Company mission
To do what is best for Ethereum’s long-term success.
Role
Who you are
- We are looking for an ambitious Product Designer who has experience in both web2 and web3 product management and UX design, to play a critical role in designing user-centric, visually compelling, and highly functional interfaces
- The ideal candidate combines strong visual design expertise with a deep understanding of UI/UX principles and the technical know-how to collaborate seamlessly with frontend developers
- Passionate about designing intuitive web applications that will be used by thousands
- Excited to lead a development team and drive the direction (feature-set, designs) of the digital products we need for Devconnect and Devcon
- Excited about using web3 tech built on Ethereum and enthusiastic about the power of decentralized, neutral, sovereign systems
- 5+ years of experience in product design, UI/UX, and visual design, for web and mobile applications, crypto-native applications, etc
- Strong knowledge of design principles, typography, layout, and scalability
- Experience owning and refining adaptive design systems and component libraries to ensure consistency
- Proficiency in wire framing to high-fidelity designs across web and mobile platforms
- Demonstrable familiarity with HTML, CSS, and front-end collaboration
- Strong sense of motion, interaction, and micro-animation design guidance
- Expert in Figma and keeping update on emerging design tools and trends
- Experience directing the vision of a product and managing a team (developers, communications person, graphics designer)
- A high-level understanding of Ethereum and blockchain tech (and the values ethereum applications should inherit)
- Strong sense of autonomy & ownership, able to continuously re-prioritize and juggle adjusting demands and requirements due to changing circumstances
- When you take on a task, you get it done. You proactively troubleshoot problems blocking your path, and the problems blocking the paths of others
What the job involves
- Our team is looking to improve devconnect.org, devcon.org, Devcon Archive, the Devcon PWA, and many more crypto-native “dogfooding” applications at Devconnect Argentina this year
- These application serve many thousands of visitors each year, and we look to set the bar high for how built-on-ethereum applications should work and how they should feel
- We're looking for someone who loves a good challenge and is excited by the opportunity to design production-ready applications for Devconnect Argentina and beyond
- As a team responsible for crafting the Devcon/Devconnect experience, we aim to integrate the digital and physical aspects into a cohesive whole. This unified experience often necessitates collaboration with both internal and external creatives
Our take
Likening itself to a “community of teams” rather than a traditional organisation, Ethereum Foundation is a non-profit that supports the development of Ethereum (the platform and programme language supporting the building and publishing of decentralised apps) and other related technologies.
Boasting the achievement of being the third highest crowd-funded project of all time, its open-source platform aims to decentralise the web, claiming “Ethereum is how the Internet was supposed to work”. The company has captured the attention of Microsoft and was incorporated in Microsoft’s cloud computing platform and services.
Acquiring significant funding over the years Ethereum is definitely one to watch. Releasing consistent new development and nurturing its long standing projects, the Ethereum Foundation has a strong base of values that have been kept on since the beginning. It'll be exciting to see how it evolves as the web world does.
