Summary

We’re looking for a highly skilled, creative and self-driven Staff Product Designer to join OpenSea’s small but mighty design team. In this role, you’ll help define the future of how people discover, trade, and interact with digital assets—working closely with engineers and fellow designers to bring clarity and craft to complex problems. Design plays a central role in shaping product direction and strategy, so this position is ideal for someone who combines strong product thinking with hands-on design execution. If you’re energized by ownership, collaboration, and the chance to design for millions of users in a fast-evolving space, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities

1. Lead design initiatives from concept through launch, collaborating closely with engineers and other designers to define and deliver high-quality user experiences.
2. Channel design thinking into our product development process, ensuring we’re solving real user problems with consistency & simplicity
3. Hone open-ended product ideas into actionable design directions through research, prototyping, and iteration.
4. Create end-to-end experiences balancing user needs, technical feasibility, and business goals.
5. Contribute to and evolve our design system to raise quality, consistency, and efficiency across all OpenSea surfaces.
6. Communicate design rationale clearly and effectively across disciplines, helping align teams around shared goals.
7. Help shape the design culture at OpenSea by modeling strong craft, collaboration, and curiosity.

Desired Experience

1. 7+ years of product design experience, across both consumer and platform-facing products.
2. Demonstrated ability to own complex, ambiguous problem spaces and turn them into elegant, intuitive solutions.
3. Strong product sense—comfortable thinking strategically and operating without the structure of a large product org.
4. Excellent interaction and visual design skills, with a portfolio that highlights both systems thinking and attention to detail.
5. Experience collaborating closely with engineers to ship high-quality, technically informed designs.
6. Breadth across UI, UX, motion & interaction, with deep skills focussed in 1-2 areas and comfort dabbling in the others.
7. Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence and align cross-functional partners.
8. Experience working in emerging technologies such as Web3, fintech, or AI—a big plus, but not required.

The base salary for this full-time position in the United States, spanning multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $175,000 to $275,000 plus benefits & equity. Compensation for internationally based candidates will vary to reflect local market conditions.
