People rarely get the chance to be a part of history that’s being scripted. Being a part of Coinbase gives me that opportunity exactly.

Even though we are this big, publicly traded company with thousands of employees, we’ve still managed to have the kind of agility and innovative spirit of a startup!

As a former intern, I can confidently say that the Coinbase intern program is phenomenal! A major focus of my work was on automation, and many of the automated workbooks I enhanced are still in use today. I’ve maintained strong friendships with my intern class, and I’m thrilled to return as a full-time Digital Asset Platform Accountant.
