Lead Product Designer, Arc Platform

Circle is one of the world’s leading internet financial platform companies, building the foundation of a more open, global economy through digital assets and blockchain infrastructure. They are seeking a Lead Product Designer to shape how developers and businesses interact with blockchain-native products, focusing on usability and economic clarity.

Responsibilities:

• Design workflows and interfaces that expose the power of blockchains — such as transactions, permissions, programmability, and settlement — in ways that feel understandable and intentional
• Help users reason about value flow, costs, and tradeoffs (e.g. fees, execution, finality) without overwhelming them
• Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to define priorities and make tradeoffs across blockchain protocols, platform surfaces, and downstream products
• Identify repeatable models and abstractions that can scale across blockchain use cases and products
• Set direction for complex problem spaces, mentor other designers, and raise the bar for blockchain product design across the organization

Requirements:

• 7+ years of product design experience, with meaningful exposure to crypto, blockchain, or financial infrastructure products
• Strong ability to design across interconnected workflows that involve technical and economic tradeoffs
• Excellent interaction and visual design skills, applied in service of clarity, trust, and correctness
• Experience setting design direction, influencing cross-functional partners, and mentoring designers
• Ability to explain complex ideas, articulate design decisions, and collaborate effectively in a distributed environment
