Base Country Lead, UAE

Coinbase


Date: 2 days ago
City: Dubai
Contract type: Full time
Remote
Base is planning to bring a million developers and a billion users onchain. We need your help to make that happen.

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.

Base is built on Optimism's open-source OP Stack. We're joining as the second Core Dev team working on the OP Stack to ensure it's a public good available to everyone; and contributing a portion of sequencer revenue to funding public goods.

We're looking for a Base Country Lead, UAE who will help us grow Base's global footprint. You'll be responsible for driving Base's adoption in the UAE.

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

  • Be the primary ambassador for Base in the country
  • Incubate and grow the local Base community
  • Run scrappy growth initiatives to onboard developers and users
  • Design and execute builder GTM strategies and programs (e.g. buildathons, launchpads, fellowships)
  • Support builders through mentorship and curating grant funding
  • Identify local app, accelerator, VC, and distribution partnership opportunities
  • Recruit and manage local community members to scale needs
  • Share market intel, community and product feedback with the wider Base team

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

Must haves

  • Operational experience in a crypto startup/project (founder, early employee, community/growth head)
  • Deep connectivity in / understanding of your local crypto, startup and developer market
  • A relentless, solutions-oriented self-starter
  • Outstanding interpersonal and communication skills
  • A passion for building a global onchain economy

Nice to haves

  • Experience creating and scaling a community-driven project
  • Experience running GTM and activation campaigns for developers
  • Experience setting-up and managing a program for startups (e.g. accelerators, incubators)
