About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Lead with autonomy. Define and drive design work from scratch — identifying what needs to be done while raising the quality bar, and collaborating closely with engineers and leadership to bring ideas to life.
  • Design for clarity and depth. Make prediction markets, finance, and social networks accessible, intuitive, and engaging.
  • Prototype quickly and test ideas using tools like Figma, Cursor, and light code to explore concepts, validate assumptions, and refine interfaces based on real feedback.
  • Develop insights through research by talking to users, analyzing behavior, and extracting meaningful patterns that inform product direction.
  • Define and evolve our design system to keep the product cohesive as it grows.
  • Act as a force-multiplier by modeling great thinking, process, and collaboration across the company.

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years of experience designing high-quality consumer products, ideally in early-stage or zero-to-one environments.
  • A portfolio that shows system-level thinking while sweating the details.
  • Strong visual and interaction design skills, plus fluency in tools like Figma, Cursor, or V0.
  • Clear, thoughtful communication — whether sharing work, making a case, or putting together a presentation.
  • A bias towards ownership and action: knowing how to figure out what matters, even when the path isn’t obvious.
  • Deep curiosity about markets, incentives, and the future of truth.

Bonus: Experience working in fintech, crypto, or data-rich products. Exposure to trading, DeFi, or financial systems — or a hunger to learn quickly.

Compensation
