UI / UX designer

Job Responsibilities

Agent Leverage Use AI design tools (Galileo AI, Midjourney, Cursor for front-end prototyping, etc.) to accelerate ideation, generate variations, and validate concepts faster. You don't just use AI as a shortcut — you build it into your design process to multiply output quality.

Product & Outcome Taste Design user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mockups — but start by asking the right question: are we solving the right problem? Own the design from user insight to shipped experience, not just pixel delivery.

Web3 UX Ownership Conduct user research and usability testing with a focus on web3-specific friction points — on-ramp flows, wallet interactions, gas fee communication, seed phrase handling. You understand why crypto UX is hard and design around it deliberately.

Cross-functional Execution Collaborate closely with engineering to implement responsive designs across desktop, mobile, and browser extensions. You bridge design intent and implementation reality — not just hand off specs and hope for the best.

Brand & Visual Craft Create visual assets, iconography, and motion graphics that embody the Donut aesthetic: playful yet professional. You have an eye for brand coherence and know when to push creative boundaries vs. when to stay consistent.

Data-Informed Iteration Drive design decisions with A/B testing results and user feedback from the web3 community. You treat launched designs as hypotheses, not finished products.

Learning Velocity Stay ahead of UI/UX trends in blockchain applications, emerging design systems, and accessibility standards. The web3 UX landscape is still being invented — you help invent it.

Qualifications

3+ years of UI/UX design experience with a portfolio demonstrating shipped web or mobile products. Web3 or fintech work is a strong plus.

Design Tool Mastery Proficient in Figma (preferred); comfortable with Sketch or Adobe XD. Understands front-end constraints well enough to design for implementation, not just aesthetics (HTML/CSS, React basics).

User-Centered Judgment Strong command of user-centered design principles — accessibility (WCAG), cross-device compatibility, and the ability to make opinionated design decisions backed by user data.

Web3 Depth Genuine familiarity with blockchain UX challenges: seed phrases, transaction states, gas fees, wallet connection flows. You've felt the pain firsthand and have ideas for solving it.

AI Workflow (Non-Negotiable) Actively integrates AI tools into design workflow — for research synthesis, rapid prototyping, or asset generation. Not just awareness of the tools, but demonstrated efficiency gains.

Architectural Judgment Can distinguish between what's a design problem, a copy problem, and a product problem — and knows when to push back vs. execute.

Excellent async communication skills; thrives in a remote, cross-functional team environment.

Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, or related field — or equivalent portfolio evidence.
