  • Collaborate closely with product management and engineering teams to define product direction and user experiences.
  • Identify user experience pain points across our user base and develop elegant solutions that meet their needs
  • Create and maintain a cohesive style guide and ensure that a consistent design language is applied across the product.
  • Develop visual iconography to enrich the experience throughout the product
  • Collaborate with the team to brainstorm solutions to solve customer challenges, plan new features, and extract learnings from misses
  • Communicate with our customers to assist in integrating thirdweb into their application or platform
  • Stay abreast of the latest trends and technologies in web3, UI/UX best practices, and competitive landscape.
  • Mentor and lead a small team of designers across the company; provide feedback and foster a creative and collaborative work environment.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years experience on a product design team for developer-focused applications, with at least 2 years in a leadership role

  • Obsessed with all things web3
  • Ability to roll up your sleeves and solve complex UX challenges
  • Deep experience with the latest design tools like Figma and a strong portfolio demonstrating proficiency in designing complex applications
  • Executive presence and the ability to collaborate with high level leaders
  • Excited about working in a fast-paced, unstructured environment that prioritizes delivering impact and learning over process
  • Curious about knowledge outside of your direct expertise and have an appetite for learning
  • A self-starter in proposing and carrying out solutions to solve ambiguous user experience problems
  • Knowing when and how to make calculated tradeoffs to meet the needs of the customer and business
