Full Job Description
We9re looking for a highly skilled, creative and self-driven Staff Product Designer to join OpenSea9s small but mighty design team. In this role, you9ll help define the future of how people discover, trade, and interact with digital assets-working closely with engineers and fellow designers to bring clarity and craft to complex problems. Design plays a central role in shaping product direction and strategy, so this position is ideal for someone who combines strong product thinking with exceptional visual craft. Beyond designing great products, you9ll help evolve the systems, workflows, and AI-enabled practices that make the entire team more effective builders. If you9re energized by ownership, collaboration, and the chance to design for millions of users in a fast-evolving space, we9d love to meet you.

Responsibilities
  • Lead design initiatives from concept through launch, collaborating closely with engineers and other designers to define and deliver high-quality user experiences.

Requirements
  • 7+ years of product design experience, across both consumer and platform-facing products
  • Demonstrated ability to own complex, ambiguous problem spaces and turn them into elegant, intuitive solutions
  • Strong product sense-comfortable thinking strategically and operating without the structure of a large product org
  • Strong experience designing mobile-first products, with a deep understanding of what makes for an intuitive, polished mobile experience.
  • Exceptional visual design and interaction design skills, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong aesthetic judgement, systems thinking, and meticulous attention to detail
  • Experience building, scaling, or maintaining design systems, component libraries, or other frameworks that improve product quality, consistency, and team velocity
  • Experience collaborating closely with engineers to ship high-quality, technically informed designs
  • Experience leveraging AI tools and workflows to improve design quality, efficiency, and team effectiveness
  • Breadth across UI, UX, motion & interaction, with particular strength in visual design, craft, and aesthetic execution
  • Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence and align cross-functional partners
