Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.

To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.

While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year.

The Litigation team is responsible for managing Coinbase’s litigation risks across the globe. This role will provide advanced support to our consumer and regulatory litigation teams, with an emphasis on the processing of civil subpoenas, summons, garnishments, levies, and account freeze requests, as well as assisting with all aspects of customer arbitrations and threatened litigation.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

Manage timely and accurate responses to domestic and international subpoenas, summons, levies, liens, bankruptcies, garnishments, letters from counsel and other civil third-party requests.

Communicate with opposing counsel and various government agencies regarding outstanding requests with the assistance of attorneys and other members of the litigation team.

Assist with the preparation and filing of litigation and arbitration case pleadings, along with paralegal support for active litigation and arbitration cases.

Provide operational support to maintain, evaluate, and, where needed, improve, litigation internal processes.

Supporting teams with other projects or tasks on an as‑needed basis.

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

At least five years of experience as a litigation paralegal.

Experience sending and/or receiving a high volume of civil subpoenas, summons, levies, liens, garnishments, and other third‑party requests on a daily basis.

Experience working on arbitration and litigation matters in state and federal court.

Ability to execute under pressure and within tight timelines while juggling multiple projects.

Highest level of accuracy, superb attention to detail, and excellent proofreading skills.

Nice to haves:

Experience working in‑house.

Experience working with non‑US jurisdictions.

Experience in the crypto industry is a bonus.
