Pitch — Senior Product Designer, Solana Foundation ★ TARGET ROLE
Link: https://uiuxjobsboard.com/job/1507926-remote-anywhere-senior-product-designer Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/solana%20foundation/3ea82c08-496e-4908-a5e2-54717dc44262 Type: Full-time · Remote (Anywhere) · Solana Foundation (non-profit, Zug CH) Products: Foundation-owned web tools (e.g. tokens.solana.com) for developers, institutions, ecosystem.
Verdict: strong fit (one honest caveat)
This role reads like it was scoped for your new positioning. The combination it asks for — senior UX depth + Web3 + AI design-to-code + frontend (HTML/CSS/JS) — is rare, and you have all three. Most applicants will miss the AI/frontend requirement; that’s your wedge, and they made it explicit, not a bonus.
Caveat: it’s full-time, not the part-time/contract you’ve been filtering for. You said this is the one you want, so treat it as the exception — just go in knowing it’s a full-time commitment.
Requirement → your evidence
- Own end-to-end UX (research → IA → flows → prototyping → specs): your lead/owner range across Zevo, Wire, Samsung eShop, Sancta Domenica.
- Complex, data-rich B2B / professional-grade tooling (dashboards, data tools): Wire (enterprise secure comms, trusted by G7 governments), Agent4 (onchain analytics + execution dashboard), host-dashboard / quest-admin work, Samsung eShop. ← lead with these, not the consumer/NFT-flashy ones.
- AI tools (design-to-code) + basic frontend (HTML/CSS/JS): your core current edge — you design AND ship the front-end with AI. Headline this.
- Design systems in Figma; systems thinking, scale, edge cases: full-scope design systems work.
- Web3 / blockchain / token management / onchain data / DeFi (bonus): Hive3, Liberoverse, NFTSweeps, DePunks (ERC-721/1155, onchain data UI), Agent4 (agentic onchain). Deep, native fluency.
- Finance × tech (bonus): fintech background + DeFi/onchain interfaces.
- 5+ years, web/desktop craft: 10+ years, yes.
The one gap to close (same as before)
They want UX depth shown — research, IA, flows, wireframes — not just final screens. Your site is signal-first. For THIS application, lead with 2–3 case studies that show process on data-dense / professional products: Wire, Agent4 (dashboard), and one redesign (Samsung). De-emphasize the playful NFT work here — keep it as “Web3 fluency,” not the lead.
Don’t overclaim
Your web3 depth is Ethereum-centric; the role is Solana. Frame as “deep Web3 / onchain product fluency, fast to ramp on Solana” — don’t pretend Solana-specific experience.
Ready-to-send cover note
Hi Solana Foundation team,
I’m applying for the Senior Product Designer role because the mix you’re asking for is exactly where I sit: senior UX depth, real Web3 fluency, and a design practice that already runs design-to-code with AI and basic frontend (HTML/CSS/JS). That last part is usually a “nice to have” — I treat it as core, and I ship working front-end alongside engineering rather than handing off static files.
Where I line up with the work:
- Complex, professional-grade web products. I led senior UX on Wire, the enterprise secure-comms platform trusted by five G7 governments — dense, high-stakes, systems-heavy. I’ve also designed onchain analytics and execution interfaces (Agent4) and multi-storefront commerce platforms (Samsung eShop, Sancta Domenica).
- Onchain and data-rich UX. I’ve designed token, NFT, and DeFi-adjacent products end to end — information architecture and flows for data that has to stay legible to a sophisticated audience. My Web3 work is Ethereum-centric today; I ramp fast and would be glad to go deep on Solana.
- Systems and craft. Full-scope: research and IA through to design systems, visual polish, and the front-end build.

Strategy note: this is a priority/tracked role. The daily scout should keep surfacing Foundation / crypto-foundation design roles like this even though they’re full-time.
