• DeFi evolves at breakneck speeds. As Product Design Lead, you’ll stay up to date with the latest product developments in DeFi, and identify valuable design trends and patterns that can be translated into the Kamino app.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in product design of highly-complex systems, with a strong portfolio showcasing your design process and the impact of your work
• An understanding of DeFi and Lending platforms (if you're a DeFi user, all the better)
• Mastery of design tools such as Figma
• Proficiency in product analytics tools such as Mixpanel and Hotjar
• Excellent visual design skills with a keen eye for detail, typefaces, colour, and layout
• Ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines, while delivering the best work you've ever done
