Our mission is to bring web3 to a billion people, by providing builders with the tools they need to build exceptional onchain products. Alchemy is the only complete developer platform that offers the powerful APIs, SDKs, and tools necessary to build and scale onchain apps and rollups.

Our infrastructure powers 70% of the top web3 teams, 90%+ of web2 companies building in web3 and 100+ million end users. Our customers include top web3 brands like Polymarket, OpenSea, Circle, WorldCoin, as well as major global brands like Shopify and Adobe.

The Alchemy team draws from decades of deep expertise in massively scalable infrastructure, AI, and blockchain from leadership roles at leading companies and universities like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Stanford, and MIT.

We're backed by the world's leading VCs and institutions, including: Lightspeed, Silver Lake, a16z, Coatue, Pantera, Addition, Stanford University, Coinbase, and Charles Schwab, among others.

Your Role:

As a Product Designer at Alchemy, you’ll be living on the edge of an untamed design frontier, forging new paths for web3. You’ll work hand-in-hand with cross-functional teams—including engineers, product managers, and fellow designers who truly value design’s role in building great products—to transform complex technical problems into simple, elegant solutions that anyone can use.

Whether you're redesigning key elements of our developer tools or contributing to the evolution of crypto wallets, your work will directly impact how millions of users interact with the next generation of blockchain technology. You’ll have a chance to work across our product suite, gaining a deep understanding of our offerings, and over time, develop deep expertise and ownership over specific product areas.

 

Why Alchemy?

At Alchemy, you won’t just be designing for another tech product—you’ll be pioneering new ways consumers and developers interact with blockchain tech. You’ll be at the forefront of Web3 design, setting industry standards and pushing boundaries.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create Cohesive Experiences:
    • Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and other designers to deliver cohesive, consistent user experiences across Alchemy’s product suite.
  • Innovate in Web3 Design:
    • Solve novel problems in Web3 design by rethinking old paradigms and establishing new ones.
  • Deliver High-Impact Designs:
    • Start with sketches and wireframes, move to high-fidelity mockups, and guide the development team to bring those designs to life.
  • Advocate for the User:
    • Ensure that user needs and simplicity are always at the forefront of our design decisions, especially as Web3 evolves from developer-centric to end-user-focused.

 

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience:
    • 5-10+ years of product design experience, ideally in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
  • Skills: 
    • Proficiency with Figma
    • Strong understanding of interaction design, visual design, and user-centered design principles.
    • Familiarity with Web3 is a plus, but curiosity and eagerness to learn are more important.
  • Collaboration:
    • A team-first mentality with the ability to collaborate across different functions, share knowledge, and push the entire design team forward.
  • Creativity:
    • A knack for simplifying complexity and solving design challenges in new, innovative ways.
  • Ownership:
    • The ability to take full ownership of projects from concept to execution, ensuring high-quality design output.
