Senior Associate, Compliance Model Governance

As a Senior Associate, Compliance Model Governance on the Compliance team, you'll own quantitative testing, monitoring, and data quality for the AI and statistical models that power Coinbase's financial crime compliance programs, including transaction monitoring models. You'll sit between Compliance, Data Science, and Engineering, designing the tests, building the pipelines and dashboards that track model health, and ensuring every model in production is defensible to Internal Audit and regulators.

• Design and execute quantitative testing for AI and ML models before and after launch, including input data quality testing, variance and stability testing, and performance testing for agentic and LLM-based systems, producing documentation that holds up to independent model validation and regulatory examination.
• Build and maintain monitoring pipelines and dashboards that track model inputs, outputs, and downstream outcomes (e.g., SAR performance metrics), applying statistical tests to detect drift and degradation and delivering clear health readouts to model owners and Compliance leadership.
• Own data lineage for compliance-critical data elements, designing data quality checks that feed Compliance's data quality control framework and partnering with Engineering to trace data from source systems to control consumption.
• Write production-quality SQL and Python pipelines, diagnosing and fixing pipeline bugs and leading data migrations that support external regulatory reporting.
• Build detective monitoring scenarios that test whether compliance controls are working, writing and validating the underlying SQL logic.
• Prepare testing evidence, model documentation, and walkthroughs for Internal Audit, model validators, and regulators, responding to findings and tracking remediation to closure.
