About the company
Ellipsis Labs is a profitable, venture-backed New York startup building performant DeFi protocols on high-throughput decentralized infrastructure. Our long-term mission is to build a more efficient, transparent, and fair financial system.
Our flagship product, Phoenix Perpetuals, brings professional-grade perpetual futures to Solana. Phoenix has processed over $4 billion in trading volume and is growing 20% month over month, adding to the more than $300 billion our products have facilitated to date. Behind Phoenix is a lean, high-caliber team with experience at top trading firms, blockchain companies, and tech companies.
About the role
Ellipsis Labs is seeking a Senior Designer to define and elevate the visual language of our exchange and brand across high-density, real-time trading interfaces. You’ll partner with engineering and leadership to craft a cohesive, trustworthy look and feel - from component libraries to data visualization, motion, and launch assets. In this role, you will:
Responsibilities
•
Own the visual system for Phoenix and future products: typography, color, spacing, iconography, design tokens, and component theming
•
Turn complex trading mechanics and data into clear, scannable visual hierarchies and data visualizations that perform under real-time constraints
•
Build and maintain a Figma library/design system, ensuring consistency and speed of implementation; provide developer-ready specs and assets
•
Drive visual polish on critical surfaces (order entry, positions, charts, risk states), including loading/empty/error states and micro-interactions/motion
•
Partner closely with engineers to ensure visual fidelity in production and pragmatic choices under technical constraints
•
Own the company and product brand expression across product surfaces and key moments
•
Incorporate feedback, user signals, and metrics to iterate quickly without sacrificing craft
