Job Description

The Monad Foundation is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized tech. We believe that the Monad blockchain--the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--will help decentralized apps eat the world.

The RoleMonad Foundation is looking for a passionate and detail-oriented UI/UX Designer who thrives in the dynamic world of crypto and Web3. You will be responsible for crafting elegant, intuitive, and accessible user experiences on web, mobile, and other mediums for a range of web3 products and interfaces for the Monad blockchain. In this role, you will also work closely with Monad ecosystem teams-startups building on the blockchain- in providing design guidance, support, and execution as they build innovative decentralized applications.

This is a two month contract, with the opportunity to convert to a full-time permanent position.

What You Will Do• Design and iterate user interfaces for Web3 applications including wallets, dApps, dashboards, and trading platforms

  • Translate concepts into user flows, wireframes, mockups, and prototypes that lead to intuitive user experiences with final hand-off to engineering
  • Maintain and continuously evolve a consistent design system and UI component library for use within and across the Monad ecosystem for cohesive identity
  • Conduct and glean actionable insights from user research, usability testing, and data-driven design improvements
  • Work alongside cross-functional team members across marketing, growth, community, ecosystem, and engineering to bring ideas and initiatives to life
  • Collaborate directly with ecosystem teams and deeply understand their product and user flows in order to support their UI/UX needs, including consultations, design sprints, branding advice, and hands-on asset creation

Who You Are• 4+ years of experience in UI/UX design, ideally with exposure to crypto/Web3 products

  • A strong portfolio that showcases proficiency in creating landings and marketing design for conversion, and user-centric design solutions for complex and/or technical products
  • Expert in design-focused software and prototyping with Figma
  • Experience working in agile development environments
  • Passion for crypto, blockchain technologies, and the decentralized future

Nice to Have• Solid understanding of HTML/CSS and basic knowledge of JavaScript or frontend frameworks (React preferred)

Why Work with Us• Challenging problems. You’ll work on extremely challenging problems with massive impact.

  • Huge opportunity. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. Monad’s core innovations offer developers the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer for mass user adoption in crypto.
  • The right team. You’ll be part of an exceptional and highly-motivated team
  • Culture. We’re a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output. As an early member of our team, you’ll help continue to shape our culture.
