Developer Advocate (Base)
Coinbase
Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?
At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.
To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.
Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.
We believe that the onchain platform is the most important builder platform since the internet (“online”). We believe that the onchain platform should be open source, free to use, and globally available. And we believe that in order to make it really work, we need all hands on deck, working together to scale in a secure, decentralized manner.
At Base, we live by our Stay Based values: we do the right thing, work hard, stay optimistic, prioritize the team, and push creative boundaries—all while building the future of onchain. We value a Zone 3+ work ethic, where our team rises to the challenge, embraces hard weeks, and makes small to significant personal tradeoffs when necessary to drive impact and innovation.
We’re looking for world class Developer Advocates to help bring the next billion users onchain by building a world class onchain developer experience and creating engaging onchain experiences. In this role, you will partner closely with Base builders and ensure our developer tools, documentation, and builder solutions are of the highest quality. You will also work closely with Base engineering, product, design, ecosystem, and creative teams.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Create and maintain technical documentation for Base's tools, libraries, and APIs, ensuring accuracy and quality
- Create compelling technical content, including blog posts, tutorials, videos, and presentations
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to provide builder feedback and influence product roadmap decisions
- Unlock Base builders by reducing bugs, creating self-serve assets, shipping custom builds, serving as the initial user, etc.
- Support and foster our developer community, providing hands-on support,collecting feedback, and capturing insights
- Evangelize online and in-person to increase adoption and usage of the onchain stack
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- 2+ years experience as a Technical Writer, Developer Experience Engineer, or related role, with a proven track record of creating impactful developer documentation and tools
- 1+ years of experience building onchain
- Fluent in frontend tools such as Typescript and Next.js
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment without much oversight
- Open source project contributions
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- A bias towards shipping and data-informed improvement
Nice to haves:
- Experience shaping content for a variety of technical tooling
- Experience working in a startup environment
- Engagement with onchain developer communities
- You’re based
