Mysten Labs is seeking a Staff Product Designer to lead the experience strategy for DeepBook, a financial stack on the Sui blockchain. You will own the design vision and execution across spot trading, margin trading, prediction markets, liquidity workflows, and first-party products that connect users and builders to onchain finance.
In this role, you will set design principles and priorities in partnership with product, engineering, and business leadership. You'll own end-to-end experiences across multiple product surfaces, including onboarding, funding, market discovery, order entry, transaction review and signing, portfolio management, collateral management, liquidation risk, settlement, and error recovery. You will design for diverse audiences—retail traders, experienced DeFi users, market makers, liquidity providers, institutions, and developers—while maintaining a cohesive product experience.
You will remain hands-on in high-priority work by framing problems, developing concepts, prototyping, testing, and reviewing implementation quality. You'll build a scalable design system and shared interaction patterns for dense financial data, including charts, tables, order entry, account states, alerts, and risk communication. You'll establish a practical research program using interviews, usability studies, product analytics, support feedback, and market observation.
You will partner closely with engineering to understand protocol behavior, transaction states, latency, data dependencies, security boundaries, and platform constraints. You'll also work with legal, security, marketing, business development, and ecosystem teams to launch products responsibly and communicate financial concepts accurately. Finally, you'll define design and product quality measures, connecting the team's work to activation, conversion, trading success, retention, support burden, and user trust.
