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.
Benefit options available through Magnit Global, depending on contract factors and upon meeting requirements.
About the Role
The Product Security org at Coinbase is looking to hire a Product Security with a focus on AI security to work closely with engineers, ML practitioners, technical product managers and leadership on designing secure AI-powered products from the ground up.
In this role, you will partner with teams building AI-based services, and agentic automations to ensure that prompt flows, tool integrations, data access, and deployment architectures are secure by design. You will be responsible for performing security-focused architecture reviews, threat modeling, and security testing for LLM- and agent-driven features that will be used by millions of customers.
Key Responsibilities:
● Perform security design reviews and threat modeling of upcoming features and products.
● Analyze LLM and agentic AI architectures to identify security and abuse risks, and drive mitigations into design.
● Support AI-focused security testing for LLM and agentic systems (e.g., prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exfiltration, training-data and model extraction, unsafe autonomous actions).
● Perform security code reviews, identify security vulnerabilities, propose fixes and work with engineering on the implementation and deployment of bespoke mitigations.
● Identify top product risk areas and lead risk-reduction initiatives with cross-functional teams.
● Improve and/or automate existing product security and AI security processes to increase efficiency and coverage (e.g., building or tuning tooling, dashboards, or LLM-assisted analysis to help discover issues at scale).
● Support engineering teams through timely secure design consultations, vulnerability analysis, and bug fix verification.
● Improve and/or automate existing processes to increase efficiency.
Qualifications:
● A degree in Computer Science, Computer Systems Engineering, or a related field.
● 3+ years of experience performing security design reviews and threat modeling of products and features.
● Exposure to AI security, engineering, or adjacent capacity – for example, working with LLM APIs or frameworks, building RAG-based applications, or assessing risks in AI-powered features.
● Familiarity with agentic AI architectures
● Understanding of AI-specific attack vectors (e.g., prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exfiltration via model outputs, model or data poisoning, excessive or unsafe agent autonomy), and interest in staying current as these evolve.
● Understanding of AI Guardrails and how they can be used to obtain desired behavior from AI systems
● Expertise in Web and Network Security
● Exposure to Blockchain Security
● Experience in at least one of: Go, Ruby or Python.
● Strong communication skills
● Excellent problem-solving skills
● Ability to translate technical security requirements and risks into terms that anyone can understand.
● Ability to work independently and handle multiple tasks concurrently
