Senior Product Designer

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
