We're interested in hiring a senior product designer to join Context to help us build rug.fun.
This role is remote for people in North American and European time zones only. If you are based in SF and prefer in person, we're happy to offer flexible remote/in person work.
Context is a company formed with the goal of making web3 more fun and human.
We are the founding team behind mint.fun. mint.fun was acquired by Zora in 2024.
We now work on rug.fun – a new way to launch tokens competitively onchain. While rug.fun is early, we believe it has the potential to be the next important social primitive in crypto.
We're an early stage startup that's raised $19,500,000 from investors like Variant, Dragonfly, and Sam Altman to build the future of human readable web3.
A strong portfolio showcasing your expertise in user interface design for web platforms. Be proactive with good time management, and do not be afraid to share ideas. Our design structure revolves around individual contributors (ICs), and everyone's work will have a big impact.
Have the desire to improve our current design system and be comfortable with design handoff to engineers. As we are a 100% remote team who communicates our project details through Linear, good feature documentation skills are crucial.
Demonstrated skills in creating intuitive and delightful user experiences. We are always thinking of new ways to make the site more fun, but as it grows, so does the difficulty of keeping it simple. You should be passionate about maintaining our design principles of simple UX, anti-hype, and fun.
A creative thinker with a passion for exploring new ideas and contributing to rapid product evolution. You should be curious about new developments in smart contract technology and be able to brainstorm creative ways we could design around them.
Familiarity with web3 and blockchain is a plus
As a key member of our product design team, you'll showcase your proficiency to craft visually stunning and intuitive experiences. Your work will have a significant impact to the team as one of two designers at Context.
You’ll incorporate your prototyping skills and attention to detail into our platform's design language to enhance motion, aesthetics, and overall website polish.
You'll also leverage your proficiency in Figma to improve our existing design system, ensuring its scalability and efficiency. Collaborating with engineers, you'll confidently handle design handoff, ensuring seamless communication through Linear.
You'll be passionate about delivering delightful user experiences and constantly thinking of innovative ways to make our site more enjoyable. While the complexity grows, you'll uphold our design principles of simplicity and fun.
You’re open minded and flexible, responsive to feedback, and you’re ready to design things that may have not been on our roadmap. We are constantly experimenting and pushing ourselves to figure out the best experience for our users, and you are passionate about exploring this challenge with us.
For this role, we're offering a salary range of $150K-$275K + generous equity. We also have benefits such as:
- fully covered dental & health insurance for you and dependents
- yearly offsites where you can meet the team in person
- a hybrid/flex remote culture. Come into the SF office if you want to, or work remotely (for North American and European time zones only).
To get started, please email [email protected] with a link to your work. We're really excited to see your portfolio and prioritize applications that show a body of work.
Once we get a chance to read your application, we'll move to a phone interview where we can discuss your background, work and what you want in a job. You'll have the opportunity to ask any questions about Context of course.
After getting to meet you, if it's a good fit, we'll offer you a paid work project to get a sense of how you solve problems. If we move to a formal interview, we'll definitely use your work sample to anchor our conversations - why did you use X approach?
From there, we're flexible about how to move forward. For candidates we're excited about, we can either offer you a paid contracting role or move to a full time offer. It can be nice to have a full blown work trial, but we understand that might not work for everyone.
If you have any questions or feedback about this process, please do ask! We definitely want to iterate on it to make it as no nonsense, transparent, and friendly as possible.
