We’re Coinbase. We’re the world’s most trusted way to join the crypto revolution, serving more than 89 million accounts in more than 100 countries. 

Our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people. We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web 3.0 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Finally, we seek people who are excited to learn about and live crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We’re a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.

Ready to #LiveCrypto? Who you are:

  • You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there. 
  • You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0. 
  • You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
  • You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
  • You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
  • You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

  • Serve as a strategic research partner for the Growth product and design teams
  • Act as primary point of contact for all team research needs—from large foundational and generative projects to evaluative, tactical, and investigative quick wins
  • Coordinate and conduct mixed-methods research, including interviews, usability testing, concept testing, surveys, fieldwork, and other methods as needed
  • Provide thoughtful guidance and education to stakeholders to turn vague business needs into actionable research questions
  • Partner with other researchers on larger strategic research initiatives and internal team process

What we look for in you

  • 7+ years of user research experience, preferably with some experience in a lead role or primary point of contact for a large product area with many stakeholders
  • Experience working with top-of-funnel related teams, e.g. conversion or logged out
  • Experience with all common user research methods, skilled at selecting the right tool for the job
  • Can successfully manage project prioritization and multiple stakeholder relationships independently
  • Experience with usertesting.com & unmoderated testing
  • Provides both confident team leadership and patient guidance to a range of stakeholder levels, including guiding designers and PMs through their own research
  • Strong business mindset, with an eye on KPIs and company strategy
  • Adaptability, with a willingness to abandon methodological perfectionism
  • Excellent hustle—our industry moves at lightning speed—supporting several projects at a time
  • Easily communicates complex concepts, with ability to influence others
  • Collaborative attitude, team mentality, and humility without territorialism
  • A learner’s mindset, seeing feedback as a chance to grow
  • No knowledge of cryptocurrency required!

  • Experience managing research vendors
  • Experience with market research
  • Experience working with content/editorial/marketing
