquired companies are integrated into secure practices

Work Environment

While this role is remote-first, in-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment.
