    Job description

    At Ethena Labs, we’re reimagining what money can be in the internet era. Our focus is on creating next-generation digital dollar products that bridge traditional finance and crypto infrastructure.

    Our flagship innovation, USDe, is a synthetic dollar powered by digital assets. It maintains its stability through a delta-neutral hedging strategy and has impressively grown from $0 to $15B in just 18 months.

    We’ve also introduced iUSDe — tailored for institutional investors seeking crypto-native yield opportunities within compliant frameworks. In partnership with BlackRock, we developed USDtb, a fiat-backed, GENIUS-compliant stablecoin now valued at around $2B.

    Beyond our core products, Ethena enables partners — apps, chains, wallets, and exchanges — to launch their own stablecoins using our backend infrastructure. Together, these solutions form the backbone of a more open, efficient, and globally connected financial system.

    We’re now gearing up for two major product launches and are looking for visionary talent to join us on this journey.

    The Opportunity

    As Head of Product Design, you’ll define Ethena’s design language and lead the evolution of user experiences across our ecosystem. This is a hands-on leadership role — blending design direction, UX strategy, and light product management responsibilities.

    You’ll report directly to the CEO and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including senior designers, engineers, marketing, and business development. Your goal: create world-class user experiences that make DeFi intuitive, accessible, and trusted.

    This position is ideal for a current Lead Designer or Head of Design ready to expand into broader product ownership and influence company-wide design strategy.

    What You’ll Do

    • Shape and execute the overall product design vision, ensuring consistency and clarity across all Ethena products.

    • Produce high-fidelity UI/UX designs, wireframes, and prototypes, while setting the standard for quality and creativity.

    • Conduct regular UX audits to refine existing interfaces, boost usability, and unify the design system across dashboards and touchpoints.

    • Lead resource planning and design scaling, including hiring freelancers or collaborating with external design partners.

    • Introduce efficient product management frameworks — from roadmap planning to stakeholder alignment and project tracking (Linear, Notion).

    • Build a data-driven design culture, leveraging user testing, analytics, and feedback from crypto-native users to guide decisions.

    • Mentor and empower the design team, encouraging autonomy, skill growth, and accountability.

    What You Bring

    • Proven experience in design leadership, driving UX strategy and influencing executive-level decisions.

    • Strong grasp of project management tools (Linear, Notion) for planning, timelines, and execution.

    • Deep expertise in visual and interaction design, with mastery of Figma and exposure to tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, Spline, Three.js, TailwindCSS, and WebGL.

    • Experience building or leading design teams, with a balance of creative direction and operational structure.

    • A background in user research, usability testing, and A/B experimentation to optimize design outcomes.

    • Solid understanding of Web3 and crypto product design, including DeFi UX, wallet flows, and blockchain-native UI patterns.

    Why Join Ethena Labs?

    You’ll be part of one of the most impactful crypto-native organizations in history — a team committed to reshaping global finance through decentralized innovation.

    We offer:

    • A creative, fast-moving environment where bold ideas thrive.

    • Full flexibility to work remotely from anywhere in the world.

    • Opportunities for personal growth, mentorship, and ownership over key design initiatives.

    If you believe in the vision of detaching the dollar from state control and building a freer financial future, we’d love to meet you.

    Apply now — let’s redefine finance together.
