Job Description

• 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.

• Measure business performance, develop / refine core metrics and create reporting to understand and monitor them.
• Synthesise data learnings into compelling stories and communicate them throughout Coinbase and to senior executives.
• Initiate, develop, and maintain data pipelines and data models with outstanding craftsmanship.

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

• Demonstration of our core cultural values: clear communication, positive energy, continuous learning, and efficient execution.
• Understanding of statistical concepts and experience in applying them.
• Related, understanding of experimentation best practices and concepts (e.g., incrementality, cannibalization, etc.)
• Experience in data analyses using SQL.
• Experience in programming/modeling in Python.
• Ability to independently create plans for analytics projects and a track record of overseeing large / complex analytical projects spanning multiple teams.
• BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience. 5+ years relevant experience, or a PhD degree in related fields + 2 years.
