Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.” learn more about working at Coinbase.

This is a 12-week internship during summer 2027.

Join the Credit Risk team within the Financial & Operational Risk subteam of Finance. You'll support the underwriting, monitoring, and analysis of counterparty and asset-level credit risk across Coinbase's global institutional client base. Working alongside risk professionals and product teams, you'll gain hands-on experience evaluating complex exposures in digital asset lending and trading, and your work will directly inform credit decisions and risk reporting for leadership.

What you'll do:

Underwrite institutional counterparties, including hedge funds, asset managers, corporates, market makers, and banking and payment providers, recommending internal credit ratings and risk-based limits with written substantiation.

Monitor trading and bank partner exposures on an ongoing basis, conducting periodic portfolio reviews and flagging concentration risks or emerging trends to leadership.

Analyze asset volatility and liquidity risks on a per-asset and portfolio basis to support lending and trading product decisions.

Collaborate with product, sales, operations, and legal teams to resolve client or product challenges and deliver risk-informed solutions.

Research industry trends, regulatory developments, and crypto market dynamics to contribute to the team's thought leadership and continuous improvement.
