Sr Product Designer

Design at Magic

As a Product Designer at Magic, you’ll be leading this charge. We’re looking for a driven, opinionated designer who’s eager to challenge the status quo. Web3 has a serious UX problem and stellar design is a core differentiating feature for Magic. Magic serves two primary audiences: web3 software developers and their end-users. Developers rely on Magic’s SDK for passwordless authentication and key management. Designing for developers involves complex problem-solving, navigating non-linear customer journeys that span Magic’s marketing, website, docs, email, command line interface, and developer dashboard. By integrating Magic’s SDK, developers trust Magic to provide a secure, delightful end-user experience covering numerous login flows, account management, and soon much more. Your work will reach millions of users, providing them with intuitive onboarding and account management experiences that balance security and delight.

Requirements

In this role, you will:

• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and other stakeholders to build the roadmap, define project scopes, negotiate trade-offs, and routinely ship highly-polished features.
• Rally the organization around design concepts that present approachable, human-centered alternatives to current web3 standards.
• Design end-to-end authentication experiences that are equal parts secure and delightful.
• Optimize Magic’s developer onboarding flow based on quantitative metrics and user insights.
• Create accessible, extensible design patterns that will provide leverage for Magic’s ambitious roadmap.
• Host design reviews and workshops to facilitate effective cross-team collaboration and problem solving.
• Lead hands-on user research to create and socialize personas, advocating for Magic’s users across the organization.
• Offer a fresh perspective on internal processes, actively helping grow a culture of design excellence and effective collaboration at Magic.

We are looking for someone who has:

• 3+ years of professional design experience
• Updated portfolio of work
• Located in a timezone that shares at least a 4-hour workday overlap with Pacific Standard Time.

Experience and Qualities:

• You have a proven track record of leading projects from initial problem statement to public launch. You’re able to autonomously drive initiatives forward but know when, why, and how to involve other stakeholders.
• You understand that storytelling is a crucial design tool. You excel at clearly communicating your thoughts through writing, speech, and design artifacts.
• You’re adept at oscillating between pixel-level granularity and high-level strategy. You thrive at systems-thinking and see complexity as an opportunity for simplification.
• You’re deeply passionate about making web3 safe, inclusive, and accessible for a global audience.
• You’re comfortable working in low-fidelity and rapidly iterating. You share ideas through writing, quick sketches, or other mediums before diving into high-fidelity UI.
• You have strong design instincts and can identify decisions that should be validated with research.
• You value craft, sweat the details, and avoid cutting corners. You have a rock solid foundation of design fundamentals.
• You have experience creating and maintaining internal design systems. You’re also well-versed in industry-standard design languages (HIG, Material).
• You have experience defining, measuring, and owning product outcomes.
• You have a growth mindset and are unapologetically curious. You ask “Why?” before “How?”
• You’re able to thoughtfully provide and graciously receive honest feedback.
