Founding Product Designer

Why Seal

Seal is building out a P2P prediction protocol where bets are made with friends, not against a faceless house. We offer a fully decentralized, transparent, and user-centric betting experience, one without geographic restrictions, stacked odds, and slow payouts. Started by repeat founders from Y Combinator, Facebook, Brave, and MIT – our mission is to empower users to predict in a fair and competitive environment.

Why you should join

Culture is paramount for us. Our values are:

• User-obsessed
• Operate from first principles
• Data-autonomous (go beyond data-driven)
• The best ideas win
• Transparency remains the ultimate disinfectant
• Be comfortable being uncomfortable
• Bias for action
  
  

The Role

Seal is looking for its first product designer. We want someone who is willing to make Seal a leader not just in smart contracts, but across design. Smart contracts are a new primitive whose potential still isn’t fully understood. Your goal is to unlock that potential. Everything design – the product, logo, mascot, and style guide – will be under your purview. You will help set the product vision with engineering. If we’re right, together we will have fundamentally changed how people interact with finance.
