Onchain Data Analyst & Researcher

Overview

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 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’s Unit 0x is a specialized on-chain investigations team at the forefront of securing the crypto ecosystem. We identify, analyze, and mitigate critical on-chain threats—including exploits and illicit activity—using advanced blockchain analytics and investigative techniques. Our mission-driven team protects both Coinbase and the broader web3 community from emerging risks.

As an Onchain Data Analyst & Researcher, you’ll lead challenging investigations into illicit activity, proactively research threat actors, and develop scalable methods to detect suspicious patterns. You’ll play a key role in high-risk incidents, special projects, and the continuous improvement of our investigative processes. Success in this role requires curiosity, strong blockchain data analysis skills, and a passion for uncovering and neutralizing threats.

If you thrive on solving complex problems with data and want to help shape a secure future for blockchain adoption, we want you on our team.

Onchain is the new online. Join us in building a secure future for the next billion users.
