Coinbase

Remote · United States$21,158–24,892 gross/mofull-timeCoinbase Careers

Coinbase is building the future of institutional trading as part of the Everything Exchange, powering the systems that let the world's largest financial institutions trade across markets with speed, depth, and trust. As a Risk Architect on the Trading team, you'll design, build, and own the real-time risk engine at the heart of a unified trading platform: cross-asset user and portfolio risk evaluated in real time on the core trading system that serves our Retail, Prime, and wholesale brokerage customers.

Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture of the real-time, cross-asset risk and margin engine: user and portfolio modeling, multifactor and borrow risk, and cross-portfolio evaluation at scale.
  • Design low-latency, high-throughput risk systems, keeping correctness and performance in step with a growing trading platform.
  • Drive reliability and performance, owning SLOs, observability, and incident response for risk-critical systems.
  • Set the technical bar through code, design reviews, and standards, and pay down the technical debt that matters most.
  • Serve as the risk-architecture anchor for the team, mentoring engineers and reducing single-point-of-failure risk.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Trading, Financing/Credit Risk, Security, and Compliance to turn technical vision into a roadmap.
