It’s day 1 for us. We’re laser focused on automating customer support and compliance processes today. This is not just focused on driving efficiencies by automating manual processes, but reimagining what processes and systems must look like in a fully AI driven automated world, and then bring that vision to reality working across cross functional teams to offer a delightful customer experience, improving compliance posture and delivering outsized shareholder value.

Design and implement Agentic AI systems that power Coinbase’s customer support experience and compliance processes
Design a platform (primitives, orchestration platform, tools, etc.) that would allow other domains to quickly leverage Agentic AI to automate their processes

Participate in shaping of the strategy and execution path of Coinbase Platform
