Web3 Product Designer
About Fuel
Fuel is building a high-performance blockchain operating system that provides high throughput without sacrificing decentralization or security. Our project is a full-stack solution that lets anyone deploy a Fuel chain using any configuration they would like (Rollup on Ethereum, Sovereign chain, Appchain, etc.). Currently, our focus is to launch an Ethereum rollup to help scale Ethereum beyond its current capacity.
What we need from you
Until now, our design efforts have been led by our head of product, but it's time to separate the design into a dedicated role. As our first Product Designer, you will work closely with our head of product and a team of world-class engineers to build the best blockchain user experience the world has yet to see.
You’ll get to:
- Work on a team where you always feel like the dumbest person in the room
- Build out totally new product experiences from scratch
- Iterate rapidly with immediate user feedback
- Being able to define a unique brand and style guide from scratch
If any of that sounds exciting to you, then we would love to talk to you!

- Ensure the front-end team always have designs ready 3 weeks ahead of engineering sprints and are never blocked on design questions for longer than 24h
