Senior Compliance Tech Analyst, Platform (Compliance Automation)

ABOUT THE ROLE We're seeking an Analytics Engineer to join the Compliance Technology team within the Platform organization at Coinbase. This team builds and operates data and detection capabilities that enable Coinbase to meet global BSA/AML and related regulatory obligations at scale, partnering with Compliance, Product, and Engineering to ensure monitoring and investigative controls are effective, measurable, and auditable. You'll build and own end-to-end data pipelines that power compliance detection and decisioning, improving signal quality, defining control performance measurement, and creating scalable tooling that makes compliance data easier to trust and use. WHAT YOU'LL DO As an Analytics Engineer, you will be responsible for building and maintaining curated datasets and data models that power compliance controls across Transaction Monitoring, EDD/KYC, and Screening systems. You will also own data quality for compliance datasets by implementing validation checks, monitoring, lineage tracking, and documentation to ensure outputs are accurate, complete, and audit-ready. Additionally, you will partner with cross-functional engineering teams and Compliance stakeholders to close upstream data gaps, standardize instrumentation, and translate control requirements into scalable data structures and feature sets. You will drive detection signal quality improvements by analyzing detection outputs, identifying opportunities to reduce non-actionable noise while protecting sensitivity, and defining success metrics for controlled rollouts. Furthermore, you will execute measurement frameworks for compliance control effectiveness, including coverage, timeliness, stability, and outcome-based metrics, and build repeatable reporting pipelines consumable by Compliance leaders, operations teams, and auditors. WHAT YOU'LL NEED To be successful in this role, you will need 3-5 years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or data-heavy technical roles. You should have advanced SQL proficiency, including complex transformations, performance tuning, and data quality checks. Experience building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines and data models using tools such as dbt, Airflow, or equivalent orchestration/transformation frameworks is also required. Additionally, you should have demonstrated ability to execute on ambiguous, cross-functional projects in regulated environments with clear written and verbal communication. Python skills applied to automation, pipeline development, and data analysis are also necessary. Finally, you should utilize generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
