Senior Visual Designer

Job Summary

Ellipsis Labs is seeking a Senior Designer to join our team. The ideal candidate will own the visual system for Phoenix and future products, turning complex trading mechanics and data into clear, scannable visual hierarchies and data visualizations that perform under real-time constraints.

Responsibilities

• Own the visual system for Phoenix and future products: typography, color, spacing, iconography, design tokens, and component theming
• Turn complex trading mechanics and data into clear, scannable visual hierarchies and data visualizations that perform under real-time constraints
• Build and maintain a Figma library/design system, ensuring consistency and speed of implementation; provide developer-ready specs and assets
• Drive visual polish on critical surfaces (order entry, positions, charts, risk states), including loading/empty/error states and micro-interactions/motion
• Partner closely with engineers to ensure visual fidelity in production and pragmatic choices under technical constraints
• Own the company and product brand expression across product surfaces and key moments
• Incorporate feedback, user signals, and metrics to iterate quickly without sacrificing craft

Qualifications

• 2+ years designing visual systems for complex digital products, ideally high-density or data-heavy (trading/finance, analytics, dev tools, etc.)
• Portfolio demonstrating strong visual craft (type, color, layout), system thinking (tokens/components), and clear data presentation
• Fluency in Figma (components/variants, auto-layout) and handoff practices; attention to detail across states and edge cases
• Comfort collaborating with engineers; ability to balance visual quality with performance and feasibility
• High ownership and bias to ship; you sweat the details and move quickly

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with crypto/Web3 design patterns and user behaviors
• Exposure to Solana or similar blockchain ecosystems
