Product Designer

smlXL is a 'stealth' start-up building a Blockchain Infrastructure service with Consumer and Enterprise applications. We are well-funded by a16z crypto, Greylock and several incredible angels.

We aren't ready to talk broadly about what we are working on, but we might be a good place for you if:

you are highly technical; you care about your craft; you are constantly learning; you are fascinated by Information Systems, Semiotics, and Blockchain data; you get excited by turning black boxes transparent; and you love working on things that add a ton of value to consumers and prosumers alike; or you are into the EVM, decompilers, databases, and distributed systems.

About You

• You love working collaboratively with different disciplines and learning from others

• You are a thoughtful communicator and collaborator and work to gain consensus with your peers and stakeholders, but you’re not afraid to speak up
