Consensys is the leading blockchain and web3 software company. Founded by Joe Lubin, CEO of Consensys and Co-Founder of Ethereum in 2014, Consensys has been at the forefront of innovation, pioneering technological developments within the web3 ecosystem.

The financial system is being rebuilt on open, programmable infrastructure, and Consensys is helping power that transition.

Our mission is to unlock the collaborative power of communities by making the decentralized web universally easy to access, use, and build on.

Joining Consensys means working with a fully remote, globally distributed team of technologists, designers, cryptographers, product thinkers, and researchers who are building the next layer of the internet. You'll be exposed to new ideas, emerging technologies, and complex challenges that push you to stay at the top of your game while helping scale products and infrastructure used by tens of millions of users and thousands of developers across the web3 ecosystem. You'll join a network of builders that reaches the edge of our ecosystem. Consensys alumni have moved on to become tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, and team leads at tech companies.

About This Role

We're looking for a Senior Design Engineer to join the Consensys Design team, supporting MetaMask — the most used wallet in crypto. This is a rare opportunity to bring beautiful, intuitive experiences to millions of users engaging with decentralized applications and Web3 technologies every day.

As a Senior Design Engineer, you'll turn complex flows into simple and delightful experiences across our app and browser extension. Working closely with designers, engineers, and product managers, you'll take ideas from prototype to production — sweating the animations, haptics, and micro-interactions that make every interaction feel considered, not just functional. You'll build in React and React Native with an eye for pixel-perfect execution, contribute to our design system, and build agentic workflows that help the team move faster without cutting corners. If you love making complex things feel simple, care about craft down to the smallest detail, and want that craft in the hands of 30M+ users, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

In one sentence: Make MetaMask interactions feel intuitive, fast, and delightful — across mobile and extension.

• Build pixel-perfect interfaces in React and React Native, with obsessive attention to detail.
• Design and implement animations and micro-interactions that make every tap feel considered.
• Translate Figma designs into accessible, production-ready experiences with minimal handoff friction.
• Build agentic workflows and tooling that speed up design-to-code and day-to-day engineering work.
• Grow the MetaMask design system: reusable, accessible components built to scale across platforms.
• Move from idea to prototype fast and validate with real users.
• Push for craft everywhere — the small animation nobody asked for that makes an interaction click.

Key Experience

• Portfolio demonstrating delightful, polished interfaces and interactions — not just static screens, but the motion and detail that make them feel alive.
• Proven track record shipping high-traffic, consumer-facing products in React and React Native.
• Fluency in modern JS/TypeScript and cross-platform frontend architecture: performance, accessibility, and scalable UI patterns.
• An eye for interaction design and motion — you know when animations and haptics earn their place and when they're just noise.
• Strong Figma literacy — you read a design file like code.
• Good judgment about when to polish and when to ship.
• Comfortable working autonomously across a distributed, global team.
• Hands-on experience with crypto wallets, blockchain, or related Web3 products.
