Job Description
Welcome to Utopia โฉ!
Similar to how most young professionals meet nowadays, our team originally met online (Discord and Twitter).
While hacking away together at web3 hackathons, our founding team became fascinated with DAOs. We believe that DAOs have the potential to revolutionize human coordination.
DAOs allow individuals across the world to collaborate, allocate capital, and make decisions towards a common goal. It gives access for anyone to capture direct value from what they create, and helps align incentives across millions, if not billions, of people.
Our vision is to build the infrastructure to scale DAOโs and crypto native internet organizations. And we're backed by top Crypto investors like Kindred Ventures, Coinbase, Gusto and many DAOs/DAO operators to bring this vision to fruition.
๐จ Design at Utopia Labs
Great design in crypto is rare - whether it's at the blockchain, protocol, or user-interfacing layer. In a space filled with technical complexity and confusing jargon; At Utopia labs, we believe that design/User Experience in itself is a key factor to lowering barriers of entry into crypto and DAOs and we aim to align ourselves with design leaders who want to act on this insight.
We believe in first-principles design thinking - in creating innovations in user experience, not just solutions for user problems. We believe in supporting artists who love crafting beauty and chasing perfection.
As a product designer at Utopia Labs, you will help craft our design vision and our product experience. If you're interested in championing design leadership in the web3 space, we'd love for you to apply!
