Job description

You will own the surfaces where a protocols power structure becomes legible: the node map, the permissions view that de-anonymizes who holds control, and the reports institutions read before they allocate. You will sit close to research and product, shaping the work as it is defined, not just decorating it after.

What you'll do

• Design the permissions map and node graph that turn raw on-chain power into something an allocator can read at a glance.
• Shape the evaluation reports so a risk verdict is clear, credible, and institutional.
• Work directly with research and engineering, from the PRD through to shipped product.
• Hold the visual standard across the product and the brand as the team grows.

What we're looking for

• A portfolio of shipped product work where complex data was made genuinely legible.
• Strong craft across interaction and visual design, with a feel for dense information.
• Comfort owning ambiguity early: defining the problem alongside research, not waiting for a spec.
• Clear rationale: you can explain why a design lowers the cost of understanding risk.

Nice to have

• Experience designing data, security, or financial tooling.
• Fluency with crypto, on-chain data, or governance.
• Ability to prototype in code.

Compensation

The salary range for this role is $140K to $185K, based on experience, plus equity and benefits. The range is shown up front so you know where you stand before the first call.
