Full description

Job Summary

Plume is looking for a Product Designer to shape how institutions and retail users interact with tokenized real-world assets onchain. You will own design end-to-end — from problem framing and user research through high-fidelity UI and shipped product — across Plume's core app, issuer/vault tooling, and partner-facing surfaces. You'll work closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to make complex financial and blockchain concepts feel simple, trustworthy, and fast.

Key Responsibilities

Design end-to-end user flows for tokenized asset discovery, onboarding, KYC/compliance gating, staking, and portfolio management.
Translate ambiguous problems involving novel financial structures (vaults, structured credit, treasury products) into clear, intuitive interfaces.
Build and maintain a scalable design system/component library used across web app, marketing site, and partner integrations.
Run lightweight user research and usability testing with both retail crypto users and institutional counterparties.
Partner directly with engineers to ensure pixel-accurate, performant implementation; review shipped work against design intent.
Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity mocks in Figma; present design rationale to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
Collaborate with Marketing on landing pages, campaign assets, and product launch visuals.

Qualifications

4+ years of product design experience, ideally with at least one shipped consumer or fintech product used at scale.
Strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership: research, IA/flows, visual design, and post-launch iteration.
Expert in Figma (components, variants, auto-layout) and familiar with handoff tools/workflows.
Comfortable designing for regulated, compliance-heavy flows (KYC/AML, accreditation, disclosures) without sacrificing usability.
Strong visual craft: typography, layout, motion, and systemized color/spacing.
Excellent written and verbal communication; able to defend design decisions with data and reasoning, not just aesthetics.

Preferred Experience

Prior experience designing for crypto, DeFi, or fintech products, ideally something involving custody, trading, or asset management.
Familiarity with wallet UX patterns (MetaMask, WalletConnect, account abstraction) and onchain transaction flows.
Experience designing for multiple personas simultaneously (retail investor, institutional allocator, internal ops team).
Basic fluency in HTML/CSS or React sufficient to prototype or collaborate closely with engineering.
