About ENS Labs
Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralized, permissionless naming system built on the Ethereum blockchain that enables human-readable names (like "myname.eth") to be linked to standard Ethereum addresses and other distributed systems.
As one of the first protocols built on Ethereum, ENS has enabled over 3 million registered .eth names, and over another 20 million ENS names from teams such as Coinbase, Uniswap, and Linea, as well as integrations with hundreds of other apps, wallets, protocols, and browsers in the crypto ecosystem.
ENS Labs has been driving the core development of the ENS protocol since 2018. We created the ENS app, open-source libraries, and core smart contracts. We are on a mission to make crypto-powered experiences as easy and accessible as browsing the web. Join us as we build the next iteration of our protocol, ENSv2, and pioneer a more decentralized, flexible, and scalable ENS for the future.
What You’ll Do
Own end-to-end product design for ENS experiences
Lead design from early discovery and concepting through high-fidelity execution and launch.
Design flows, interfaces, and interactions that make complex Web3 concepts feel clear and approachable.
Partner deeply with Product and Engineering
Collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to define requirements, explore tradeoffs, and ship high-quality solutions.
Translate technical constraints and protocol mechanics into thoughtful UX decisions.
Design for multiple audiences
Craft intuitive experiences for end users managing names and identity.
Design powerful, information-dense interfaces for developers and power users working with ENS data and tools.

Stay current on industry trends and bring relevant ideas into the team — especially where Web2 UX patterns meet Web3 constraints.
Who You Are

Web3-native mindset: Familiar with blockchain concepts and excited about decentralized identity, open standards, and the future of the internet.
It’s a Bonus If You Have
Experience designing design systems or working within established component libraries.
Familiarity with Ethereum, ENS, wallets, NFTs, or decentralized identity.
