About the role
Coinbase is seeking an Offensive Security Engineer to join the Application Security team. You will pioneer the use of frontier AI models to scale vulnerability discovery and automate security workflows. This role bridges traditional penetration testing with next-generation AI-augmented offensive security. Coinbase is a remote-first company, but you should expect to attend quarterly in-person working sessions called “surges.”
Responsibilities
- Build, deploy, and maintain custom security scanners that leverage frontier models to detect vulnerabilities at scale.
- Lead red teaming efforts against internal AI systems, including jailbreak testing, prompt injection analysis, and tool abuse simulation.
- Develop AI-driven automation for vulnerability triage, validation, and remediation workflows.
- Partner with engineering teams to prioritize, remediate, and verify fixes for critical vulnerabilities.
- Mentor junior security engineers on integrating AI into offensive security workflows.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in application security, penetration testing, or offensive security with demonstrated ability to build custom security tooling.
- Hands-on experience using LLMs or frontier models to automate security tasks or build security scanners.
- Demonstrated experience red teaming AI-based systems (prompt injection, jailbreak testing, tool abuse).
- Deep understanding of common vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, SANS Top 25) and a proven track record identifying and exploiting them in production environments.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, or similar) with experience writing production-grade security tooling.
- Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs.
Pay and benefits
The annual base salary range is CAD 154,000 to CAD 154,000. Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage.
