Status.im is hiring a Web3 Desktop Design System Lead
Compensation: $84k - $95k estimated
Location: Remote, Worldwide Zug CH
Desktop Design System Lead
Department: Design
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Remote, Worldwide
Reporting To: Hester Bruikman
Description
One of our goals is to transform our current chat functionality into a group chat competitor to Discord and Slack, but with the difference of being 100% decentralized, strongly censorship resistant (e.g. so that even ourselves are unable to censor any usage of our platform), privacy first, and utilizing open Ethereum token standards to manage permissions, incentivisation and monetization.
As a Desktop Product Design Lead you’ll be tasked with making Status Desktop as delightful a communication tool as it is private, secure and censorship-resistant. You spend your time on the finer things in life: smooth animations, elegant hover states, and perfect pixel ratios. You advise fellow designers on components they can use, and collect their requirements to work new components, states and variations—alongside UI engineers. You design in the open and develop documentation and presentation that your components deserve, so others can too.
