Lead Product Designer Sportsbook

Magic Eden became one of the fastest companies in history to reach unicorn status, just 9 months after launch. Built on a foundation of crypto-native expertise and in-house engineering, we moved fast and proved the model. Now we’re taking that same energy into the next chapter: Dicey, our crypto casino and sportsbook platform targeting the $180B+ iGaming and sports betting markets.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Lead Product Designer to help shape the future of our platform. This is a role for a senior practitioner who is passionate about both mentoring a talented team of designers and contributing directly to key design initiatives. You will drive our design strategy, foster a culture of excellence, and lend your own craft to our most impactful projects.

The Mission

As a key part of this role, you will be the lead designer for our new sports betting platform 🎲. This is a rare opportunity to re-envision how the traditional sports industry operates by building crypto-specific products to support these use cases.

Think of this as a unique opportunity to completely rebuild the consumer stack using crypto. Many of these will be brand new experiences that will require a designer to push the boundaries of what is possible. Great candidates will be genuinely excited about sports, and a passion for sports betting is a significant plus.

You'll bring a basic understanding of crypto and a proven track record of creating best-in-class consumer experiences. This is a unique opportunity to build and shape a design function while staying deeply connected to the craft.

Applicants must submit a design portfolio showcasing exceptional hands-on design work and their ability to lead projects.

Responsibilities

Act as the primary hands-on designer for our sports betting platform, helping translate unique protocol work and novel concepts into intuitive and engaging user experiences.

Define and drive the overall product design vision and strategy for our sports suite, ensuring it aligns with business objectives and user needs.

Lead the design of major features and contribute directly with hands-on work including user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes.

Collaborate closely with Product and Engineering leadership to align on roadmaps, prioritize efforts, and ensure a high-quality, cohesive user experience.

Elevate the team through mentorship, fostering a culture of excellence through direct feedback, design critiques, and sharing best practices in craft.

Establish and refine design processes (e.g., reviews, user research) that fit our fast-paced environment and empower the team to do their best work.

What You Bring

7+ years of experience in product design, with a proven track record of operating at a senior level (e.g., Senior, Lead, or Principal) with experience mentoring other designers.

A basic understanding of crypto is required. You should have a foundational grasp of the space (e.g., how wallets or transactions work) and a curiosity to learn how to design for decentralized platforms.

A deep enthusiasm for sports. A genuine passion for sports betting or the mechanics of sports markets is highly desirable.

A compelling portfolio showcasing both exceptional, recent hands-on design work and your ability to lead complex projects. Your portfolio should reflect a high degree of visual craft and strategic thinking.

A "builder" mindset, with a track record of operating with autonomy and thriving in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

Proven ability to lead projects that simplify highly complex concepts into delightfully simple and intuitive user experiences.

Expert proficiency in Figma and other modern design and prototyping tools.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions and build consensus from the team level to the executive level.
