We believe that the onchain platform is the most important builder platform since the internet (“online”).

  • Evangelize and drive delivery of exceptional UX of all critical user journeys
  • Proactively identify opportunities and improvements to UX for builders and end users
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Base Leadership to help shape the product vision
