About this role
Coinbase's Threat Intelligence Platform Engineer role centers on operating and evolving Vertex Synapse, the production system that converts threat intelligence into actionable security controls across the company. You'll own platform health and operations while building integrations with new intelligence sources, managing data quality at scale, and shipping automations that feed detections, blocklists, and agent workflows. The work sits at the intersection of security operations and platform engineering—translating what threat analysts need into technical capabilities that protect billions in digital assets.
The role requires 2+ years operating threat intelligence or security data platforms in production, with solid software development skills in Python, Go, or Storm and hands-on CI/CD experience. You'll need a track record troubleshooting production incidents, modeling and lifecycle-managing threat indicators, and turning cross-functional security requirements into working systems. The job also values responsible use of generative AI to improve team efficiency and output quality.
Coinbase is remote-first but expects quarterly in-person "surge" sessions for intensive collaboration. The position offers a base salary of $144,500–$170,000 plus equity and bonus eligibility, with standard benefits. This suits someone who thrives owning critical infrastructure, enjoys rapid prototyping alongside security analysts, and wants to work on threats specific to the crypto ecosystem.
