Coinbase 4.2
Senior scientist job in Springfield, IL
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 ******************************** 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.
Data Science is an integral component of Coinbase's product and decision making process: we work in partnership with Product, Engineering and Design to influence the roadmap and better understand our users. With a deep expertise in experimentation, analytics and advanced modeling, we produce insights which directly move the company's bottom line.
Specifically, we're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Retail Trading Team. In this role, you'll take charge of pricing experimentation and play a pivotal role in determining our pricing strategy: you'll spearhead testing design and analysis, find opportunities to improve engagement and our bottom line, and communicate your ideas to execs and leaders across the company.
*What you'll be doing (ie. job duties):***
* Act as a strategic partner and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to develop pricing vision, roadmap and priorities
* Design and develop pricing models and their evaluation framework to determine optimal pricing strategy
* Develop causal models to help isolate the impact of fee changes using experiments and observational data
* Initiate, develop, and maintain data pipelines and data models with outstanding craftsmanship
* Synthesize findings, and recommendations in a clear and concise manner and communicate to senior leadership
*What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):*
* Demonstration of our core cultural values: clear communication, positive energy, continuous learning, and efficient execution.
* PhD preferred, or a Master's degree in a field such as Economics or Statistics with 5+ years of relevant experience.
* Minimum 5 years of experience in pricing experimentation, data analysis and statistical modeling
* Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, R, or other programming languages used for data analysis and statistical modeling
* Ability to independently create plans for analytics projects and a track record of overseeing large / complex analytical projects spanning multiple teams
* Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to explain complex data and analysis to non-technical stakeholders.
* Strong attention to detail and ability to work under tight deadlines
*Nice to haves:*
* Experience applying causal inference techniques outside of controlled experiments
* Experience working at or on a Crypto-focused company or at a crypto exchange
