Coinbase to hire 130+ staff as it expands into Charlotte’s fintech hub
Summary
Coinbase plans to hire over 130 employees in Charlotte, North Carolina, focusing on Compliance and Customer Support roles. This expansion aims to leverage Charlotte's growing reputation as a financial and tech hub, addressing increasing customer and compliance demands. Coinbase has been a remote-first company since 2020, allowing about 95% of its workforce to choose their work environment. CEO Brian Armstrong announced intentions to add approximately 1,000 new employees in the U.S. this year, which would increase the workforce by about 27%. The Charlotte expansion is primarily driven by local talent opportunities rather than recent regulatory changes. Coinbase is also considering applying for a U.S. federal bank charter.
