About this opportunity
Opportunity Overview A Web3 company is hiring a Brand Designer to own the visual identity across brand, campaigns, web, social, and product launch moments, from initial concept through to shipped assets. The role sits at the intersection of design and crypto infrastructure, turning complex financial products into visuals people can actually understand. This is a full-time position for someone who can move fast without sacrificing quality, and who has shipped real work under deadline pressure. The company operates in the crypto and fintech space, which means the designer will work on everything from Web3 conference visuals and whitepaper illustrations to blog graphics and product explainers. The work spans static design, motion, and 3D, with an emphasis on producing assets that work across crypto wallets, mobile apps, and animated formats. The team is small, fast, and radically transparent, so direct feedback is part of the daily rhythm. This is not a role for someone who needs hand-holding or a detailed brief before starting. The ideal candidate is self-directed and has scoped, sequenced, and driven real projects without someone telling them the next step. They pitch directions rather than ask permission, and they can argue for their choices when the brief is ambiguous. The portfolio should show shipped work, not concepts, ideally something taken from nothing to live under time pressure. Deep strength in brand, motion, or 3D is expected, with competence across the rest. The company is part of the broader Web3 ecosystem, which means the work environment is shaped by the crypto industry's pace and culture. Teams tend to be distributed, deadlines are tight, and the technology moves quickly. A designer in this space needs to stay current with crypto-specific design trends and platform requirements, from wallet interfaces to animated launch content. The role offers the chance to define a visual system from the ground up as the company scales, rather than fitting into an established brand framework. # Responsibilities - Own visual output across brand, campaigns, web, social, and launch moments, from concept to shipped asset - Turn complex financial infrastructure and products into clear, understandable visuals - Set and hold the visual system as the company scales, ensuring consistent, recognizable output across everything shipped - Prepare high-impact visuals for Web3 conferences, whitepaper illustrations, and blog graphics - Optimize assets for Web3 platforms, ensuring designs are responsive for crypto wallets, mobile apps, and animated formats - Adhere to crypto-specific design trends and platform requirements - Produce motion and 3D work where it earns its place, including product explainers, launch films, and conference presence - Manage timelines on specific pieces, knowing what to cut when deadlines tighten # Requirements & Qualifications - Strong portfolio with real range, showing shipped work rather than concepts - Deep strength in at least one of brand, motion, or 3D, with competence across the rest - Crypto and fintech experience, enough to not be learning what a protocol is on the job - In-house experience at an early-stage company - 3D or motion as a genuine strength, not passing familiarity - Self-directed, able to scope, sequence, and drive projects without step-by-step direction - Comfortable making calls when the brief is ambiguous - Able to pitch a direction and argue for it, rather than asking permission - Unbothered by direct feedback in a small, fast, radically transparent team - Fast and good, able to walk through timelines on portfolio pieces, including how long they took and what was cut # Benefits - Full-time position in the Web3 and crypto sector - Opportunity to define and hold the visual system as the company scales - Work across a range of formats, from static design to motion and 3D - Join a small, fast team with radical transparency and direct feedback culture # How to Apply 1. Prepare a portfolio that shows shipped work with real range, ideally something taken from nothing to live under time pressure. 2. Be ready to walk through the timeline on specific pieces, including how long they took, what the deadline was, and what you cut. 3. Click the Apply button below to submit your application.
