About Nexus
Nexus is building the foundation for verifiable finance, an economic system where every transaction, order, and settlement can be proven on-chain with cryptographic assurance. To do this we’re developing a DEX Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for the AI economy, powered by idle compute from millions of people around the world, and verified with zero-knowledge proofs. This is finance rebuilt for the future: verifiable, scalable, and open to all.
Nexus has raised $25M in Series A funding from Lightspeed, Pantera, Dragonfly, SV Angel, and more.
Design is a core function at Nexus. We believe great products emerge from first-principles thinking, deep user understanding, and close collaboration across design, product, and engineering.
The Role
We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer to lead end-to-end design for complex, high-stakes products at the intersection of Web3, financial infrastructure, and user trust.
In this role, you’ll independently own large problem spaces — from defining the right problems to shipping high-quality, production-ready solutions. You’ll act as a thought partner to product, engineering, and founders, using design thinking and first-principles reasoning to shape product direction.
This role is ideal for someone who wants both hands-on craft and strategic impact in a fast-moving Web3 environment.
