Who we are

About Tableland

At Textile, we’re building Tableland—a network and SQL protocol for EVM chains like Ethereum. It is built for developers, NFT creators, and web3 visionaries.

What you’ll do

Example areas of work

The Product guild is composed of researchers, designers, and engineers who work together to help define, create, and deliver all protocol and user-facing aspects of Tableland. Product Designers define the core user-facing experience, and translates that thinking into a concrete experience that can be tested, shipped, and evolved.

• Tables—Design the core product and user experiences that help builders create and work with SQL tables
• Rigs—Design user experiences around Tableland Rigs (in collaboration with amazing artists)
• Websites—Design and evolve the core user experience around https://tableland.xyz and adjacent websites (such as https://docs.tableland.xyz & https://dev.tableland.xyz)

Responsibilities

• End to end ownership of all existing and new Tableland user interfaces—from design to user experience
• Work closely with the CTO
• Help coordinate implementation
• Build a deep understanding of all participants in our community: builders, developers, partners, investors, and more
• Collaborate across teams to research and define both long-term strategy and short-term tactics around design and user experience
• Design early product concepts and quickly test concepts within the team and the community
• Focus on experimentation and optimization of user journeys

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements—you are encouraged to apply even if you only have a subset of the preferred qualifications.

• Execution of core product design skills: visual design, prototyping, interaction design, implementation (e.g., familiarity with JS, TypeScript, etc.) and information architecture
• Systems thinking—can extrapolate and extend shared patterns and behaviors

Preferred qualifications

• 2+ years of relevant product design experience in web3
• Can reduce complex problems down to the right balance of flexibility, power, and ease of use
• Are skilled in explaining your work, process, and decisions to cross-functional stakeholders and crave feedback to help you produce your best work
