Join Coinbase’s Protocol Security team to attack before others can — identifying novel vulnerabilities in both onchain (smart contracts, protocols, L1/L2s) and offchain infrastructure, and simulating real-world adversaries. The objective: fortify onchain development as Coinbase scales to bring 1B+ users onchain safely.

• 3+ years of Red Team experience with advanced offensive security skills
• Proven track record of discovering vulnerabilities in blockchain systems (protocol, app, infra)
• Strong knowledge of L1/L2 networks, DeFi protocols, staking, consensus mechanisms
• Capable of writing and speaking clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Background in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or equivalent experience
• Hands-on knowledge of security mitigation strategies in distributed systems

• Participation in CTFs, bug bounty programs, CVE research
• Experience in any of:
• Application Security
• Network Security
• 1+ years of Software Engineering experience (understanding code at depth is critical)

• High-impact frontier work: You’ll be helping Coinbase secure not just web infrastructure, but onchain systems that power wallets, staking, DeFi, and more.
• Real offensive security: It’s not just audits — you're red teaming onchain platforms, crafting novel exploits, and breaking systems before attackers can.
• Crypto-native: Expect to dive into the nitty-gritty of smart contract vulnerabilities, blockchain consensus, and exploit techniques specific to Web3.
