Coinbase Plans to Hire 130+ Staff in Charlotte – Because Who Doesn’t Love a Little Expansion?

by

In a most audacious move, the crypto exchange titan, Coinbase, has decided to bless Charlotte, North Carolina, with a flurry of new hires. Over 130 lucky souls will be employed in the grand enterprise, focusing on Compliance and Customer Support. The company, ever the visionary, is clearly eager to tap into the “emerging fintech talent pools” scattered across this great land of ours. A spokesperson, who probably had their coffee just moments before speaking, confirmed this development to CryptoMoon.

“Coinbase is making a delightful new investment in Charlotte,” the spokesperson declared with enthusiasm, “and we are making a firm commitment to hire 130+ local roles across both Compliance and Customer Support over the next six months.” Oh, the joy of it all! Local job seekers, rejoice!

It seems Charlotte, with its lovely blend of emerging financial prowess and tech-savvy ambition, is now the talk of the town. The city, brimming with potential, is just the perfect setting for Coinbase to chase after its growing customer and compliance demands. So, who could resist expanding into such an illustrious locale?

“With a rapidly expanding population and a treasure trove of skilled talent, Charlotte is an excellent choice to sustain our long-term growth,” the spokesperson mused, no doubt adjusting their monocle in approval.

Coinbase Remains Remote-First, Because Why Not Keep Things Casual?

Ah, but in case you were wondering, dear reader, Coinbase is still a remote-first company. Yes, indeed. Since 2020, the company has maintained this progressive stance, with offices in San Francisco and New York for those who prefer the occasional office coffee and water cooler chat.

“We are still a remote-first company,” the spokesperson assured us. “However, we have certain roles globally that require an office presence due to the nature of the work. But don’t fret, we are all about meeting top talent wherever they reside.” So if you’re a remote worker, fear not. You can still enjoy the benefits of this digital-first world without ever leaving your cozy abode. 😊

Approximately 95% of Coinbase’s employees have the liberty to work from home, in an office, or, if they’re feeling particularly adventurous, a delightful mix of both. It’s almost as though they’re trying to be everywhere, all at once. Quite the ambitious notion, don’t you think?

And lo! This expansion, it appears, is part of a grander plan. Coinbase’s CEO, Brian Armstrong, declared in a video posted to X on March 7 that the company intends to hire around 1,000 new employees in the United States this year. This ambitious target, he explains, is made possible by the favorable regulatory environment set in motion by President Trump’s, shall we say, “pro-crypto” administration. Well, who can resist a good regulatory boost?

Now, I’m sure you’re all on the edge of your seats. Adding 1,000 employees would push Coinbase’s workforce to an impressive total of 3,772, which, by my calculations, is nearly a 27% increase. A fine expansion indeed. However, the spokesperson was quick to clarify that the Charlotte expansion had nothing to do with any presidential influence but was more about “the talent opportunity” in the region. Because of course, it was always about the talent, not the politics. 🙄

In even more exciting news, Coinbase is also mulling the possibility of applying for a US federal bank charter. The drama continues! Will they? Won’t they? Only time will tell, but for now, let us marvel at their forward-thinking strategies.
