Job description

About Symbiotic

Symbiotic is the infrastructure beneath collateral markets, where capital can secure financial obligations, remain productive, and be enforced by code.

By changing the economics of onchain collateral, Symbiotic enables new categories of neofinance applications that were previously impossible to build - including credit, insurance, RWA liquidity, and more.

As institutional capital increasingly moves onchain, Symbiotic is positioned to become the coordination layer connecting capital and risk across the onchain economy.

Backed by Paradigm, Pantera, Cyber.fund, and Coinbase Ventures, we power 80+ vaults, 74,000+ active stakers, and 111 operators - with Chainlink, Nexus Mutual, and Cap Labs among the teams live in production.

Our People

We’re a tight-knit team of experienced builders working at the forefront of financial infrastructure. Our backgrounds span high-growth tech start-ups, leading crypto companies, major banks, insurers, and financial institutions. We work with ownership, a high bar for craft, and the urgency of an early-stage company - in an environment where people are trusted to take initiative and supported to do their best work.

We’re looking for talented professionals to join us at a defining moment, as Symbiotic helps shape the next generation of onchain finance.

What You’ll Do

• Own visual output across brand, campaigns, web, social, and launch moments, from concept to shipped asset.


• Turn complex financial infrastructure and products into things people can actually see and understand.


• Set and hold the visual system as we scale, not just as a guideline doc, but as consistent, recognisable output across everything we ship.


• Support event and content collateral: Prepares high-impact visuals for Web3 conferences, whitepaper illustrations, and blog graphics .


• Optimize assets for Web3 platforms: Ensures designs are responsive for web3 wallets, mobile apps, and animated formats, while adhering to crypto-specific trends.


• Produce motion and 3D work where it earns its place: product explainers, launch films, conference presence.

Who You Are

• Fast and good, not one or the other. Most designers have one. You have both and you can walk us through the timeline on specific pieces in your portfolio: how long it took, what the deadline was, what you cut.


• Deep in one or two areas, competent across the rest. Strong in brand or motion or 3D, able to hold your own in the others.


• Self-directed. You've scoped, sequenced, and driven real projects without someone telling you the next step and made the calls yourself when the brief was ambiguous.


• Someone who pitches rather than asks permission. You bring a direction and argue for it.


• Unbothered by direct feedback. We're small, fast, and radically transparent with each other.


• Sitting on a portfolio with real range. You shipped work, not concepts, ideally something you took from nothing to live under time pressure.

Nice to have

• Crypto, fintech experience — enough that you're not learning what a protocol is on the job.


• In-house experience at an early-stage company.


• 3D or motion as a genuine strength rather than a passing familiarity.
