Design Engineer

The Monad Foundation is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized tech. We believe that the Monad blockchain--the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--will help decentralized apps eat the world. The Design Engineer sits within the Design Team and owns the behavioral layer: which includes interaction logic, motion systems, micro-interactions, and the high-fidelity UI and prototypes that define how features feel before engineering builds them.

Requirements

• 5+ years in a hybrid design/engineering role (Design Engineer, Interaction Engineer, Prototyper)
• Strong GSAP or Framer Motion skills—beyond simple examples
• Experience building prototypes in React/Next.js to validate flow and timing
• Deep understanding of timing, easing, motion hierarchy, and when each is appropriate
• Strong visual craft: spacing rhythm, type alignment, optical adjustments, depth cues
• Knowledge of animation performance: transform/opacity, avoiding layout thrash, interruptibility
• Comfortable shaping ambiguous UX spaces and exploring alternatives quickly
• Communicates behavior clearly through prototypes, diagrams, and rationale
• High bar for detail and interaction quality

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance (100% coverage for employees)
• Generous paid time off
• Paid parental leave
• 10 company-observed holidays
