Founding Product Designer

They are built for consensus and execution, not searchability, standardization, or financial interpretation. Blockchains are computers, not databases. Every protocol defines its own schema. The same economic action can be encoded in dozens of different ways. The result:

• Fragmented standards

Finance cannot operate on that, it needs an effective system of record.

Allium ingests, verifies, and standardizes data across 140+ blockchains and 30+ petabytes of history. We close four structural gaps that prevent blockchains from becoming systems of record:

Allium powers three core personas with the same canonical data foundation:

1. Finance, Accounting, and Risk TeamsThey need reliable, audit grade answers. They rely on Allium for financial reporting, reconciliation, compliance, risk monitoring, and defensible metrics that can stand up to auditors and regulators.

2. Engineers and Product Teams They need low latency, production ready infrastructure. They use Allium to power wallets, trading systems, payment rails, staking infrastructure, and real time applications that cannot break.

3. Strategy, Research, and Executive Teams They need clarity and insight. They use Allium to understand ecosystem economics, market structure, user behavior, competitive dynamics, and where capital is flowing onchain.

and of course.. agents 🦞. Our customers and users include Visa, Stripe, G-SIB Banks, Big 4 Accounting firms, BCG, Coinbase, Phantom, Uniswap and cited by the Federal Reserve.

Allium builds data-dense, information-heavy products for some of the most advanced teams in crypto and finance. We ingest millions of on-chain events, normalize thousands of schemas, and surface insights that help everyone from protocol teams to hedge funds understand what's actually happening on-chain.

We're hiring our first designer — a Founding Product Designer who loves making sense of complexity and wants real ownership. You'll define the design language, systems, and standards for Allium's product surface area, while shaping how customers explore, visualize, and act on blockchain data.

This role is for a designer who gets energy from working with messy datasets, building intuitive interfaces for sophisticated users, and crafting visual systems that scale across charts, dashboards, workflows, and power-user tools. You'll have a seat at the table on product direction and the opportunity to build the design function from the ground up.

• End-to-end product design ownership — Build experiences from high-level information architecture down to micro-interactions, UI states, and visual polish across complex data workflows.

• Craft high-fidelity data visualizations — Turn intricate on-chain behavior, market dynamics, and messy datasets into intuitive charts, dashboards, and exploratory surfaces.

• Design with deep technical context — Work closely with product, engineering, and data teams to understand schemas, query outputs, and system constraints, then translate them into usable, elegant interfaces.

• Build Allium's first design system — Define components, patterns, chart styles, color systems, and layout structures from scratch, ensuring consistency across a rapidly expanding product suite.

• Prototype new interaction models — Explore novel ways to help users navigate chain abstractions, wallet flows, cross-protocol analytics, and large-scale entity relationships.

• Establish design culture from day zero — As the founding designer, shape rituals like crits, reviews, collaboration workflows, and documentation standards for future design hires.

• Drive usability and iteration cycles — Run rapid feedback loops with power users to ensure clarity and intuitiveness across dense, analytical interfaces.

• Partner cross-functionally — Collaborate with growth, marketing, and customer teams to understand user workflows and translate insights into product improvements.

• Elevate visual expression — Push Allium's product aesthetic toward precision, trustworthiness, and technical excellence.

• Crypto analytics experience — Explorers, dashboards, trading tools, attribution systems.

• Visualization or HCI background — Especially experience with complex visual or analytical interfaces.

• Technical fluency — Comfort with SQL, data tools, or charting libraries.

• Founding designer experience — Thrived as a first design hire or built design processes from scratch.

• Systems-thinking mindset — A fascination with abstractions and the craft of turning complexity into understanding.

• Obsessiveness - The best people at Allium cannot put a problem down once they pick it up. We care more about the work than is strictly rational. Institutions trust us because our data is right. Right means caring about the small things. The decoded contract that ships with one wrong field. The l

• Deep experience with data-rich products — 5+ years designing dashboards, analytical tools, financial interfaces, or complex technical workflows.
• A portfolio that shows mastery of complexity — Clear examples of turning dense, noisy, or abstract information into legible and intuitive UIs.
• Domain familiarity — Experience in crypto, fintech, trading, analytics, or financial data products — or the ability to learn these domains incredibly fast.
• Power-user UX sensibilities — Comfort designing advanced filters, fast workflows, keyboard interactions, and dense-but-readable layouts.
• Strong UX clarity instincts — Ability to simplify without losing precision and organize information for highly analytical users.
• Cross-functional fluency — Ease working alongside engineers and data teams; comfort with schemas, edge cases, and product-level constraints.
• Design systems expertise — Experience creating reusable component libraries that scale across multiple surfaces and use cases.
• Clear communication & low-ego collaboration — Ability to articulate design decisions and work closely with product, engineering, and GTM partners.
• Curiosity for crypto & data systems — Interest in how on-chain systems behave, or a drive to understand the space deeply.
