We’re seeking a passionate candidate who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to transform the financial system. The ideal candidate is eager to leave their mark, thrives under pressure, actively seeks feedback, and is committed to solving complex problems.

Our work culture is intense and not for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside high-caliber colleagues who excel in their disciplines, Coinbase is the place for you.

We are looking for a Staff Machine Learning Engineer to revolutionize how we optimize our operations using ML and GenAI. This role offers a unique opportunity to apply the latest advances in ML to real-world problems impacting millions of users and the future of digital finance.

Our AI teams focus on building intelligent systems that protect our platform while ensuring a seamless experience for legitimate users. We aim to automate traditional tasks like manual document review and risk assessment with scalable, state-of-the-art machine learning solutions.

Responsibilities include:

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of industry experience in Machine Learning or PhD + 5 years.
• Experience with Payment Risk, Credit Risk, or Account Take Over models.
• MS in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or related field (PhD preferred).
• Strong developer skills, leveraging auto-code generation for scalable applications.
• Expertise in modern ML techniques (DNNs, transformers, LLMs, classification).
• Experience deploying ML systems at scale.
• Ability to balance model complexity with production requirements.
• Effective communication skills for working with domain experts.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with financial regulatory requirements.
• Knowledge of crypto/blockchain technology.
