Senior Design Engineer - MetaMask
About this role
We’re looking for a Senior Design Engineer to join the Consensys Design team, supporting MetaMask - the most used wallet in crypto. This is a rare opportunity to bring beautiful, intuitive experiences to millions of users engaging with decentralized applications and Web3 technologies every day.
As a Senior Design Engineer, you'll turn MetaMask interactions into experiences people genuinely enjoy using - across our app and browser extension. You'll work closely with designers, engineers, and product managers to take ideas from prototype to production, sweating the animations, haptics, and micro-interactions that make an experience feel considered rather than just functional. You'll build in React and React Native with an eye for pixel-perfect execution, contribute to our design system, and use agentic workflows to move faster without cutting corners. If you love making complex things feel simple, care about craft down to the smallest detail, and want that craft in the hands of 30M+ users, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
In one sentence: Make MetaMask interactions feel simple, fast, and delightful - across mobile and extension
Build pixel-perfect interfaces in React and React Native, with obsessive attention to detail.
Design and implement the animations and micro-interactions (Rive, Lottie, or similar) that make every tap feel considered.
Prototype fast and test with real users
Translate Figma designs into accessible, production-ready components - fast, and with minimal handoff friction.
Build agentic workflows and tooling that speed up design-to-code and day-to-day engineering work.
Grow the MetaMask design system: reusable, accessible components built to scale across platforms.
Push for craft everywhere - the small animation nobody asked for that makes an interaction click.
Key Experience
Portfolio demonstrating delightful, polished interfaces and interactions - not just static screens, but the motion and detail that make them feel alive.
Proven track record shipping high-traffic, consumer-facing products in React and React Native.
Deep fluency in modern JS/TypeScript and cross-platform frontend architecture: state management, performance, accessibility.
A real eye for interaction design and motion - you know when animations and haptics earn their place and when they're just noise.
Strong Figma literacy - you read a design file like code.
Good judgment about when to polish and when to ship.
Comfortable working independently on a distributed, global team.
Ideally, hands-on experience with crypto wallets, blockchain, or related Web3 products.
