Sr. Product Designer

Want to build the future of the cloud?

Overclock Labs is the creator of Akash Network - the world's first open-source and decentralized marketplace for cloud compute, enabling anyone to become a cloud provider by offering unused compute on an open marketplace. As more of the internet moves to the cloud, we are materializing the vision of the first decentralized cloud in an industry projected to reach $2.4 trillion in total market capitalization by 2030. Our team includes renowned open-source and blockchain developers, and seasoned experts from leading technology and platform companies. We are a remote-first, distributed, and growing team — offering unparalleled opportunities for career growth at the emerging intersection between crypto, AI, and permissionless compute.

The Role:

As a Sr. Product Designer at Overclock Labs, you will work closely with the product and engineering teams to design the user experience and interfaces that will be used by our customers and partners.
