About this role
Join Coinbase as an Internal Audit Intern for a 12-week summer program in 2027. Gain hands-on experience in audit processes while working in a hybrid environment.
Description
Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and we like it that way. This isn't a place for complacency, it’s a place to be pushed past your perceived limits. If you're ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for 'good enough,' you belong here. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called 'surges.'

- Analyze datasets using SQL or other analytics tools to test control populations, identify exceptions, and support data-driven audit conclusions.
- Apply professional skepticism to evaluate evidence, challenge assumptions, and identify control design gaps or operational deficiencies that others may overlook.

- Explore and prototype how AI and emerging technologies can improve audit processes and outcomes.
