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. Team Paragraph: Join Coinbase's Internal Audit team as an IT Manager and own end-to-end delivery of complex IT and security audits across our cloud infrastructure, security operations, and crypto-native systems. We're looking for someone who brings hands-on experience with modern cloud infrastructure, security operations, and AI-enabled workflows, ideally from a fast-paced, engineering-driven environment. Reporting to the IT Audit Senior Manager, you'll shape how we audit and drive continuous modernization of our approach. This role requires deep technical credibility, strong EQ to partner effectively across Engineering and Security, and a genuine AI-forward mindset. What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties) Own end-to-end delivery of IT and security audits, from risk assessment and scoping through planning, fieldwork, testing, reporting, and issue validation—covering cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP), security operations, identity and access management, data protection, IT asset management, vendor/third-party risk, and key in-scope products and services including blockchain infrastructure, centralized and self-hosted wallets, and cold storage. Drive AI-enabled audit execution, designing and implementing data analytics, automation, and Generative AI solutions to modernize how we audit (e.g., continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, automated evidence retrieval, AI-assisted workpaper drafting)—while maintaining rigorous human-in-the-loop validation to ensure accuracy and audit-quality conclusions. Execute audits aligned with the multi-year IT and security audit roadmap, coordinating coverage with co-sourced partners and cross-functional risk initiatives while ensuring alignment with Coinbase's enterprise risk profile, technology strategy, and regulatory expectations across regions (US, EMEA, APAC). Drive high-quality, risk-based findings and executive-level reporting, distilling key themes, emerging risks, and root causes into clear, concise materials for senior management and the Chief Audit Executive—ensuring findings are appropriately documented and supported by evidence. Partner with technology and security leadership across Engineering, Security, Infrastructure, Product, and Operations to build trusted relationships, challenge control design, and advise on pragmatic, risk-based, scalable remediation while maintaining third-line independence. Drive disciplined issue management, ensuring timely, risk-based remediation by management, high-quality root cause analysis, and validation of remediation activities—escalating delays or thematic concerns to senior leadership as needed. Evaluate and develop talent, assessing candidates and helping build a high-performing, technically credible audit team. What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): 7+ years of experience in IT/security internal audit, technology risk, or first-line security/engineering roles with significant controls exposure. Experience working in a fast-paced, cloud-native, or engineering-driven environment where technology and security practices evolve rapidly. Hands-on audit experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), including IAM policies, security configurations, logging/monitoring, and CI/CD pipelines. You've done real IT and security testing, not just controls walkthroughs. AI-forward mindset with demonstrated experience applying Python, SQL, or AI tools to audit or security work, building workflows rather than just prompting. We will probe deeply on this. Relevant professional certifications (e.g., CISA, CISSP, CIA, CISM) required; CPA or CFE a plus. Working knowledge of key frameworks such as NIST CSF, COBIT, SOC 2, and ITIL High EQ and collaborative style. You build
