## About the Role

* 5+ years of software engineering experience with a demonstrated ability to ship production systems in ambiguous, stakeholder-heavy environments, with greenfield experience a strong plus.
 * Hands-on experience deploying LLM-based applications, including prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, hallucination guardrails, and human-in-the-loop design for high-stakes compliance outputs.
 * Proven ability to embed with non-technical domain experts, rapidly internalize complex workflows, and translate them into engineering requirements.
 * Familiarity with compliance and regulatory systems concepts: transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, regulatory filing workflows, case management, and audit-ready data handling.
 * Familiarity with multi-agent orchestration concepts including how agent systems handle handoffs, escalation, and auditability.
 * Experience in a Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or embedded technical advisory capacity, ideally in compliance-tech, RegTech, or financial services environments.
 * Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

## Description

* Embed with Compliance leadership and frontline teams to surface the automation opportunities with the greatest business leverage - developing ground-level understanding of workflows like transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, regulatory change management, and exam preparation.
 * Prototype quickly and pragmatically using Coinbase's existing AI platform as the default foundation before recommending net-new builds.
 * Own the Compliance automation roadmap in partnership with the Chief Compliance Officer and Compliance leadership, translating complex regulatory workflows - case resolution, trade surveillance, risk assessment, policy management - into engineering requirements and engineering constraints back to stakeholders clearly.
 * Define the build-vs-buy strategy for Compliance tooling, evaluating what Coinbase should build internally, adopt from partner teams, procure from vendors, or retire.
 * Ensure every automated compliance output is traceable, reviewable, and defensible to regulators - with auditability, approval gates, evidence retention, and human-in-the-loop controls as first-class design concerns, not afterthoughts.
 * Drive adoption through brown-bags, prototype walkthroughs, and feedback loops that bring Compliance teams along on the journey and ensure tools actually get used.
