UX Design Intern

About Harpie

At Harpie, we protect crypto holders from theft, scams, and hacks. We bring an essential peace-of-mind to our users that they won’t find anywhere else in the crypto industry. We want our users to feel instant relief when they view our brand and experience our products.

We’re a small and ethically-driven team that takes pride in empowering our users and working on projects that matter. Every day is a new challenge at Harpie, as our work operates on the cutting edge of blockchain technology. By joining the Harpie team, you’ll be joining a mission-focused group that obsesses about protecting our customers, enjoys new challenges, appreciates teamwork, and loves learning on the job.

Harpie is ending crypto theft. We protect users by making sure that we stop scams and theft before they hit the blockchain. We are funded by world-class investors, including Dragonfly, Coinbase Ventures, OpenSea, Orange DAO, and founding team members of Messari and Quantstamp.

We are remote-first!

About the role

As a UX Design Intern, your role will be essential in shaping the user experience of our products. You'll collaborate with our product and development teams to create intuitive, user-friendly designs on Figma.

We realize that not every design will land, and that they require work and customer feedback before they’re successful. We value people with a scientific personality—someone that isn’t afraid to try new things, but can also look for and respond to customer feedback & insights.

This is a part-time/contractor position and will be compensated hourly.

Responsibilities

• Contributing in the creation of user flows, wireframes, and prototypes.
• Contributing to user research efforts, and interpreting feedback into design solutions.
• Collaborating with the team to understand design specifications and constraints.
• Documenting design work, tracking design debt, and building out a design library.
• Become a vital member of the design team with guidance from a mentor and colleagues from cross-functional teams.
• Taking initiative to communicate with other members of the team.

Required

• Attending/recently attended post-secondary education, or a UX course, with a graduation date between 2023-2026
• A portfolio of product design samples, either from personal projects or past internships
• Experience with Figma
• Passion for all aspects of the design process, including product strategy, UI/UX, visual design, and interaction design
• A scientific personality; you’re not afraid of trying new strategies, but you’re also not afraid of moving to different strategies when you track that things aren’t working out
