Job leads — 28 Jul 2026
Market pulse
Chrome connected ✓ — read the JS boards directly (Fractional Jobs, Go Fractional design + product, web3.career, UX Jobs Board freelance). Plus ~6 WebSearch passes across fractional/contract, design-engineer, web3, and remote-general sources.
Rough counts: Fractional Jobs 70 live (0 design/product that fit — the design slots are still Cro Metrics, Elemental, 223, and the Mental Health Marketplace lead, all already logged); Go Fractional design 13 / product 8 (all either already seen — Connected Product Design Co, Cambly, Teal, PaceMate, Ad Tech VP, Gesture, Omnidian — or agency/on-site/geo-locked); web3.career design 15 (all STRETCH full-time, all already logged — Bitpanda ×4, Blockchain, Taxbit, Shakepay, Tastylive, Stokr, Alpaca); UX Jobs Board freelance ~90 (top of feed is research/on-site/geo-locked; the remote product ones — Superhuman, Nex, Current, Bringg — are already logged).
Trend: a quiet day — 0 genuinely new CORE leads. The boards haven’t refreshed much since the 26–27 Jul sweeps. Rather than a bare “0 new,” I’m re-flagging the three strongest still-open CORE roles below so there’s always something actionable.
CORE — new leads
None new today. Everything that fits foogy’s filters was already surfaced in the
past week and logged in _seen.md. Re-flagging the best still-open ones (verified
live on the boards this morning):
- Web3 Product Designer, Network — Nova Labs (Helium) · contract, part-time ~20h, Remote (US), $75–100/hr · https://web3.career/product-designer-network-contract-pt-novalabs/100493
- Fit: web3 + contract + part-time + US-tz — the tightest match to foogy’s edge. Angle: crypto background + design→code; lead with the /pm bridge and a Helium-ecosystem prototype.
- Fractional Senior Product Designer — Uprise · contract, ~20h, Remote (US), fintech · https://www.fractionaljobs.io/jobs/senior-product-designer-at-uprise
- Fit: fintech + fractional + US-tz. Angle: fintech/e-comm portfolio + systems thinking; foogy.xyz plus a fintech flow teardown.
- Fractional Senior Product Designer (Staff Level) — Connected Product Design Company · contract, 5–20h, Remote (Minnesota, US), $75–155/hr · https://www.gofractional.com/jobs/design
- Fit: staff-level, low-hours, direct-with-company, verified still live (posted 14d). Angle: full-scope design-systems + design→code; a small systems case study lands well here.
Also still open and worth a look: Yaysay (Fractional Product Design Lead, fully remote 10–20h — https://www.fractionaljobs.io/jobs/product-design-lead-at-yaysay), Bringg (UX/Product Design Lead, contract, Remote Anywhere, SaaS), and Nex (Product Designer, contract, Remote US, $125–175k) — all logged 26–27 Jul, all still listed today.
Stretch (full-time)
No new full-time roles either — the web3.career design board is unchanged from the 27 Jul sweep. The freshest still-open stretch roles (all 6 days old, design→code / web3 edge):
- Principal Product Designer — Bitpanda · Remote, $117–165k · https://web3.career/design+remote-jobs — web3/fintech, senior IC.
- UI Engineer — Taxbit · Remote, $110–170k · https://web3.career/design+remote-jobs — pure design→code (foogy’s front-of-the-front-end strength).
- Senior Product Designer, Consumer — Blockchain · Remote, $98–120k · https://web3.career/design+remote-jobs — consumer web3.
Notes
- No new rows appended to
_seen.mdtoday (nothing new to log). - Coverage was good (Chrome worked); the low yield is the market, not a blind spot. If quiet days persist, worth adding Contra/Wellfound filtered listings and Pangea to the daily Chrome pass, and a Lenny’s Job Board scrape for fresh PM roles.
