Insider Threat Analyst

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.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties): 

• You’ll serve as the ‘front line’ for detection efforts,  prioritizing alert reviews, correlation, analysis, and recommendations for further investigation and mitigation efforts 
• You’ll  work with our investigators and engineers to identify, analyze, and document concerning  behaviors, refine our alerting, collect evidence, and review contextual data  
• You’ll dive deep into company systems to identify abuse and misuse to keep our customer information safe

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements): 

• You are discreet, thoughtful, and seek to secure our customers and company
• You have experience with Insider Threat technologies (such as Security Information Event Management - SIEM, User Behavioral Analytics - UBA, Data Loss Prevention - DLP, endpoint detection) and an understanding of investigations and/or the intelligence cycle
• You have excellent verbal and written communication skills. Other team members ask for your input to communicate clearly and concisely and you are comfortable composing briefs and assessments consumed by leadership
• You have experience with customer service tools,  financial analysis, and log analysis 
• You prefer to play as a team and are equally comfortable as the ‘novice’ or the ‘expert’ 
• You know that people make mistakes. Your high degree of empathy means that your coworkers trust you to help solve their security problems, because you never come across as judgmental or condescending.
• You are actively aware of the insider threat landscape, and understand the legal, regulatory, and ethical considerations of working with sensitive information and situations

Nice to haves:

• Security+, CISSP, or other security credentials
• You love analyzing data and  identifying disparities and trends
• You’ve got experience in one or more of the following areas: incident response, data protection, risk management, counterintelligence, investigations, fraud detection, financial crimes investigation, intellectual property theft, access and identity management, or IT engineering
• You are comfortable with a fast-paced tech environment and learn quickly
• You’re familiar with blockchains, cryptocurrency, and onchain projects (or at least a good story about how you thought about investing in Bitcoin in 2014 but decided not to).
