How to get referred at Coinbase

  1. Step 1

    Find the exact role

    Open the job on coinbase.com and copy the job link and job ID. Referrers can only submit you for a specific opening.

  2. Step 2

    Pick the right referrer

    Choose a verified Coinbase employee. Someone in the same team or function can speak to your fit more credibly.

  3. Step 3

    Send a focused request

    Attach a resume tailored to the role and a three- or four-line note on why you fit. Lead with experience that matches what Coinbase tests, such as Central Limit Order Books (CLOB) & Matching Engines and Blockchain Node RPC & Cryptography.

  4. Step 4

    Get referred and track it

    Once they accept and you pay, they submit you through Coinbase's internal referral portal and upload proof. Your payment is held until that proof is in.

Coinbase tip: Coinbase is remote-first, but each role lists the countries it hires in. Confirm your country is eligible before requesting.
