Design Lead

About Gnosis Guild

Gnosis Guild is an applied research studio & venture builder developing interdependent software and radical primitives for the world computer. We enable new markets and resilient networks through distributed systems, programmable cryptography, and modular design, incubating category-defining products like Zodiac OS and Enclave. Our work treats protocols not just as technical systems, but as political and artistic mediums, grounded in mutualistic partnerships, open-source stewardship, and ongoing experimentation.

Position Description

We’re hiring a design lead to help shape the next phase of Gnosis Guild’s work. You’ll lead design across multiple ventures and brands (e.g. Zodiac, Enclave, Gnosis Guild), define the visual and experiential language of our products, and grow a small but high-leverage design team.

We’re early-stage and experimental by nature, so you’ll be working closely with engineers, researchers, and product leads from idea formation through to execution and iteration. We’re looking for a generalist designer that is comfortable moving between brand and product work, and excited to help shape not just how our products look, but how they feel and function for users.

• Design and oversee websites, docs, and other marketing and communication surfaces
• Collaborate closely with engineers, product leads, and researchers
• Grow and mentor a small but high-impact design team

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional design experience across product and brand
• Thoughtful design philosophy and leadership approach
• Proficiency or openness to experimenting with AI-assisted design workflows
• Strong organizational, communication, and writing skills
• A founder mindset with an ability to innovate on product direction
• A network of other designers and collaborators
• Comfortable with autonomy, ambiguity, and fast-evolving project scopes

Benefits

• As a builder-led org, you’ll be granted generous ownership in our DAO
• Contribute from anywhere in the world
• Competitive compensation level (salary + ownership)
• Flexible schedule
• Equipment reimbursement
• Overseas conferences and team retreats
• Async workstyle (limited meetings)
