Design end-to-end web and mobile product experiences for DeFi, translating protocol mechanics into intuitive interfaces. Create high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes, evolve the design system, collaborate with product and engineering, and consider edge cases, error states, and micro-interactions.
About us
Aave Labs builds innovative products leveraging blockchain technologies. Aave Labs' suite includes the Aave app, unleashing the Aave Protocol and its native stablecoin GHO, and Family, a design-first mobile crypto wallet. Our vision is to build a people-powered internet that benefits all.
Our culture
Having cultivated a thriving, collaborative culture, our team is kind, welcoming and passionate about what we are building. We celebrate differences and seek to develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool from all over the world. No matter where you are based, no ghost will be left behind and we appreciate every moment we get to work and have fun together.
About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer with a genuine eye for detail and a strong product mindset. Day-to-day, you’ll be designing the future of finance - translating technical constraints and protocol mechanics into intuitive, coherent interfaces that feel simple and deliberate.
You care about the details. The spacing, the hierarchy, the state that only appears in edge cases — that’s the kind of thing that matters to you, and it shows in your work. You think in systems, sweat the micro-interactions, and understand that clarity is a competitive advantage.
How you can make an impact:
- Design end-to-end product experiences across our web and mobile products - from early exploration through polished UI
- Translate DeFi mechanics and data-heavy flows into intuitive, user-centered interfaces
- Create high-quality mockups and interactive prototypes that clearly communicate intent
- Contribute to and evolve Aave’s design system - ensuring consistency, scalability, and craft
- Work closely with engineering to ensure what ships matches the design vision
- Partner with product to shape problem definition, user flows, and success criteria
- Think through edge cases, error states, and loading scenarios — not just the happy path
- Utilise the latest AI tools into your day-to-day work
Let's connect if you have:
- Strong product design fundamentals - hierarchy, typography, spacing, interaction, and systems thinking are second nature
- Experience designing complex digital products (fintech, trading, dashboards, developer tools, or similarly technical spaces is a plus)
- Comfortable working in ambiguity and helping shape problems, not just solutions
- Experience contributing to or working within a design system
- A genuine eye for detail - you notice when something feels off, inconsistent, or unfinished
- Confident collaborating cross-functionally with product and engineering
- Able to clearly articulate design rationale and give/receive thoughtful critique
Nice to haves:
- Curiosity about web3 and DeFi — we’re happy to bring you up to speed if the space is new to you
- Experience designing data-dense or high-trust financial interfaces
- Curiosity about AI and how it can improve product design and daily workflows
Haven’t quite met all the criteria? Let’s not miss out on the chance to speak. Whilst you might not meet every single requirement, you might bring other, more exciting skills to the companies!
Equal opportunities statement:
Aave Labs celebrates diversity and views each and every team member as a separate individual with their own unique identity. No matter your race, religion, gender, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation or even the wallet you use, we welcome you at Aave Labs. As an equal opportunities employer, we take accountability and believe in everyone's potential to build, create and inspire changes.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene
If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
