    Description

    Circle (NYSE: CRCL) is one of the world's leading internet financial platform companies, building the foundation of a more open, global economy through digital assets, payment applications, and programmable blockchain infrastructure. Circle's platform includes the world's largest regulated stablecoin network anchored by USDC, Circle Payments Network for global money movement, and Arc, an enterprise‑grade blockchain designed to become the Economic OS for the internet. Enterprises, financial institutions, and developers use Circle to power trusted, internet‑scale financial innovation.

    What You'll Be Part Of


    Circle is committed to visibility and stability in everything we do. As we grow as an organization, we're expanding into some of the world's strongest jurisdictions. Speed and efficiency motivate our success, and our employees live by our values: High Integrity, Future Forward, Multistakeholder, Mindful, and Driven by Excellence. We've built a flexible work environment where new ideas are encouraged and everyone is a stakeholder.

    At Circle, we're moving from a phase of rapid expansion to one of sophisticated scale. As blockchain adoption grows, the systems that power our products — and the economic activity they enable — need to mature with intention, clarity, and trust.

    Lead Product Designer – Arc Pillar


    This role focuses on shaping how developers and businesses interact with blockchain‑native products and primitives — including networks, transactions, permissions, and programmable value. Rather than designing isolated features, you'll work across products and teams to define experiences that make blockchain infrastructure usable, reliable, and economically meaningful. You should be comfortable reasoning about how design choices influence trust, behavior, and participation in crypto ecosystems, while still holding a high bar for craft and usability.

    What You'll Work On

    • Blockchain‑native experiences: Design workflows and interfaces that expose the power of blockchains — such as transactions, permissions, programmability, and settlement — in ways that feel understandable and intentional.
    • Economic clarity: Help users reason about value flow, costs, and trade‑offs (e.g., fees, execution, finality) without overwhelming them.
    • Cross‑team alignment: Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to define priorities and make trade‑offs across blockchain protocols, platform surfaces, and downstream products.
    • Systems and patterns: Identify repeatable models and abstractions that can scale across blockchain use cases and products.
    • Design leadership: Set direction for complex problem spaces, mentor other designers, and raise the bar for blockchain product design across the organization.

    What You'll Bring to Circle

    • Chain fluency: 7+ years of product design experience, with meaningful exposure to crypto, blockchain, or financial infrastructure products. You understand how blockchains work at a conceptual level and why they matter.
    • Comfort with complexity: Strong ability to design across interconnected workflows that involve technical and economic trade‑offs.
    • High craft bar: Excellent interaction and visual design skills, applied in service of clarity, trust, and correctness.
    • Design leadership: Experience setting design direction, influencing cross‑functional partners, and mentoring designers.
    • Clear communication: Ability to explain complex ideas, articulate design decisions, and collaborate effectively in a distributed environment.

    Compensation


    Base Pay Range: $172,500 - $225,000
