Senior Technical Writer, Coinbase

• 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)
• 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
