Overview

Symbiotic builds the infrastructure beneath collateral markets so capital can secure obligations, remain productive, and be enforced by code. The Senior Product Designer will lead the product design function, making on‑chain complexity legible and partnering closely with leadership, engineering, product, and marketing.

Responsibilities

• Lead the product design function and collaborate closely with Leadership, Engineering, Product, and Marketing teams.
• Design full user journeys across Symbiotic's product stack, optimizing for clear user flows and legibility of on‑chain processes.
• Surface risk, exposure, and returns so users understand commitments and outcomes when conditions change.
• Run user research: interview users, observe behavior, and translate findings into concrete feature scopes for engineering.
• Partner with Engineering to define problems, weigh tradeoffs, and design within real protocol constraints.

Requirements

• Deep on‑chain fluency: wallets, approvals, signing, gas, transaction lifecycle, chain latency, and how these constrain design.
• Demonstrable experience shipping a DeFi product to real users.
• Portfolio showing end‑to‑end product work with systems‑level thinking and attention to detail.
• Track record of operating autonomously in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments with limited oversight.
• Comfortable building without existing scaffolding (no existing design team or design system to inherit).
• Experience running your own research and translating it into product decisions.
• Excellent cross‑functional communication and ability to collaborate closely with Engineering under scrutiny.
• Deep fluency in Figma and modern prototyping workflows.

Location

This role is based in New York and is remote (telecommute).
