Our most recent offering, Base, is an Ethereum L2 built to scale the crypto economy, the foundation for continuing the onchain journey.

What you'll do:

  • Drive standardization in crypto protocols by designing and defining interfaces
  • Work closely with the Base leadership and product team to set our onchain strategy and roadmaps
  • Mentor and train other team members on smart contract engineering best practice

What we look for in you:
