Data Science

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people. We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web3 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Most importantly, we seek people who are excited about crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We’re a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.

Who you are:

  • You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there.
  • You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0.
  • You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
  • You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
  • You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
  • You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

Data Science is an integral component of Coinbase’s product and decision making process: we work in partnership with Product, Engineering and Design to influence the roadmap and better understand our users. With a deep expertise in experimentation, analytics and advanced modeling, we produce insights which directly move the company’s bottom line.

Specifically, we’re looking for a Staff Data Scientist to join our Retail Trading Team. In this role, you’ll take charge of pricing experimentation and play a pivotal role in determining our pricing strategy: you’ll spearhead testing design and analysis, find opportunities to improve engagement and our bottom line, and communicate your ideas to execs and leaders across the company.

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

  • Act as a strategic partner and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to develop pricing vision, roadmap and priorities
  • Design and develop pricing models and their evaluation framework to determine optimal pricing strategy
  • Develop causal models to help isolate the impact of fee changes using experiments and observational data
  • Initiate, develop, and maintain data pipelines and data models with outstanding craftsmanship
  • Synthesize findings, and recommendations in a clear and concise manner and communicate to senior leadership

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

  • Demonstration of our core cultural values: clear communication, positive energy, continuous learning, and efficient execution.
  • PhD preferred, or a Master’s degree in a field such as Economics or Statistics with 6+ years of relevant experience.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in pricing experimentation, data analysis and statistical modeling
  • Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, R, or other programming languages used for data analysis and statistical modeling
  • Ability to independently create plans for analytics projects and a track record of overseeing large / complex analytical projects spanning multiple teams
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to explain complex data and analysis to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to work under tight deadlines

Nice to haves:

  • Experience applying causal inference techniques outside of controlled experiments
  • Experience working at or on a Crypto-focused company or at a crypto exchange
