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 Role

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.

What You’ll Do

• 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

Who You Are

• 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

Nice to Have

• 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

How You Work

• 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

Why Work with Us

• 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.

Salary and Benefits

Benefits for full-time employees may include medical, dental, and vision insurance (100% coverage for employees); generous paid time off; paid parental leave; and 10 company-observed holidays.
