About the role
Lattice is looking to hire our first design lead. After working with consultants and part-time designers, we have decided to bring in a full time lead to drive a consistent design strategy across all our projects.
Autonomous worlds?
Some games and online spaces take on a life of their own. We believe these digital worlds — especially ones that exist onchain — can be just as meaningful, consequential, and resonant as the real world. We call these digital spaces Autonomous Worlds. At Lattice, we develop technology and infrastructure to power their evolution into sustainable ecosystems that can eventually outlast their creators. Ethereum is our stack of choice but it still requires a lot of work to make it usable and scalable for world builders. This is where we come in.
Impact
As we work to make autonomous world a reality, we believe that presenting a coherent brand identity as well as crafting an efficient message to share our work is key to growing the ecosystem. As our design lead, you will play a crucial role in shaping our products across visuals, user experience and messaging. You will define how users interact with autonomous worlds from the onboarding to gradually revealing the nuts and bolts of our infrastructure to more technical hackers via explorers and developer tools.
The job
- Design and run research that advances our mission of enabling autonomous worlds.
- Craft and maintain a coherent visual identity for all Lattice products and initiatives.
- Create digital interfaces for platforms and tools used by developers and end-users.
- Creatively illustrate and communicate our autonomous worlds vision, thesis, and ideas.
- Creatively articulate the insights and stories behind our roadmap, engineering and hacker community.
Compensation
- Competitive salary ($120k-$144k).
- We have chosen to forgo VC funding and are well-funded via grants, which allows us to offer significantly above average equity compensation (0.5%+, depending on experience).
- Premium private medical insurance in the UK, US, and other countries where available.
- Flexible PTO with a high level of freedom and autonomy for your work. You receive a bonus if you take at least 25 days of PTO a year.
- Paid travel - team on-sites in different parts of the world, several times a year.
About Lattice
Lattice is building full stack, from games and worlds to infrastructure and tools to make autonomous worlds a reality. Our goal is to transition Ethereum from a financial computer to its original ambition as the World Computer.
Our most major software contribution so far is MUD. MUD is an onchain operating system for Ethereum. It is built as a micro-kernel, with its core module being an embedded relational database that replaces the traditional storage model of Ethereum. All of MUD is onchain and runs on the EVM.
On the hardware side, we built Redstone, a home for autonomous worlds. It's a Plasma-inspired L2 that is designed from the ground up to make onchain worlds accessible, scalable, and cheap.
We have also built Sky Strife, an experimental, fully onchain real-time strategy game that is live on Redstone.
We are a very small team of highly efficient engineers and operators, have a low bureaucratic overhead, and are focused on shipping products to production. We maintain short cycles that makes products we create reach a strong grass root community of developers almost immediately.
Our Team
Lattice is currently 13 people living across North America and Europe, with 5 based in our London office.
