Job description

Description:

At A Digital Currency Exchange Company, our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world (https://blog.coinbase.com/our-mission-strategy-and-culture-18a92a3bb0fa), and we couldn't do this without hiring the best people. We're a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web3 for our users across the globe, whether they're trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That's us.
There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at A Digital Currency Exchange Company, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture (https://blog.coinbase.com/culture-at-coinbase-f0e1c2a99aff) like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach (https://blog.coinbase.com/coinbase-is-a-mission-focused-company-af882df8804) to our work. Finally, we seek people who are excited to learn about and live crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We're a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.
Ready to #LiveCrypto? Who you are:
  • You've got positive energy. You're optimistic about the future and determined to get there.
  • You're never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0.
  • You appreciate direct communication. You're both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let's face it, you can't have one without the other. You're cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
  • You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You're not looking for a boring job.
  • You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn't scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
  • You want to be part of a winning team. We're stronger together, and you're a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

The Security Legal team serves as the primary advisors to the global security team at A Digital Currency Exchange Company. The team counsels on a range of matters from incident response/reporting to security program compliance with international and domestic information security regulations.

  • Advise business leads and other key clients of new regulatory and policy trends and developments involving digital currency and cybersecurity in Europe and other key international jurisdictions, and help enable A Digital Currency Exchange Company's advocacy for effective regulation
  • Continuously assess operating risks and legal needs and ensure that the legal department is equipped to provide outstanding support as A Digital Currency Exchange Company's international business continues to grow
  • Manage outside counsel effectively where they are engaged in connection with specific projects, while establishing your own strong domain expertise.

What We Look for in You (ie. Job Requirements):
  • Qualified solicitor in the UK or Ireland with approximately 6 -10 years experience working in cybersecurity law, preferably within a regulated e-money / payment services or financial services institution (e.g. e-money issuer, payment service firm, broker dealer / asset manager) or in a law firm supporting such clients (ideally with some previous in-house experience)
  • Strong familiarity with existing and upcoming PSD2/3, Mica, DORA, and other cybersecurity regulations
  • Experience dealing with regulators such the Financial Conduct Authority and Central Bank of Ireland is preferred
  • Ability to manage complex projects involving coordination across multiple time zones, challenging legal issues and tight deadlines
  • Ability to work closely with Security to deliver coordinated input to the business and other stakeholders
