Who We Are

At Bullpen, we’re on a mission to unlock economic opportunity for everyone. Think all of crypto in your pocket, minus the noise. Short-term, we're simplifying access to entertaining and engaging trading products like memes and perps, which spark curiosity and draw new users in. Long-term, we’re gunning to outshine Coinbase or Robinhood with seamless on/offramps, flawless trade execution, and asset discovery that’s always relevant — from Bitcoin to a meme launched 5 minutes ago — all in one place. Co-founded by Ansem, we’re streamlining the journey into crypto with AI-powered social discovery tools (eg smart wallet tracking and copy trading) that help everyone — from fresh faces to seasoned traders — discover the best opportunities quickly.

The Role

We’re hiring a Product Designer (UI/UX) to be the heartbeat of our mobile product development. You’re not just here for aesthetics—you’ll own the pixels users see and tap, thinking through navigation, interaction, and copywriting to make complex crypto trading dead simple. You’ll visualize ideas in real-time to fuel constructive team discussions, ensure experiments succeed by making features discoverable, and galvanize the team with a bold vision of what our product can be. This is your chance to shape a consumer crypto app in a high-stakes startup with extreme autonomy.

Key Responsibilities

• Design sleek, consumer-facing mobile products that users can’t put down. Create interfaces so engaging that users can’t resist coming back—think addictive, polished, and delightful.
• Craft navigation, interactions, and copywriting that make features easy to find and understand, driving conclusive experiment results. Nail the details—intuitive menus, smooth interactions, and clear microcopy—that make features pop and experiments succeed.
• Turn complex trading concepts into intuitive, approachable experiences. Take tricky ideas like margin trading or on-chain analytics and design them so even crypto newbies feel at home.
• Visualize concepts in real-time during discussions, enabling the team to debate and refine ideas effectively. Sketch or mock up ideas on the fly in meetings, helping the team align and iterate faster.
• Learn crypto trading fast and apply that knowledge to your designs. Dive into crypto fast—grasp the nuances of trading—and weave that understanding into designs that resonate with users.
• Create and maintain a scalable design system that accelerates development and ensures consistency. Build a reusable, Figma-based design system so the product stays cohesive and the team can ship faster as it grows.
• Advocate for the user at every stage of the product development process, ensuring their needs drive decision-making. Be the user’s champion, making sure every choice—from features to layouts—puts their experience first.

Qualifications

• Proven success designing consumer-facing mobile products that users love You have a history of designing mobile apps that users can’t put down—products that look stunning and deliver experiences that drive engagement, retention, or other measurable wins.
• Mastery of Figma with best practices for organization, componentization, and layouts You’re a Figma wizard, building design systems that are clean, scalable, and developer-ready. You use components smartly, keep layouts flexible, and organize files so anyone can jump in and find what they need.
• Excellent UX sense; experience simplifying complex ideas for broad audiences You’re a pro at turning tricky concepts—like crypto trading—into designs that feel intuitive and welcoming, making them accessible to everyone from beginners to experts.
• Experience with animations for delightful UI elements You bring interfaces to life with smooth, purposeful animations that elevate the user experience—think subtle transitions or playful micro-interactions. Best of all, you design them in a way that engineers can implement without friction, bridging the gap between vision and execution.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and concisely You’re a natural at explaining your work, whether you’re rallying engineers around a complex new UI decision or pitching leadership on a design concept that reduces user taps. Your clarity keeps teams aligned.
• Experience with general graphic design (nice to have) You’ve got chops beyond the product, designing sharp marketing assets like social media graphics, email campaigns, or landing pages. Your work ties the product’s look and feel into a cohesive brand story.

Why Bullpen?

• Solve interesting problems: At Bullpen, we’re reimagining how people interact with crypto onchain. Here’s a small sample of problems we’re digging into: How do we make on-ramping as seamless as sending a payment on your phone? How do we give users quick access to the newest tokens while sniffing out red flags? How do we make concepts like limit orders, DCAs, and margin trading feel like second nature? How do we align incentives between power users who share great trades and new users looking for ideas of what to buy?
• Have a massive impact: You’ll join a highly visible team working on a consumer-facing app in one of crypto’s most popular categories. Your work will shape how users trade, discover, and engage with digital assets.
• Work in a growing industry: We believe permissionless digital assets are clearly the future of finance with some of the biggest fintechs (Stripe, Robinhood) doubling down on crypto as a key pillar of their business strategy. You will have the opportunity to work in a growing part (trading interfaces) of a growing industry.

Why Not Bullpen?

• The path is unpaved: We’re pioneering new ground in crypto trading, and there’s no step-by-step guide. You’ll need to adapt fast, pivot when things shift, and figure stuff out as we go. If you need a clear roadmap or hate uncertainty, this isn’t the spot for you.
• This is a startup: We’re all in—think long hours, high stakes, and a fast-pace. It’s exhilarating, but it’s not for everyone. If you crave stability or a chill 9-to-5, you’ll probably feel out of place here.
• We’re a high-agency team: We run toward fires, not away from them. Challenges are our fuel—we tackle them head-on, grow through them, and reward those who do the same. You’ll level up your skills faster than you thought possible, but only if you’re ready to embrace the heat. If that scares you off, this isn’t your crew.
