What the job involves

As a Sr. Product Designer at Overclock Labs, you will work closely with the product and engineering teams to design the user experience and interfaces that will be used by our customers and partners
This includes, working on UX and design for Akash Deployment Console (UI), Provider Console (UI) and Command-Line-Interface design (CLI) as well as contributing to design of some web and documentation assets that connect to the products - like the GPU pricing page, the stats page, API pages and more (that we haven’t even conceived of yet!)
Our Stack:
Designs are currently done primarily in Figma, and Tailwinds is used for UI components
Golang, JavaScript, Kubernetes & Docker are other key technologies used

Our take

The networking infrastructure that powers the way digital applications are designed has changed dramatically over the last decade, with recent innovations including cloud computing and blockchain technology. Combining these technologies can lead to the launching of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, blockchain networks, and other innovative digital products, but achieving this can be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive.

Overseen by parent company Overclock Labs, Akash Network provides a distributed peer-to-peer marketplace for cloud computing that allows developers to launch DeFi applications rapidly. The software allows pre-developed applications to be packaged in containers with predetermined prices and resource requirements, helping cloud-native, decentralized and serverless apps to be deployed at rapid speeds and at lower costs.

Whilst the solutions that Akash Network provides can already be achieved by software engineers with expertise in cloud computing and blockchain technology, the company recognized that cheaper, simpler, and faster solutions are required for the Web3 vision to scale. The company hopes that its ecosystem will disrupt the centralized cloud platform market, making decentralized apps easier to develop and more consumable.
