Senior Product Designer

Aave Labs builds innovative products leveraging blockchain technologies, and they are seeking a Senior Product Designer. In this role, you will design intuitive and coherent interfaces for their web and mobile products, translating complex financial mechanics into user-centered experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Design end-to-end product experiences across our web and mobile products - from early exploration through polished UI
• Translate DeFi mechanics and data-heavy flows into intuitive, user-centered interfaces
• Create high-quality mockups and interactive prototypes that clearly communicate intent
• Contribute to and evolve Aave’s design system - ensuring consistency, scalability, and craft
• Work closely with engineering to ensure what ships matches the design vision
• Partner with product to shape problem definition, user flows, and success criteria
• Think through edge cases, error states, and loading scenarios — not just the happy path
• Utilise the latest AI tools into your day-to-day work

Requirements:

• Strong product design fundamentals - hierarchy, typography, spacing, interaction, and systems thinking are second nature
• Experience designing complex digital products (fintech, trading, dashboards, developer tools, or similarly technical spaces is a plus)
• Comfortable working in ambiguity and helping shape problems, not just solutions
• Experience contributing to or working within a design system
• A genuine eye for detail - you notice when something feels off, inconsistent, or unfinished
• Confident collaborating cross-functionally with product and engineering
• Able to clearly articulate design rationale and give/receive thoughtful critique
• Curiosity about web3 and DeFi — we're happy to bring you up to speed if the space is new to you
• Experience designing data-dense or high-trust financial interfaces
• Curiosity about AI and how it can improve product design and daily workflows
