We make digital collectibles useful, social & accessible for creators & their fans. Live at showtime.xyz.

In 2023, the most popular blockchain – Ethereum – is undergoing key changes that will enable it to immediately scale to hundreds of millions of people. We believe Showtime is the best company to accelerate this upcoming “onchain summer”: our long-term vision is to create a user-owned network for 1B+ people, making social media evolve from a wasted-time-maximizer to a public good that benefits all of its participants whilst introducing them to blockchain technology.

The quiet rise of web3 music: despite the crypto winter, Showtime has been growing from 2k to ~15k WAU in the past 4 months as a “web3 social app” targeting music artists. “Web3 music” is a quietly rising market that is not only order of magnitudes larger than digital art (i.e. the 2021 NFT art boom), but eventually could become an eye-opener for all content creators to go onchain, making the entire world about to care about this technology in the process. We also believe that novel primitives like digital collectibles, token-gated group chats, and social tokens are features that will reinvent social networks in that direction. I should know, as I - Alex Masmej, founder and CEO - pioneered those very trends with $ALEX, my eponymous social token.

Your Role

We’re looking for an exceptional Product Designer who is excited about pushing boundaries in web3 social, ships designs ahead of engineering, and iterates fast on Figma. You will be working closely with the CEO and our Product person.

Our design work so far

• We have a unified [web + iPhone + Android] stack, combining next.js and React Native in a responsive interface in order to iterate faster on all devices.
• We also built a live, cross-platform design system on Figma.
  • Storybook link.

What we’re looking for

• Extracting the non-obvious into insights: what people truly want but don’t know how to articulate yet. The design challenges you are facing are unheard of. It’s the first time in a decade that the design space as been as open as now. For our web3 features, we’re building cutting-edge technology that has no past data: for instance, the $ALEX cryptocurrency that I created was the world’s first ever social token, and Showtime first product was the very first NFT showcasing product.
• Senior experience: at least 4 years of experience designing consumer, social, mobile, creator economy-related products. Web3 experience is optional.
• Figma extraordinaire: you design mind-blowing UIs like an illustrator, or could direct someone to design delightful UX. As a social network, the bar for design is extremely high: ideally, we want a Zenly-level (RIP) designer.
• Collaborating with engineers: our team is primarily technical. If you join us, you will talk to engineers daily. Optionally, you have some frontend and/or Linear experience to better understand their needs.

Showtime’s goal is to be web3 breakout social app.
