This is a 12-week internship during summer 2026.
Coinbase is seeking interns to join our User Research team to understand user needs for existing products like Coinbase Cloud and tools for developers. You will contribute to unique, large scale, highly complex product problems. You will help researchers, designers, and product managers craft thoughtful experiences to help enable all people to engage with the crypto economy. You don’t need to be an expert on cryptocurrency to join us—we welcome folks at many different moments in their cryptocurrency journey. We only ask that you have a basic knowledge of cryptocurrency and Coinbase’s role in it, and an interest in learning more.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Work on one or more research projects with other researchers, designers, and product managers to investigate a product problem or area
- Learn how to plan and execute research to solve complex and ambiguous product problems
- Craft one or more research reports to clearly communicate your findings and make impactful design and product recommendations for the team
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- Actively seeking a career in user research
- Working knowledge of general research principles (experimental design, bias, confounds, etc.) and UX research principles (usability testing, design thinking, etc.)
- Self-motivated and committed to personal growth
- Approach problems with positive energy
Nice to haves:
- Currently pursuing a degree or certificate in a research-related field or pursuing user research extracurricularly while enrolled in a Bachelors program
- Enjoy thinking about how people interact with products, with a natural curiosity to understand others’ mental models and motivations
Application Requirements:
- Final report from a past research project: This can be a school, bootcamp, or consulting/extracurricular project. We’re interested to see how you communicate your findings, as well as how the research goals influenced your choices with methodology, execution, and recommendations. Please upload as a document below
- Resume: Include previous work and/or educational experiences
