About this role

Magic Eden became one of the fastest companies in history to reach unicorn status, just 9 months after launch. Built on a foundation of crypto-native expertise and in-house engineering, we moved fast and proved the model. Now we’re taking that same energy into the next chapter: Dicey, our crypto casino and sportsbook platform targeting the $180B+ iGaming and sports betting markets. **About the Role** We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Senior Product Designer to help shape the core user experience for our sportsbook platform. This is a role for a high-craft practitioner who excels at executing complex, high-velocity consumer flows and collaborating closely with cross-functional peers. You will contribute directly to our most impactful sportsbook initiatives, elevate our design quality, and help mentor team members by setting a high bar for product craft. **The Mission** As a key part of this role, you will be the lead designer for our **new sports betting platform** 🎲. This is a rare opportunity to re-envision how the traditional sports industry operates by building crypto-specific products to support these use cases. Think of this as a unique opportunity to completely rebuild the consumer stack using crypto. Many of these will be brand new experiences that will require a designer to push the boundaries of what is possible. Great candidates will be genuinely excited about sports, and a passion for sports betting is a significant plus. You'll bring a basic understanding of crypto and a proven track record of creating best-in-class consumer experiences. This is a unique opportunity to build and shape a design function while staying deeply connected to the craft. Applicants must submit a design portfolio showcasing exceptional hands-on design work and their ability to lead projects. **Responsibilities** * **Act as the primary hands-on designer** for our sports betting platform, helping translate unique protocol work and novel concepts into intuitive and engaging user experiences. * **Define and drive the overall product design vision** and strategy for our sports suite, ensuring it aligns with business objectives and user needs. * **Lead the design of major features** and contribute directly with hands-on work including user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes. * **Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leadership** to align on roadmaps, prioritize efforts, and ensure a high-quality, cohesive user experience. * **Elevate the team through mentorship**, fostering a culture of excellence through direct feedback, design critiques, and sharing best practices in craft. * **Establish and refine design processes** (e.g., reviews, user research) that fit our fast-paced environment and empower the team to do their best work. * **AI-Native Execution:** We don't do slow, static Figma sign-offs. We operate completely AI-native, leveraging tools like Cursor and Claude Code to build, test, and ship high-fidelity functional prototypes at extreme velocity **What You Bring** * **6+ years of experience in product design**, with a proven track record of operating at a senior level (e.g., Senior, Lead, or Principal) with experience mentoring other designers. * **A basic understanding of crypto is required.** You should have a foundational grasp of the space (e.g., how wallets or transactions work) and a curiosity to learn how to design for decentralized platforms. * **A deep enthusiasm for sports.** A genuine passion for sports betting or the mechanics of sports markets is highly desirable. * **A compelling portfolio** showcasing both exceptional, recent hands-on design work and your ability to lead complex projects. Your portfolio should reflect a high degree of visual craft and strategic thinking. * **A "builder" mindset**, with a track record of operating with autonomy and thriving in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. * **Proven ability to lead projects** that simplify highly complex concepts into delightfully simple and intuitive user experiences. * **Expert proficiency in Figma** and other modern design and prototyping tools. * **AI-First Tooling:** Demonstrated experience or high comfort working with AI coding tools and LLM workflows to prototype interactive interfaces rapidly. * **Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills**, with the ability to articulate design decisions and build consensus from the team level to the executive level.
