About this role
Ready to do the most impactful work of your career? At Coinbase, we are uncompromising on our mission to increase economic freedom. The bar is high, the environment is intense, and we like it that way. This isn't a place for complacency, it’s a place to be pushed past your perceived limits. If you're ready to build the future of finance alongside people who refuse to settle for "good enough," you belong here. Coinbase is a remote-first, but not remote-only company. Expect to get together quarterly for intense in-person working sessions called “surges.” learn more about working at Coinbase.
This is a 12-week internship during summer 2027.
As an intern on the Policy team, you'll get hands-on exposure to how Coinbase shapes crypto policy in Washington and beyond. Depending on where the team needs support, you may spend the summer on more outward-facing, community engagement work, or on more technical, research-driven policy analysis — sometimes a mix of both. The strongest candidates genuinely care about digital assets policy, work well with others, and can flex between hands-on advocacy work and detailed technical analysis depending on what the team needs that week.
What you'll do:
- Support a mix of policy workstreams, from advocacy, community engagement, and stakeholder outreach to technical research, regulatory analysis, and briefing materials
- Draft policy materials such as talking points, white papers, social media posts, presentation decks, and short and long-form articles for external audiences
- Conduct research on legislative, regulatory, and policy developments and synthesize findings into actionable briefs for the Policy team
- Provide operational support on key deliverables including drafting, proofreading, data compilation, and project coordination
Required Skills and Experience:
- A collaborative team player who can flex between grassroots/community-facing work and more technical, substantive research depending on team needs
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity, able to make progress on undefined or evolving problems without needing every detail spelled out
- Currently pursuing a degree or certificate in public policy, political science, law, international relations, or a related field, with a genuine interest in US policy and government
- Demonstrated research capability, including experience producing written analysis of legislative, regulatory, or policy topics (academic or professional)
- A proactive, self-starter mindset with the ability to manage multiple concurrent deliverables with minimal supervision over a 12-week engagement
- Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
