About this role

▸about Coinbase — company background

Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and we like it that way. This isn't a place for complacency, it’s a place to be pushed past your perceived limits. If you're ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for "good enough," you belong here. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.” learn more about working at Coinbase.

Coinbase's FP&A & Treasury organization manages financial planning and analysis across 60+ global subsidiaries, period-end close, GL reconciliation, intercompany eliminations, regulatory filings, budgeting, forecasting, and treasury operations. This role sits directly inside the Office of the CTO, embedded as a founding engineer within Finance. You'll identify high-value workflow opportunities, rapidly prototype solutions using Coinbase's existing AI platform, and drive measurable adoption of AI tooling across the FP&A & Treasury org. You'll be the connective tissue between Finance stakeholders and the engineering teams who maintain Coinbase's AI platform, acting as advocate, translator, and builder in one.

What you'll do:

Embed with FP&A and Treasury leadership to surface the automation opportunities with the greatest business leverage — developing ground-level understanding of workflows like period-end close, variance analysis, and liquidity stress-testing before writing a single line of code.

Prototype quickly and pragmatically using Coinbase's existing AI platform as the default foundation before recommending net-new builds.

Own the Finance automation roadmap in partnership with the VP of FP&A & Treasury, translating complex financial workflows — budgeting cycles, GL reconciliation, multi-entity consolidation, regulatory filing drafts — into engineering requirements and engineering constraints back to stakeholders clearly.

Define the build-vs-buy strategy for Finance tooling, evaluating what Coinbase should build internally, adopt from partner teams, procure from vendors, or retire.

Ensure every automated financial output is traceable, reviewable, and defensible to auditors — with SOX compliance, segregation of duties, and human-in-the-loop controls as first-class design concerns.

Drive adoption through brown-bags, prototype walkthroughs, and feedback loops that bring FP&A and Treasury teams along on the journey and ensure tools actually get used.
