Product Designer, Nifty Gateway

Empower the Individual Through Crypto

Gemini is a crypto exchange and custodian that allows customers to buy, sell, store, and earn more than 30 cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ether, litecoin, and Zcash. Gemini is a New York trust company that is subject to the capital reserve requirements, cybersecurity requirements, and banking compliance standards set forth by the New York State Department of Financial Services and the New York Banking Law. Gemini was founded in 2014 by twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss to empower the individual through crypto.

Crypto is about giving you greater choice, independence, and opportunity. We are here to help you on your journey. We build crypto products that are simple, elegant, and secure. Whether you are an individual or an institution, we want to help you buy, sell, and store your bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Crypto is not just a technology, it's a movement.

At Gemini, our mission is to empower the individual and that includes giving our employees flexibility of choice — our Office Optional Policy allows employees to choose to work from one of our physical locations or from home.

The Department: Nifty Gateway - Technology

Nifty Gateway is the premier marketplace for non-fungible tokens, or “Nifties” (NFTs) - digital art and collectibles, recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. We release exclusive content from well known artists and brands each week. Major artists we have worked with in the past include Kenny Scharf, Lyle Owerko, Steven Baltay, and Oliver Latta. Our collections usually sell out in minutes & immediately trade up in value on our proprietary peer-to-peer marketplace.

Nifty Gateway is a “startup within a startup” – we’re Gemini employees, and we use some of Gemini’s crypto infrastructure, and work closely cross-functionally together. We also have our own tech stack and unique team culture.

The Role: Product Designer

As a Nifty Gateway Product designer, you will be responsible for ensuring that the Nifty Gateway website and mobile app are a top tier experience for our collectors and artists. You will rethink UX flows, put together new designs for our website and mobile app, and design new features, working closely with the product and engineering teams. Sometimes you will work with the artists on our platform or with our Content Producers for unique experiences like nifty giveaways or site takeovers.

This job will require you to work across UX and UI, across web and mobile, and with a few different engineering teams on large and small projects. If you’re a specialist in some particular area of design, we’d love to hear about that, but since we’re still a small team you’ll need to be willing and able to get your hands dirty across the whole product design landscape.

Produce beautiful designs in line with our existing UI kit
Audit UX flows, ensuring that Nifty Gateway is extremely easy to use
Work with other team members to build new product features and overhaul existing ones

Qualifications:

3+ years experience as an UI or UX designer
Track record of operating independently, demonstrating creativity, being detail oriented, and delivering results in an organized manner
Proficient in Figma and other standard design software
Experience designing for the web and mobile, and familiar with web and mobile design standards and systems
Excellent communication and writing skills
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced work environment

Preferred Qualifications:

An interest in and general understanding of art, fashion, sports, e-sports and/or collectibles industries
Familiarity and interest with nifties and digital collectibles as we are an NFT company
Knowledge of NFTs and Ethereum hugely helpful
