Specialist, Coinbase Derivatives & International Exchange

About the Role

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.

The Specialist, CDE & INTX, will be a member of a 24/7 Market Operation team supporting 2 Exchanges. The Specialist will be expected to work independently to troubleshoot a wide variety of issues impacting the exchanges and our clients. More complex issues will require the analyst to engage cross-functional Coinbase teams to effectively resolve the issue(s). This role will also require the Specialist to engage in deployment testing, ensuring that our deployments will not adversely affect our production environments.

• Provide functional and technical support for all electronic trading, clearing systems, and applications

• Exchange operations and product knowledge of listed futures and/or options with experience in error trade analysis and resolution.
• Remain informed with current market events and industry trends
• Advanced troubleshooting skills and an ability to articulate difficult and complex problems and solutions to a broad range of audiences
• Ability to learn, document, and improve operational processes as we build out our platform
• Excellent analytic and organizational skills; not limited to questioning, call control, professionalism, and multitasking
• Experience with different channels of support, including voice, e-mail and/or chat.
• Adaptable to meet the evolving needs of a high-growth, fast paced, remote first organization

• Understanding of network protocols
