The Monad Foundation is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized tech. We believe that the Monad blockchain--the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--will help decentralized apps eat the world.
The Monad Foundation is seeking a Graphic Designer to elevate and systematize the Monad brand across our L1 blockchain ecosystem. You will design high-quality visuals and reusable systems that keep the identity cohesive while helping teams ship faster, spanning web, events, merch, campaigns, presentations, and ecosystem programs. You will turn complex, technical ideas into clear, memorable graphics with strong craft, restraint, and consistency.
You will collaborate closely with the Design, Content, and Ecosystem teams to ensure that all visual work aligns with Monad’s creative direction and design standards. This role requires a designer who combines creative problem-solving with structured, systems-level thinking — someone who can move fluidly between individual execution and scalable design systems.
Build, evolve, and maintain brand systems (templates, guidelines, components, iconography) adopted across products and teams
Translate brief/Figma handoffs into production-ready assets with clean typography, layout precision, and file hygiene
Design with motion in mind, creating layered styleframes and files that anticipate movement for seamless animation handoff.
With consistency across touchpoint and breakpoints, ship multi-format campaigns: web, social, email, event collateral
Define and maintain sub-brand frameworks for ecosystem initiatives
Create partner enablement kits (tooling, usage rules, asset specs) to scale brand quality in the ecosystem
Collaborate tightly with Design, Ecosystem, and Media on narrative, visual hierarchy, and system-level consistency
Establish clear pipelines: briefs, milestones, review/handoff checklists, export standards; reduce cycle time and rework
Proactively identify brand/UI debt; propose solutions and lead refactors without heavy hand-holding
Ensure accessibility by default (color contrast, legibility, reduced-motion fallbacks) and pass audits for public surfaces
Track adoption and performance of assets; iterate based on feedback and measurable outcomes
3–5+ years in brand/graphic design, with a portfolio spanning campaigns, events, merch, web/UI, and system thinking
Mastery of Figma and Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop; confident with exports, color management, and production specs
Strong typographic craft, composition, hierarchy, and consistent spacing/grid discipline.
Motion literacy with performance-friendly techniques and restraint
Operational rigor: time management, stakeholder coordination, crisp communication, and thoughtful rationale
Self-directed, ownership-oriented, and outcome-driven in a high-throughput environments
Motion: After Effects, Jitter, Rive, Lottie, UnicornStudio; Blender/Spline for lightweight 3D
Web: Webflow/Framer or front-end literacy to smooth design-to-dev collaboration and handoff
Web3 or developer-focused brand experience; agency or startup background
Experience with event/experiential design and scalable production workflows
Quality bar: You sweat details—type scale, spacing, motion timing, focus/hover states, empty/loading/error variants
Systems thinking: Prefer reusable patterns over one-offs; advocate for consistency at scale
Pragmatic craft: Balance elegance with delivery; choose approaches that optimize for user clarity and maintainability
Autonomy: Plan, communicate, and execute without constant guidance; escalate only when necessary
Collaboration: Work tightly with design/engineering, welcome feedback, and provide constructive critique with clear reasoning
Challenging problems. You’ll work on extremely challenging problems with massive impact.
Huge opportunity. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. Monad’s core innovations offer developers the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer for mass user adoption in crypto.
The right team. You’ll be part of an exceptional and highly-motivated team
Culture. We’re a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output. As an early member of our team, you’ll help continue to shape our culture.
