The Monad Foundation is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized technology. We believe that the Monad blockchain— the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1— will enable decentralized apps to become ubiquitous.

The Design Engineer sits within the Design Team and owns the behavioral layer: interaction logic, motion systems, micro‑interactions, and high‑fidelity UI and prototypes that define how features feel before engineering builds them. This role shapes interaction specifications upstream of implementation, focusing on clarity, feel, perceived speed, and emotional UX.

• Define interaction models, state diagrams, and multi-step flows (idle → hover → press → loading → success → error).
• Shape transitions that improve clarity, trust, and perceived performance.
• Establish behavioral defaults and consistent interaction patterns across the product.

• Design motion as communication—timing scales, easing curves, hierarchy, spatial continuity.
• Build motion tokens and reusable interaction primitives (duration stacks, velocity scales, spring configs).
• Create GSAP/Framer Motion animations that reduce friction, explain system changes, and tell stories.

• Prototype flows in real code (Next.js sandboxes, isolated canvases) to validate experience early.
• Explore multiple variants quickly to answer UX questions before engineering commits.
• Pressure‑test complexity, emotional tone, and loading states through motion‑first prototypes.

• Design multi‑state component behavior (press, release, scrub, drag, kinetic motion).
• Shape feedback for transactions, loading, optimistic UI, and error recovery.
• Prevent user disorientation with subtle transitions, progressive reveals, and spatial continuity.
• Create an enjoyable, polished and uniquely branded experience through animation.

• Develop interaction and motion tokens for duration, easing, velocity, and transforms.
• Define systemized micro‑interactions for buttons, cards, lists, panels, and navigation.
• Collaborate with the design‑system team to integrate motion guidelines and behaviors into core components.

• Work with designers to refine flows, simplify complexity, and surface issues early.
• Work with engineers to clarify behavior requirements and reduce rework cycles.
• Provide guidance on constraints, feasibility, and opportunities to elevate the experience.
• Bridge the gap between design and engineering.

• Design loading behaviors that reduce perceived waiting.
• Establish patterns for skeletons, micro‑delays, optimistic UI, and sequencing.
• Diagnose friction based on user confusion, not just technical bugs.

• 5+ years in a hybrid design/engineering role (Design Engineer, Interaction Engineer, Prototyper).
• Strong GSAP or Framer Motion skills—beyond simple examples.
• Experience building prototypes in React/Next.js to validate flow and timing.
• Deep understanding of timing, easing, motion hierarchy, and when each is appropriate.
• Strong visual craft: spacing rhythm, type alignment, optical adjustments, depth cues.
• Knowledge of animation performance: transform/opacity, avoiding layout thrash, interruptibility.
• Comfortable shaping ambiguous UX spaces and exploring alternatives quickly.
• Communicates behavior clearly through prototypes, diagrams, and rationale.
• High bar for detail and interaction quality.

• Experience with FLIP/layout transitions, layoutId, shared‑layout strategies.
• Experience with WebGL/Canvas/SVG for advanced motion.
• Motion/integration experience within design systems.
• Prototypes synced with real data or simulated network states.
• Familiarity with mobile performance and motion accessibility patterns.

• Behavior‑first. You think in states, transitions, timing, and user intent.
• Prototype‑driven. You validate ideas through working examples, not static discussion.
• System‑minded. You favor reusable patterns over bespoke animations.
• Detail‑calibrated. Small timing/easing changes matter to you.
• Cross‑functional. Designers rely on you to reveal flow issues; engineers rely on you to clarify behavior.
• Autonomous. You turn ambiguous product areas into clear, testable interaction models.
• Pragmatic. You balance clarity, delivery, and maintainability.

• 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.
