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, easy-to-use way.

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.

Base is incubated within Coinbase and plans to progressively decentralize in the years ahead. We believe that decentralization is critical to creating an open, global crypto economy that is accessible to everyone.

In this role you will provide DevRel support for the Base Chain team and partner closely with the Base Ecosystem team to provide technical support for partners building on or migrating to Base.

• Provide solution engineering support for enterprises building or migrating to Base and help grow and operationalize enterprise technical support 
• 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

What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):

• 3+ years experience as a Solutions Engineer, Developer Experience Engineer, or related role, with a proven track record of creating impactful developer documentation and tools
• Ability to take operationalize and optimize new workstreams in an organization
