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.
We are seeking a mid level compliance professional to report to the Coinbase Canada Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). In this role, you will support the CCO with implementing and administering the compliance program.

- Monitor the regulatory environment including review & analysis of regulatory announcements, reports, and legislative changes
- Maintain detailed documentation to demonstrate compliance with regulations and internal policies and procedures
- Drive small adhoc targeted projects focusing on elements of the Canadian compliance program
- From time to time provide assistance to the Compliance Department by completing other activities over and above those listed in the duties listing, appropriate to your skills and experience
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- 5+ years experience in compliance at financial services
- Knowledge of Canadian compliance and regulatory matters, specifically Canadian securities regulation
- Capacity to meet deadlines while maintaining quality standards and ensuring effective time management
- Ability to thrive in fast-paced remote environment
- Keen interest in digital assets
- Team player, willing to tackle tasks large or small
- Organized and detail-oriented
- Bachelors degree or equivalent
Nice to haves:
- Professional Compliance or finance qualification and membership of a recognised professional body would be advantageous, but not a prerequisite
