Nice to Have / Implicit Plus Points:
- Experience in threat detection and/or SOC tooling
- Understanding of threat intelligence lifecycle (collection, processing, analysis)
- Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK, threat modeling, or intelligence sharing (e.g., STIX/TAXII)
- Ability to rapidly iterate on prototypes based on changing threat conditions
Compensation Overview:
- Plus: Target bonus + stock options/equity
This is competitive for a mid- to senior-level technical security role, especially in a high-stakes environment like Coinbase.
