Description

At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom around the world, and we couldn’t do this without hiring the best people. We’re a group of hard-working overachievers who are deeply focused on building the future of finance and Web3 for our users across the globe, whether they’re trading, storing, staking or using crypto. Know those people who always lead the group project? That’s us.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Coinbase, regardless of role or team. First, we look for candidates who will thrive in a culture like ours, where we default to trust, embrace feedback, and disrupt ourselves. Second, we expect all employees to commit to our mission-focused approach to our work. Most importantly, we seek people who are excited about crypto, because those are the folks who enjoy the intense moments in our sprint and recharge work culture. We’re a remote-first company looking to hire the absolute best talent all over the world.

Who you are:

  • You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there. 
  • You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0. 
  • You appreciate direct communication. You’re both an active communicator and an eager listener - because let’s face it, you can’t have one without the other. You’re cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
  • You can pivot on the fly. Crypto is constantly evolving, so our priorities do, too. What you worked on last month may not be what you work on today, and that excites you. You’re not looking for a boring job.
  • You have a “can do” attitude. Our teams create high-quality work on quick timelines. Owning a problem doesn’t scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
  • You want to be part of a winning team. We’re stronger together, and you’re a person who embraces being pushed out of your comfort zone.

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 build API and SDK products for developers like 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 Technical Writer to pioneer best-in-class documentation across 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.

What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):

  • Document new products, features, and APIs
  • Create quickstart guides, including content that showcases how to use multiple products in our suite of developer tools together to enable common use cases
  • Document standards, guidelines, and best practices for other teams to follow
  • Improve content quality across core documentation to drive activation and usage through curation and content performance analysis
  • Push Coinbase and the industry forward by dreaming up and implementing new ways to deliver, author, analyze, and interact with technical content

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

  • 4+ years of Technical Writing experience
  • An owner mindset with the ability to succeed in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to come up to speed quickly on new product areas and write great documentation for new and intermediate developers
  • Ability to identify content gaps and opportunities across our suite of products to drive adoption and engagement
  • Adept at communicating technical concepts clearly and precisely, without jargon
  • A background in software development and comfortable working with Ruby, Go, Typescript, Node, Java, or Next.js.
  • Experience writing about frontend and backend languages, and ideally also onchain languages (eg: Solidity)

Nice to haves:

  • Experience contributing to an onchain community or project
  • 2+ years of onchain experience, with a deep understanding of Ethereum and onchain communities
  • Experience creating automated documentation tools
