About Genius

Genius is building the next-generation crypto terminal and exchange — a platform with the deepest network coverage and the most liquid backers in the industry. Here, design isn’t decorative — it’s the conversion engine, the retention loop, and the soul of the brand.

As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll own design across product and brand for the entire Genius ecosystem. Your work will define how the world experiences crypto at scale — combining crypto-native speed and power with consumer-grade usability and polish.

Our users are discretionary traders, whales, and sophisticated investors with high risk tolerance. They expect clarity, speed, and precision — and your challenge is to deliver all that with elegance and emotion.

The Mandate

Design the Genius experience around two guiding principles:

  • Delight: Create frictionless, elegant user journeys that surprise and satisfy.

  • Dopamine: Leverage behavioral design that rewards engagement, drives repetition, and sustains long-term community stickiness.

Responsibilities

  • Establish and enforce the Genius design system across all surfaces — from trading terminals to onboarding flows, mobile, rewards, and referral systems.

  • Translate complex trading infrastructure into human-intuitive, emotionally rewarding interactions.

  • Partner with product and engineering to ship UI/UX that converts, retains, and scales globally.

  • Lead visual identity, brand language, and marketing design — ensuring coherence across web, product, and community touchpoints.

  • Design, measure, and iterate using data-driven feedback loops — identify what triggers dopamine, and double down on what works.

Requirements

  • Proven track record designing and shipping consumer-grade products, ideally in fintech, crypto, or other high-stakes digital systems.

  • Deep fluency in design systems, motion design, and interactive experiences — not just static UI.

  • Understanding of behavioral psychology and the ability to design for engagement without compromising trust.

  • Obsessive attention to detail — typography, micro-interactions, motion, and visual harmony.

  • Excellent communication skills; capable of defending design decisions to engineers, executives, and investors.

  • Strong sense of ownership, bias toward action, and comfort operating in ambiguity.

  • Above all: Speed. Precision. Craft.

Why Genius

  • Impact: You’ll define what the future of DeFi looks and feels like. We’re building the final crypto interface — and your design will shape it.

  • Upside: Aggressive token and equity grants aligned with company growth and performance.

  • Environment: Fast-paced, high-ownership, design-led culture in the heart of NYC.
