About Project Eleven
Project Eleven is an applied lab of builders and technologists working at the intersection of quantum computing and cryptography. We build impactful solutions that push the digital-asset ecosystem to a more secure future. Our focus is post-quantum migration: upgrading wallets, identity, and settlement rails to quantum-safe primitives without breaking UX, composability, and developer workflows.
Our mission is to future-proof digital assets and preserve self-sovereignty in a post-quantum world. We do that by building the canonical tooling and products teams can adopt: crypto-agile infrastructure, reference implementations, and integrations that fit real constraints like latency, cost, compatibility, key rotation, and recovery.
We work with leading ecosystems to make this migration real through products we build, audits, testnets, and cutting edge research. The vision we have is clear: a proven upgrade path, production-ready tooling and users retaining control of their assets and identity, before a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer exists.
The Role
We are looking for a strategic and experienced Design Lead to help define and execute the product design and brand vision at Project Eleven. You will be a key partner in shaping the UX/UI of our products and ensuring that what we build is intuitive and aligned with real user needs.
Along with working directly on our products, you will have the opportunity to shape and guide the Project Eleven brand. You will work directly with the executive team to define our brand, visual language, and style that will unify our products and external comms.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys operating in ambiguity, moving quickly, and evolving their thinking as new information emerges.
What You'll Be Responsible For:
Act as a thought partner on product design by contributing to product strategy and user experience direction
Apply best-in-class UI/UX design principles to create high-quality Figma designs, prototypes, and user flows that engineering can implement with clarity
Work closely with the product lead and engineering to ensure design intent is preserved from concept through production
Partner with the exec team to help conceive and evolve a cohesive brand and visual identity across product, web, documentation, and external communications
Conduct user research, usability testing, and feedback synthesis to iterate designs based on qualitative and quantitative insights
Contribute to product planning and roadmap discussions from a design perspective
Operate comfortably in a high-ambiguity environment, moving fast with imperfect information, and pivoting direction as new insights emerge
What You Bring
5+ years of experience in product design, UX/UI, or related roles
A deep understanding of user-centered design principles, interaction design patterns, and accessibility
Opinionated taste paired with a practical mindset for shipping high-quality work under time constraints
Expert proficiency with Figma, including prototyping and responsive design
Strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex concepts in simple designs
Low ego, high ownership mindset comfortable with early-stage startup environments
What We'd Love to See
Experience designing for a crypto native audience
Experience leading the brand creation/re-definition process in an organization
Experience collaborating closely with product and engineering leadership in early-stage or zero-to-one environments
A love for marrying deeply technical concepts with delightful user experiences
