About Us

Chainlink Labs is the primary contributing developer of Chainlink, the decentralized computing platform powering the verifiable web. Chainlink is the industry-standard platform for providing access to real-world data, offchain computation, and secure cross-chain interoperability across any blockchain. Chainlink Labs helps power verifiable applications for banking, DeFi, global trade, and gaming by collaborating with some of the world’s largest financial institutions, notably Swift, DTCC, and ANZ. Chainlink Labs also works with top Web3 teams, including Aave, Compound, GMX, Maker, and Synthetix. Chainlink Labs was ranked in Newsweek’s 100 Most Loved Workplaces 2023 in both the United States and United Kingdom.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer with deep visual storytelling ability and strong product-thinking instincts to join our Executive Office. This role is ideal for a designer who thrives at the intersection of technical comprehension and visual clarity—someone who can take complex, abstract Web3 concepts and craft compelling, visually accurate diagrams and narratives that resonate with a variety of audiences.

You’ll work closely with Chainlink’s founder and other senior leaders to visually articulate product vision and technical strategy. You will translate raw ideas and dense technical information into high-quality visuals—architecture diagrams, conceptual illustrations, slides, and occasionally animations—that are both visually stunning and deeply informative. You’ll be a design partner to leadership and marketing, playing a critical role in shaping how we communicate Chainlink’s mission, roadmap, and innovations internally and externally.

Your Impact

• Translate complex Web3 concepts into clean, technically accurate diagrams, visual frameworks, and architecture flows with high aesthetic polish
• Create first-class presentation materials (Google Slides and Keynote) that support internal and external communication, from investor decks to technical overviews and visionary storytelling
• Incorporate product thinking into visual design—understand what’s being communicated, why, and how it will be consumed by different stakeholder types (devs, partners, press, internal)
• Collaborate closely with executives (including the founder), marketing, product, and technical leaders to shape the visual strategy and execution
• Develop multiple creative directions and iterate quickly based on feedback, ensuring alignment with message clarity and brand standards
• Design with high attention to detail across both static and motion media; contribute animation and motion graphics when helpful to improve comprehension or impact
• Help evolve and maintain our visual brand guidelines, especially for executive-facing materials and technical illustrations
• Stay on top of design trends in storytelling, information design, and motion/interactive visuals
• Contribute to design reviews, share feedback with peers, and help level up the team’s approach to visual systems thinking

Requirements

• At least 8+ years of design experience, including a strong portfolio of technical diagrams, product visualizations, and executive-level presentations
• Proven ability to turn ambiguous, complex technical topics into structured, clear, and engaging visuals
• Deep familiarity with Web3, blockchain primitives, and emerging infrastructure—ideally with previous experience working in the space or strong demonstrable understanding
• Product design mindset: can reason about user goals, communication intent, and how visual hierarchy supports comprehension
• Mastery of Google Slides, Keynote, Adobe Illustrator, and Figma. Bonus: experience with After Effects, and motion tools
• Strong collaboration skills and experience partnering with senior stakeholders, executives, and cross-functional teams
• Proactive, organized, and self-directed; can manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment
• UI/UX design experience is a plus
• Blockchain interest or experience (preference for familiarity with Chainlink)

Preferred Requirements

• Experience working in a remote, async-first environment
• Strong grasp of branding and visual identity systems, especially in a highly technical product space
• Experience facilitating or contributing to design processes that span both marketing and product orgs
• Enthusiasm for shaping how the world understands new technology such as blockchain
