We’re looking for a hands-on, self-driven UI/UX Product Designer to own end-to-end product UI/UX for Status Apps across mobile, desktop, and web.

Our mission is to give people the freedom to communicate and transact privately, without surveillance or intermediaries. If you want to design for freedom, privacy, decentralisation, and censorship-resistance — not just another SaaS dashboard—read on.

At Status, we’re building a privacy-preserving Super App for secure, confidential communication and financial coordination with friends, communities, and business partners. The Status app brings together:

an anonymous, peer-to-peer private messenger that makes it easy to communicate and coordinate your financial transactions and interactions in one place;
a secure, self-custodial, multi-chain crypto wallet to manage your assets without giving up your privacy;
censorship-resistant, decentralised communities for people who value privacy, freedom, and autonomy in their digital interactions.

This role isn’t about handing over perfect Figma files—it’s about working with Product and Developers on UI/UX that balances usefulness and aesthetics, enabling fast development iterations, and setting up a design process that empowers developers to move forward on their own when possible—while you focus on big, strategic design challenges (UI/UX research for new features, complex flows, new capabilities).

You’ll join a team that values usefulness over pixel perfection and believes UI/UX should be plain and simple, emphasising product usefulness while still being aesthetic. Inspired by Dieter Rams’ design principles, we believe design should be:

Useful—solving real user needs and making complex crypto interactions simple.
Aesthetic—pleasing and coherent, because good design feels good to use.

You should be a driver and a self-starter—ready to roll up your sleeves and take care of end-to-end UI/UX for the Status apps (mobile, desktop, and web), while working in tandem with the Program Lead on user research and use-case refinement. This role requires a strong understanding of mobile UI/UX and creating designs that work across devices—from mobile to desktop and web. Your UI/UX won’t be created in isolation—it will be based on product requirements, user research, and development team input on technical feasibility.

Responsibilities:

Work with product and developers on defining and refining user flows / journeys, use cases, user interfaces for new and existing Status App features
Produce storyboards, wireframes, mockups, interactive prototypes, UI kits for the Status app products that work across mobile, desktop, and web — but know when “good enough” is better than perfect.
Research and prototype new feature UI/UX implementations.
Set up UI/UX design workflows that scale UI/UX design without the development team needing you in every detail.
Develop and maintain a cohesive design system aligned with the Status brand.
Build an understanding of system capabilities to anticipate error states, loading states, and overall implementation effort.
Integrate with our development team to ensure they receive UI/UX design support as they progress on development.
Work with product on user research and usability testing to guide product decisions.
Translate complex crypto and Web3 concepts into clear, intuitive experiences.

We are looking for:

2+ years’ mobile UI/UX experience with designs that work across mobile, desktop, and web (must-have). You’ll be asked to demonstrate cross-device examples from your portfolio.
Startup experience and comfort with fast-paced, ever-changing/adaptable environments.
UI/UX work for Web2/Web3 products — at least one of: crypto wallets, messengers, or social platforms.
Active participant in web3/crypto/privacy — not just a user (open-source contributions, dev-community activity, small projects, etc.). Tell us :)
Comfortable moving and iterating fast on UI/UX: reuse existing components/designs where reasonable; avoid long explorations; produce “bare” first iterations (no whistles and bells).
Strong Figma skills, and open to other design tools, if needed.
Able to create/edit product images/videos as needed (good enough and authentic).
Organised without being robotic — plan and prioritise according to the roadmap and product priorities, but ready to jump on urgent or unexpected work.
Strong communication and collaboration in a fully remote, async-first environment.
Autonomous — comfortable working asynchronously, remotely, and without constant oversight.
Curious — always learning and tracking what’s happening in tech, privacy, and decentralisation.
Located in or near the European time zone.
Fluent in English.

Bonus Points:

Open-source contributions or experience working in public repositories (e.g., GitHub).
Able to create product and ad illustrations.
UI/UX experience working on an open-source project.
Strong interest in Web3/blockchain/decentralised technologies.

Why Join us?

Work on apps that respect people’s privacy and autonomy, not exploit them.
Fully remote, async-first culture — built for independence, not micromanagement.
Small, agile team where your work directly shapes the product.
Open-source ethos: your work is public, transparent, and impactful.

Hiring process:

The hiring process for this role will be:

Intro call with Talent team member
Portfolio review on UI/UX design and component decisions with our UI/UX designer
Task + debrief interview (Optional)
Product Lead interview

The steps may change along the way if we see it makes sense to adapt the interview stages, so please consider the above as a guideline.

Compensation:

We are happy to pay in 100% fiat or any mix of fiat and/or crypto. For more information regarding perks at Status: https://people-ops.status.im/tag/perks/
