- Deep personal passion for crypto required
- A compelling portfolio showcasing both exceptional, recent hands-on design work and your ability to lead projects and mentor other designers. Your portfolio should reflect a high degree of visual craft and strategic thinking

- You will drive our design strategy, foster a culture of excellence, and lend your own craft to our most impactful projects
- This is a unique opportunity to build and shape a design function while staying deeply connected to the craft
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of product designers, fostering their career development through coaching and direct feedback
- Define and drive the overall product design vision and strategy for our NFT marketplace and mobile app, ensuring it aligns with business objectives and user needs
- Lead the design of major features and, when needed, contribute directly with hands-on work including user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes
- Own the vision and strategy for our design system, guiding its development while also contributing to its core components to ensure scalability and consistency
- Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leadership to align on roadmaps, prioritize efforts, and ensure a high-quality, cohesive user experience
- Establish and refine design processes (e.g., critiques, reviews, user research) that fit our fast-paced environment and empower the team to do their best work
- Recruit, hire, and onboard new design talent who align with our collaborative and ambitious culture
Application process
- Applicants must submit a design portfolio showcasing both exceptional hands-on design work and their ability to lead projects and mentor other designers
Our take
The total volume traded in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is well over $50 billion, and they have revolutionized the way that creators can monetize their work. Magic Eden supplies a platform for trading NFTs, that is distinct for its focus on gamers and the internet community. As well as functioning as a marketplace, which is the base capability of many competitors, it also employs vertical integration of NFTs within the games it hosts on its platform.
This unique focus has primed Magic Eden it for huge success - it moved from launch to Unicorn status in just 9 months and achieved ICO funding of $45 million in 2023. Although there are much larger NFT marketplaces, such as the market-controlling OpenSea, Magic Eden's incorporation of the Ethereum blockchain into its program (it initially only used the smaller Solana) indicates that it may be set to take on its older, more established competitors.
