The NBA is one of the world's most iconic brands, with over a billion fans and a special place in global culture, and with our help, they're coming to a blockchain near you. We're looking for a Product Designer specializing in Design Systems to own the creation of a robust product design architecture that can scale across a variety of applications. This Design System will be a pillar to ensure we build a consistent, branded and scalable interface for our NBA fans.
We need somebody who can capture the passion of fans on six continents, obsessed with the gauntlet of 30 teams playing over 80 games a season, each in pursuit of greatness. We need to take that magic and fuse it into a design system that honours the legacy of the NBA and brings it into a decentralized blockchain-powered world.
The primary focus of this contract is to drive cohesive design for the NBA Top Shot’s responsive web experience, collector experience & game. You’ll translate UI benchmarks into design patterns, UI components and produce a robust well-documented Design System.
