Job Description
OpenSea is the gateway to web3's next chapter-where NFTs, fungible tokens, and emerging digital assets converge to create open, user-owned economies. As a foundational player in the crypto space, we're building infrastructure that supports millions of users and sets new standards for how people discover and exchange digital value.
Our team is small but mighty: hands-on, fast-moving, and deeply committed to shipping meaningful work. We're remote-first by design, AI-empowered by default, and guided by values that prioritize ownership, trust, and progress. At OpenSea, you'll be challenged to grow fast while being supported by a talent-dense team shaping the future of crypto.
OpenSea is the largest decentralized application on Ethereum by user traffic, serving millions of users every month. Design Engineers straddle the line between being both technical contributors and product / brand designers - they specialize in producing extremely polished, delightful interactions and experiences that make static designs come to life. This is a unique, specialized role with a mandate to bolster frontend engineering efforts across all of our products, improve core design system implementation & consistency, and act as a close collaborator (and often direct contributor) to the design process.
Responsibilities
Work with design & frontend engineering teams to realize static designs into product experiences that have delightful interactions & polish with exceptional code quality, performance, and detail orientation.
Collaborate closely with designers by bringing a technical perspective to refining static design output and often directly contributing design concepts.
Improve and elevate core design system components and evangelize their consistent usage in OpenSea's products.
Design and develop interactive marketing collateral such as landing pages in order to elevate OpenSea's brand presence.
Desired Experience
At least 4+ years in software engineering with an evident focus on Frontend Engineering
Fluency in React, Next.js, and Tailwind.
Extreme design-oriented detail orientation and demonstrably good sense of craft.
Familiarity with best practices in crafting web animations & interactions
Opinionated, autonomous, and proactive - you don't wait to be told what to do. Fluency with programming in one of either JavaScript or TypeScript
Familiarity or experience with blockchain tech not strictly required, but a strong genuine curiosity & enthusiasm for the technology is required
The base salary for this full-time position in the United States, spanning multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $160,000 to $270,000 plus benefits & equity. Compensation for internationally based candidates will vary to reflect local market conditions.
If you don't think you meet all of the criteria below but still are interested in the job, please apply. Nobody checks every box, and we're looking for someone who is excited to join the team.
