Senior Product Designer

About Plasma

Plasma is a purpose built blockchain for stablecoin payments, engineered for scale, speed, and security. We rebuilt the stack from first principles to support the next generation of real financial applications. The network is fast, reliable, and fully EVM compatible using Reth as the execution layer. We created PlasmaBFT, our own high performance consensus protocol, and reached the cost efficiency and predictability required for real economic activity at scale. We believe stablecoins will reshape global finance and expand access to a more open financial system. But they need purpose built infrastructure that reflects how stablecoins move, settle, and operate. That is what we are building. We are redefining how money moves.

Team Culture

At Plasma, you join a team that is rewriting how the world interacts with money. We hire people who are relentless about their craft and expect that same standard from everyone around them. This is where you will do the hardest and most meaningful work of your career. We work with trust, clarity, and ambition. Everyone owns their craft, moves with urgency, and contributes beyond their lane. We back each other, we debate hard, and we hold a high bar for what great looks like. Plasma is built for people who thrive on challenge and want to leave a mark.

About Plasma One

Plasma One is our flagship consumer product: a neo-bank that bridges traditional finance and crypto into a single, seamless experience. Users hold dollars as USD₮ to spend, send, and earn, all from one mobile app. We are building for people underserved by legacy banking: those who need faster cross-border payments, better rates on their savings, and a product that doesn’t penalise them with hidden fees. The team is building rapidly toward launch, with a clear path to scale. This is consumer fintech on crypto rails. The blockchain is invisible; what users see is a product that’s faster, cheaper, and actually works for them.

The Product Design Team

The design team at Plasma is intentionally small, senior, and deeply embedded in the product. Today, it is led by a single designer working across the entire Plasma One surface area, from core money movement flows to foundational design systems. You would be the second designer to join, stepping into a role with real ownership from day one. Design is a first-class input into product direction, technical tradeoffs, and how users come to trust Plasma with their money. You will help define how design operates here, including how decisions are made, how work is reviewed, how quality holds under speed, and how a coherent system emerges as the product scales. There is no legacy process to inherit and no large team to disappear into. The work you do will set the standard for everything that follows. The team works in tight partnership with engineering, and designers are expected to think in systems, understand real constraints, and push for clarity where ambiguity is costly. The bar is high, feedback is direct, and impact is immediate. This role is for someone who wants autonomy, responsibility, and the chance to shape both a product and a design culture from near zero.

What You Will Do

• Shape how people trust Plasma One, crafting the surfaces that make a new financial system feel safe, clear, and predictable in everyday use.
• Lead end-to-end product design across core money movement flows, distilling complex systems into simple, reliable interactions that people depend on.
• Establish and evolve a coherent design language that scales across platforms and products, strengthens our sense of reliability, and reduces ambiguity for engineering.
• Transform research and user insight into instinctive, high clarity decisions that guide the product forward and deepen our understanding of what trust means in a financial context.
• Partner with engineering and product to deliver stable, polished features. Set a shared vision early, resolve edge cases with precision, and reduce design-related rework through tight alignment.
• Create moments of clarity, calm, and delight that turn confidence into genuine product love, helping Plasma One become part of a user’s core financial stack.
• Improve critical journeys such as onboarding and sending money, removing friction that holds users back and elevating the sense of reliability at every touchpoint.
• Pioneer new ways to make a stablecoin-powered financial product feel intuitive and essential, shaping a system that users choose not just because it works, but because they trust it.

Who You Are

• Senior and hands-on, with a portfolio of shipped work that solves real problems.
• Thinks in first principles, comfortable taking things from zero to one.
• Strong taste and judgment, grounded in user outcomes not trends.
• A generalist who can independently drive features from concept to production.
• Comfortable in fast-moving teams; with the ability to maintain quality under pressure.
• We are looking for someone who stands out from the crowd when it comes to their designs.

Nice to Have

• Background at top consumer fintechs.
• Experience scaling products rapidly (high demand / large waitlists).
• Experience joining close to a public launch and still shipping smoothly.
• Familiar with crypto and stablecoins, or eager to get up to speed.
