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.
Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) is building the developer tools to bring the world onchain.
Today, onchain development is slow, risky, and painful, even for the most experienced onchain developers. Our goal is to bring a million developers onchain by creating an easy to use and trusted developer experience. We are building APIs and SDKs for Coinbase wallets, paymaster, staking, stablecoins, onchain data, and more.
We are a small team that moves like a startup at Coinbase, with a fast pace, strong ownership culture, and a relentless commitment to making developers happy.
We are looking for a strong Developer Relations lead to promote and drive adoption of our Coinbase suite of developer products in order to establish us as the leading Web3 developer platform, paving the way for 1M+ developers coming onchain. You will be the vital link between our engineering teams and the developer community, shaping our brand, refining our developer message, and building critical documentation and sample applications to showcase our platform's capabilities.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Engage with the onchain developer community through industry events, social media (X, Farcaster, Discord, etc.), and other channels.
- Promote the Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) through content creation; including how-to guides, tutorials, blog posts, and sample apps.
- Partner closely with our documentation team to organize docs, prioritize content gaps and platform improvements, and gather developer feedback on all content effectiveness.
- Collaborate with internal teams to identify roadmap investments that would allow us to extend our reach with builders, driving adoption and engagement of our services.
- Track and report on key metrics related to the onchain builder community engagement, satisfaction, and adoption.
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- 6+ years of experience in a developer advocacy, technical evangelism, technical writing or similar role.
- Proven experience as a Developer Advocate in Web3, with experience building community on social, speaking at conferences, etc.
- Strong foundation in software development and a thorough understanding of blockchain technology.
- Exceptional communication skills, capable of producing clear, engaging, and informative technical content.
- Experience in community building and public speaking (eg: conferences, online workshops, etc.), with a proven ability to deliver persuasive and clear presentations.
Nice to haves:
- Demonstrated ability to forge and maintain strong relationships within the tech developer community, particularly with strategic partners and top-tier developers.
- Connection and engagement with the existing Ethereum (EVM) community.
- Experience in conducting technical workshops or training sessions.
- A robust online presence or portfolio of technical content (blogs, webinars, videos, etc.).
- Crypto-forward experience, including familiarity with onchain activity such as interacting with Ethereum addresses, using ENS, and engaging with dApps or blockchain-based services.
