Description du poste

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.”

As an Internal Audit Senior Associate on the Internal Audit team within Finance, you'll execute risk-based operational and compliance audits end-to-end, covering planning, fieldwork, reporting, and remediation validation. Internal Audit is an independent, third-line function reporting directly to the Audit Committee, and this role strengthens Coinbase's control environment by evaluating governance, compliance, and risk management processes across global operations. You'll partner with first- and second-line stakeholders to identify control gaps, drive practical recommendations, and validate remediation, helping Coinbase maintain its position as the most trusted crypto platform.

What you'll do:

• Execute end-to-end operational and compliance audits, including scoping, preliminary risk assessments, control walkthroughs, fieldwork testing (design and operating effectiveness), and reporting
• Own audit request tracking, open item management, and testing status, delivering proactive and transparent updates to Internal Audit leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
• Identify control gaps by performing root cause analysis, evaluating exception severity, and drafting risk-based recommendations that drive measurable improvement
• Lead audit reporting by drafting result summaries and issue write-ups that are direct, concise, and actionable for senior leadership and regulators
• Validate remediation of prior audit findings by assessing implementation evidence and confirming sufficiency for closure
• Partner with Operations, Compliance, Risk, Finance, and Legal teams to build effective working relationships while maintaining third-line independence and objectivity

Required Skills and Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in internal audit, external audit, compliance testing, or risk management within financial services, fintech, payments, brokerage, or custody
• Proven ability to independently execute audits end-to-end (planning, testing, reporting) with regulator-ready documentation quality
• Working knowledge of regulatory compliance frameworks applicable to financial services operations, including AML/CFT, sanctions, and consumer protection requirements
• Demonstrated proficiency managing multiple concurrent audit workstreams, priorities, and deadlines, including coordination with co-sourced resources
• Familiarity with data analytics techniques (SQL preferred) and experience leveraging technology tools to enhance audit efficiency
• Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business‑ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality
• Strong understanding of internal control environments and working knowledge of regulatory compliance within financial services
• Experience in a regulated financial institution preferred
• Relevant Professional Certification (e.g., CIA, CPA, CFE, Series 7 etc.) or progress toward one
