Senior UI/UX Designer

About Interlay

We are looking for a talented Senior UX/UI Designer to lead our user experience and design process. You will ensure our cross-chain DeFi network meets people’s needs, are accessible to non-expert users, and present a strong visual appearance with a unique and identifiable brand. You will be working with both our Interlay and Kintsugi brands to bring Bitcoin to new networks in the first iteration and build out further products later on.

You are our perfect candidate if you have a strong track record of working with deep tech/fintech teams and a strong portfolio of successful UX projects. You are aware of the hard usability problems in building great crypto-applications.

You should be a quick learner with a systematic and organized, yet analytical mindset. If you’re also a perfectionist, passionate about your work, and an open and outgoing person, we’d like to meet you.

Ultimately, you will make our products user-friendly and your work will define our success at attracting and retaining users.

What you will do

• Design the web-based user interface and the user interaction flows for our cross-chain applications with a focus on our Bitcoin bridge
• Proactively drive and conduct user research to improve products based on systematic feedback evaluation
• Translate the user insights into artifacts (user stories, wireframes, mock-ups, and prototypes) around customer needs using Figma and other tools
• Solve novel user interaction issues related to cross-chain applications (multiple wallets, slow confirmation times, and early stage of software tools)
• Help prepare demos for new applications
• Stay up-to-date with competitor products and industry trends

What you bring

• Proven 3+ years experience as an UX/UI Designer, ideally at fintech/crypto start-ups (e.g. figma.com portfolio)
• Product orientation: you get things done in a small team and drive to release the best product possible
• Users first: you want to get users’ qualitative feedback directly and you can analyze user feedback quantitatively
• Thorough understanding of design systems and experience working with and applying them
• Experience with desktop-first responsive, prixel-perfect web design for different screen sizes (mobile, tablet, and desktop)

Nice to have

• You are a DeFi/cryptocurrency user yourself and familiar with the UX issues at hand
• Prior work with Tailwind-CSS and React

Benefits and Perks

• Research-oriented team
• Solve novel problems
• Stock options
• Remote working
• 30-day vacation
• Allowance for a co-working space
• Yearly retreat
