Lead Product Designer

About Magic Labs
If you’re excited about working on the forefront of chain abstraction, user experience and elevated design, we'd love for you to join our team.

Magic pioneered wallet abstraction in 2018, onboarding over 35 million wallets and 190,000 developers. We helped to create invisible wallet experiences for web3 trailblazers like Polymarket, Helium, WalletConnect and Immutable, as well as Fortune 500 brands like Forbes, Naver and Mattel. We've raised over $80 million from notable investors, including PayPal Ventures, Lightspeed, Placeholder, SV Angel, Naval Ravikant, and Balaji Srinivasan.

Today, Magic operates at the forefront of blockchain innovation, providing cutting-edge infrastructure and developer tooling to everyone building onchain. Our mission is to abstract away all technical complexity, empowering developers to create accessible end-user experiences. We believe every internet user should have access to apps and experiences onchain without the headache of traditional self-custody wallets—and the hassle of navigating siloed blockchain networks.

After setting the standard for wallet abstraction, Magic is on a mission to pioneer the next phase of abstraction: chain abstraction. With so many L1s, L2s and L3s entering the space in addition to new VMs, it’s never been more crucial to solve identity and liquidity fragmentation that spans across chains—this is how we’ll achieve true interoperability and seamless user experiences. Magic is building a unified, cross-chain network that will maximize efficiency and accessibility for developers and users alike. 

The Role

We're seeking a Lead Product Designer to join Magic’s small but mighty design team. The ideal candidate is an experienced design generalist adept at thinking holistically, navigating ambiguity, and sweating the details. You'll work closely with Product and Engineering partners, driving the entire end-to-end design process from initial product definition through to hand-off and post-release iteration.

This position is fully remote, and we’d love to see applicants across the US and Canada, with a preference for hybrid NYC talent.

• Set the bar for craft, creativity, and customer empathy
• Champion UX innovation across web3 through a deep understanding of design best practices, blockchain fundamentals and emerging trends
• Build prototypes and conduct user research to validate design decisions, empathize with users, and rapidly iterate
• Contribute to Magic's design system, ensuring teams can move fast without sacrificing quality or consistency
• Mentor and potentially grow the design team, fostering a culture of design excellence

You have:

• Strong passion for Web3 and blockchain knowledge, ideally Ethereum.
• 6+ years of product design experience, preferably within web3, developer tooling, and/or startup environments
