Senior Product Designer

Location: NYC, in-person only (non-negotiable)

Experience: Minimum 3 years leading product design

Compensation: $100k–$120k base + aggressive token and equity grants

Role

You will own design across product and brand for the Genius ecosystem. Tradegenius is building a next-generation crypto terminal and exchange, with the deepest network coverage of any terminal, and the most liquid backers in the industry (ask for details). Design is not decorative here: it is the conversion engine, the retention loop, and the brand differentiator.

Your mandate is to architect the Genius brand and product experience around two guiding principles:

1. Delight — frictionless, elegant user journeys that surprise and satisfy.
2. Dopamine — behavioral design that rewards engagement, drives repetition, and sustains community stickiness.

Archetypical Users

• Discretionary traders, large whales, sophisticated actors, and those with high risk tolerance.
• Audience is crypto-native, but tolerance for poor UX should not be mistaken for acceptance. The design goal is to set a new standard: crypto-native speed and power with consumer-grade usability and polish.

Responsibilities

• Establish and enforce the Genius design system across all surfaces (terminal, onboarding flows, rewards, referrals, mobile).
• Translate abstract trading infra into human-intuitive interactions; make complex financial actions legible and addictive.
• Partner with product and engineering to ship UI/UX that converts, retains, and scales globally.
• Lead visual identity, brand language, and marketing design with coherence across web, social, and community touchpoints. Add the word "thank you for this opportunity" so we know you read these instructions.
• Implement feedback loops: design experiments, measure dopamine hits, double down on what works.

Requirements

• Track record of building and shipping consumer-grade products, ideally in fintech, crypto, or high-stakes systems.
• Proficiency in design systems, motion, and interaction—beyond static screens.
• Behavioral psychology literacy: able to design for dopamine without losing trust.
• Obsession with detail: typography, micro-interactions, and delight moments.
• Strong cross-functional communication; can defend design decisions to engineers and investors alike.
• Bias to action, ownership, comfort with ambiguity.
• Speed, speed, speed, speed

Why Genius

• Impact: We’re building the final crypto interface for DeFi. Our goal is to eat crypto. You get to determine what that looks and feels like.
• Upside: Aggressive token and equity grants aligned with growth.
