Your experience at Deel will be a career accelerator. At the forefront of the global work revolution, you'll tackle complex challenges that impact millions of people's working lives. With our momentum—backed by a $17.3 billion valuation and $1 B in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just over five years—you'll drive meaningful impact while building expertise that makes you a sought-after leader in the transformation of global work.
We are seeking a passionate and highly experienced Staff Product Designer to join our dynamic team. This role is pivotal in shaping the future of our products, driving design excellence, and delivering delightful customer experiences. You will lead design initiatives across vertical and horizontal projects, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to ensure a cohesive and impactful user experience.
Lead Web3 Design Initiatives: Define, own, and deliver the end-to-end design for core decentralized services, DApps, and protocols. Translate the complexity of smart contracts, governance models, and token economics into intuitive, trustworthy user experiences.
Collaborate Across the Chain: Work tightly with our engineering and protocol teams to understand the technical constraints and opportunities of various blockchains (e.g., Ethereum, Solana, Layer 2s). You'll be designing for immutability, which requires a whole new level of rigor.
Advocate for Decentralized Design Systems: Champion a design system that is flexible enough for rapid Web3 innovation yet robust enough to handle high-security interfaces like wallets and staking mechanisms. You'll be designing the 'trust' layer.
Prototype with Precision & Speed: Rapidly design, prototype, and test new features, focusing heavily on reducing friction in Web3 flows (wallet connection, transaction signing, gas fees, seed phrase security). Deliver thoughtful solutions in an environment where ambiguity is the norm, and regulation is a moving target.
Mentor and Grow the Guild: Mentor Product Designers on the unique challenges of designing for decentralization, including education, security, and the psychological impact of self-custody. Lead design critique focused on crypto UX best practices.
Make it feel native: Crypto and FIAT currency go hand in hand in Deel. Workers can withdraw both to their benefit and you will need to create a seamless experience between them.
Drive Clarity from Cryptic Complexity: Navigate the deep technical waters of Web3 to distill complex cryptographic concepts, into crystal-clear user narratives and interfaces. If you can make a MetaMask transaction feel friendly, you're our person.
Outstanding Communication and Community Facilitation: Bring people together - from anonymous users to core developers - through inspiring design and clear narratives. Effectively communicate a design vision within a transparent, often pseudonymous, community environment.
Deep Passion for Decentralization: A genuine, deep-seated passion for Web3, and the ethos of true digital ownership. You are not just interested in crypto; you are an active participant.
Extensive Design Experience: A minimum of 7-9 years as a Product Designer, with at least 2 years leading holistic design as a Staff Product Designer (or equivalent title).
Data-Informed Design in an Anonymous World: Your design work is rooted in experimentation and evidence, utilizing qualitative data, protocol analytics, and on-chain metrics to back your decisions.
Comfortable with High-Stakes Ambiguity: Able to drive clarity and high-quality solutions in a Web3 ecosystem that changes daily.
Balances User Ownership and Protocol Requirements: Equally focused on empowering the user with true ownership (UX) and ensuring the integrity and security of the underlying protocol (Business/Technical needs).
Strong Communicator and Educator: An outstanding communicator capable of translating complex blockchain mechanics for a mainstream audience.
Mentorship Experience: Proven track record of mentoring designers, helping them navigate the unique security and usability challenges of decentralized design.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Experienced working in an 'embedded' fashion with blockchain engineers and smart contract developers.
Industry Knowledge: Solid-level knowledge of Crypto, DeFi, and digital asset management is non-negotiable.
Web3-Specific Expertise: Proven experience designing high-stakes interfaces for wallets, DeFi platforms.
