Product Manager, Base Builder Tools

Base

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 manner.

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.

We are looking for a strong Product Manager to lead Base Builder Tools product strategy and execution. In this role you will help Base builders build and scale their apps and distribution, connect with other builders and apps in the ecosystem, and continue paving the way for billions of people to come onchain.

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

• Own key parts of the product roadmap for Builder Tools, collaborating across Engineering, Design, Data, and Growth.
• Drive discovery and execution of developer tools that make it radically easier to build on Base.
• Build systems and feedback loops that help builders go from 0 → 1 faster, and from 1 → n with more impact.
• Gather insights from ecosystem teams, internal usage, and the broader crypto dev landscape to inform product strategy.
• Help craft the long-term vision for how Base helps builders succeed—and execute on it weekly.
• Create artifacts, write specs, and track metrics that keep our execution sharp and our team aligned.
• Contribute to building a product culture that values velocity, creativity, and deeply listening to users.

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

• 3+ years of Product Management experience (or equivalent in startups, engineering, or founder-like roles).
• Familiarity with LLM tooling and productivity systems (e.g. Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, ElevenLabs).
• Curiosity and conviction about onchain development, Ethereum, and open protocols.
• A bias toward clarity, urgency, and ownership.
• Clear communicator—both written and verbal—who can drive alignment across disciplines.
• Humble, hungry, and collaborative. You're comfortable with ambiguity and energized by impact.

Nice to haves:

• Startup operating or entrepreneurial experience
• You've built or contributed to onchain products or open-source projects.
• You've used Base, deployed smart contracts, or built apps.
• Experience with frontend frameworks like React or component libraries.
• You've been a founder or played a key role in a 0 → 1 product environment.
• You're based
