Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported.

This role is a 12 month assignment to the Cayman Islands with possibility of extension.

The Trading Analyst will support the execution of trades in cryptocurrencies and digital assets, working closely with the trading team in an institutional asset management setting. In addition to assisting with real-time execution and monitoring market conditions, this role will focus on project-based work to improve trading strategy, infrastructure, and analytics. The Analyst will contribute to research initiatives, data analysis, and process improvements that enhance the trading desk’s efficiency and strategic capabilities.

  2. Market Analysis:

    • Contribute to research memos and presentations incorporating macro, technical, or on-chain data.
    • Build and maintain tracking tools for order book depth, volatility, or volume metrics.
  3. Risk Management:
    • Assist in trade booking and ensure accurate position tracking within the portfolio framework.
    • Support the risk team by producing exposure reports and analyzing key risk indicators.
  4. Strategy Development:
    • Participate in research projects aimed at improving execution or identifying new opportunities.
    • Contribute to backtesting and exploratory analysis of trading ideas.
    • Document and maintain knowledge bases related to strategy performance, assumptions, and market conditions.
  5. Technology & Tools:
    • Work with trading and engineering teams to enhance scripts, dashboards, and tools used by the desk.
    • Explore new datasets and APIs relevant to improving trading research and monitoring.
  6. Compliance & Regulation:
    • Ensure end-to-end compliance of execution processes with regulatory standards and internal policies.
    • Collaborate with compliance teams to stay informed about emerging regulations affecting the cryptocurrency market.

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

  • Education:
    • Bachelor’s Degree
  • Experience:
    • 1 - 3 years of experience in crypto trading, institutional asset management, or relevant financial trading roles.
