Builder Operations Associate

Remote - USA

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.

As a Builder Operations Associate on the Base team, you'll own the systems, support workflows, and builder experience across Base's Discord, Reddit, and other community channels. These channels are critical destinations for developers seeking technical guidance, troubleshooting support, and connection with the broader Base ecosystem. You'll ensure technical questions receive timely, accurate responses while building scalable processes that keep these communities effective and secure.

What you'll do:

  • Own day-to-day technical community operations across Base Discord and Reddit, ensuring builder questions are acknowledged, triaged, and resolved consistently.
  • Design and implement structured ticketing and escalation systems for technical support requests, including issue categorization, severity levels, SLAs, ownership, and closure criteria.
  • Build and maintain Discord and Reddit infrastructure, including channels, roles, permissions, bots, AutoModerator rules, moderation tooling, and workflow automations.
  • Develop reusable responses, troubleshooting guides, FAQs, and internal playbooks that improve answer quality and reduce repeated manual work.
  • Create operational dashboards tracking response time, resolution time, ticket volume, escalation rate, recurring issue categories, and builder satisfaction.
  • Identify opportunities to use Discord and Reddit beyond reactive support, including peer-support systems, product feedback loops, and builder recognition.

Required Skills and Experience:

  • 3+ years in technical community operations, developer support, DevRel operations, or a related role, ideally within crypto, open-source software, or developer platforms.
  • Hands-on experience administering large Discord communities, including bots, roles, permissions, channel architecture, integrations, and workflow automation.
  • Experience operating technical communities on Reddit, including AutoModerator, moderation queues, post flair, wiki tools, and subreddit governance.
  • Working knowledge of onchain development concepts, including wallets, transactions, smart contracts, RPC infrastructure, bridges, and common developer tooling.
  • Demonstrated ability to understand technical developer questions, troubleshoot effectively, and communicate solutions clearly to audiences with different levels of expertise.
  • Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
