Staff Analytics Engineer

Finance Analytics builds Coinbase's financial data and reporting foundations so Finance, Accounting/Controllership, Treasury and FP&A can run accurate, timely and auditable operations. We sit at the intersection of data engineering, data science and business analytics: we own the source-of-truth financial datasets in Snowflake/Databricks, the pipelines that produce them, and the reconciliation, month-end close, safeguarding and reporting workflows built on top. We partner closely with Product Engineering to make sure upstream financial data is complete, reconciled and traceable.

What you'll be doing:

As the Staff Analytics Engineer on Finance Analytics, this person sets the technical direction for Coinbase's financial data layer and works side by side with Accounting, Controllership and FP&A. They need to understand how the books are closed, audited and controlled, not just how the data moves:

• Partner with Accounting and FP&A to support month-end and quarter-end close, building the datasets, reconciliations and reporting that let us close the books accurately and on time.
• Make financial data and pipelines audit-ready: SOX-compliant controls, lineage, change management and evidence for internal and external auditors.
• Design and own the architecture of curated, well-documented source-of-truth financial datasets in Snowflake/Databricks that are correct, consistent and tie out to the general ledger.
• Build and own scalable batch (and where needed, near-real-time) pipelines orchestrated with Airflow/dbt, including dependency management, backfills and runbooks.
• Define reusable data quality and reconciliation frameworks (tests, monitoring, alerting, SLAs) and agree with Accounting on what "done" means for financial correctness.
• Drive data contracts with upstream engineering teams, mentor Analytics Engineers, and build abstractions (Python packages, UDFs, LLM-assisted tools) that make finance data users more efficient.
