Bringing a millions devs onchain.

Product Lead, Coinbase Developer Platform https://cdp.coinbase.com

Prev lead of USDC. Crypto class of 2014

Since spending 2017-21 at Coinbase, Erik comes back to us after scaling @zora’s engineering team from 0 to 30+ and helping build some of the most innovative, large-scale onchain applications. He deeply understands where developer products shine—and where they fall short.

At @coinbasedev, we’re entering a new phase of growth: onchain builders are multiplying, crypto adoption is accelerating, and we’re hitting escape velocity. Erik’s expertise will help us meet this moment with the right products, at the right time.

Please join me in welcoming @programmer to the team. We’re excited to make onchain dev faster, easier, and more powerful. The future is being built now—and Erik’s here to help us build it right (with the best handle on X).

We’re also hiring for our growing team. Check it out here:
