Senior Designer - Otherlife

Otherlife is for builders with something to prove.
This isn't a "work on cool crypto stuff" company. It's a high-standards, high-velocity, high-accountability company building the operating system for value movement. If the internet moves information, we move value: crypto, stablecoins, tokenized assets, and whatever comes next. Four offerings make that real: fund, tokenize, trade, and spend.
Otherlife is MoonPay's creative studio. We design how brands meet the next era of the internet, working with companies like Mastercard, Arsenal FC, Coinbase, OpenSea, and Shopify on the brand identities, digital experiences, and on-chain products that introduce real people to emerging tech. Our work sits at the intersection of culture, design, and technology, and the bar is clarity, craft, and work that holds up long after the launch.
AI is the default operating mode here. It's woven into every role, and we expect you to use it daily. It handles the manual work so you can deliver on what actually matters.
You'll thrive here if outcomes excite you more than process, if impact motivates you more than titles, and if you want hard problems, real ownership, and teammates who love winning, building, and doing it together.
The bar is high. The pace is real. We're making emerging tech feel intuitive, accessible, and worth using, for humans and agents. MoonPay made Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers 2026 (Top 25 in Finance), ranked #2 in Crypto Services on Fortune's inaugural Crypto 100, and made The Sunday Times Best Places to Work two years running.
