## Job description

Molecule and BIO.xyz are building the foundation of Decentralized Science (DeSci) — where biotech meets web3 to make scientific research community-owned, transparent, and faster to market. Molecule provides the infrastructure to turn intellectual property (IP) into programmable, on-chain assets through our IP-NFT framework and evolving protocol stack. This enables researchers, patients, and communities to fund and govern biotech projects in new, open ways. [BIO.xyz](http://Bio.xyz) is the coordination and economic layer of DeSci, powering BioDAOs through funding, governance, and ecosystem alignment. Together, we are creating a new model for scientific discovery — one where breakthroughs are owned and advanced by the communities that believe in them.

We’re looking for a senior Product Designer to shape the user experience and visual language of Molecule’s web and mobile products. You’ll turn product goals and complex requirements into clear, intuitive interfaces, and you’ll own the design system that keeps everything we ship consistent. You’ll sit within the Product team and work closely with Engineering and Marketing. You’ll take work from first concept through to pixel-perfect execution and implementation. We move fast, so we value iteration over perfection, quick prototypes over long specs, and designers who are comfortable using AI tools to explore ideas and test them early. This is a role for someone who is as comfortable in a component library as in a whiteboard session. It suits someone who wants to define what great product design looks like in a space where the rules are still being written.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Design and refine the user experience and interfaces for Molecule’s core applications across web and mobile, working within the Product team from concept to launch
- Own and expand Molecule’s Design System by building and maintaining a scalable, accessible component library that keeps every product consistent
- Deliver polished, pixel-perfect UI components that improve usability and clarity and stay aligned with our brand
- Write clear component documentation, UI specs, and usage guidelines so handoff from design to development runs smoothly
- Partner with Frontend Engineers through implementation to make sure what ships matches what was designed
- Apply WCAG standards and UX best practices to make our products inclusive and easy to use
- Build interactive prototypes, often with AI-powered tools, to explore ideas and test them with users quickly
- Iterate on designs based on user feedback, data, and evolving product needs
- Lead and facilitate design work, including setting up frameworks, running brainstorms, and presenting and defending design decisions to stakeholders
- Contribute to Molecule’s broader visual identity across product and communications, working with external design partners on brand assets where needed

## WHO YOU ARE

- You have 7+ years of professional product or UI design experience, ideally on complex products
- You have built and scaled design systems and hybrid component libraries across teams, and your portfolio shows it, including component libraries and detailed UI documentation
- You’re a Figma expert with hands-on experience managing a design system in it
- You understand HTML, CSS, and front-end frameworks well enough to design for feasibility and speak engineering’s language
- You have a strong grasp of interaction design for both mobile and desktop
- You actively use AI tools and AI-enhanced workflows in your design process
- You’re ego-free and collaborative. You seek out feedback and critique and keep pushing your craft forward
- You’re self-sufficient. You own the design process end to end, manage feedback, and drive execution without micromanagement
- You communicate clearly and can explain the reasoning behind your work to designers, engineers, and leadership alike

## NICE TO HAVE

- You’ve shipped AI or agent-based product experiences
- You build and test working prototypes yourself, picking the right tool for the question at hand
- Experience with design tokens and front-end design implementation
- Knowledge of user testing methodologies and iterative research practices
- Experience working with external design or branding agencies
- Background in web3, biotech, or decentralised science

## WHY MOLECULE

- The chance to define the product experience of a category, building the interfaces through which researchers, patients, and communities fund and govern science
- Real ownership in a young, fast-growing team where your voice shapes both the product and the company
- A team that values substance over titles, speed over process, and people who’ve built their way up
- Competitive compensation

We are an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to equality and weaving a community that values diverse perspectives and experiences and are actively seeking a diverse pool of applicants. All employment decisions are made without regard to race, colour, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, genetic information, religion, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, marital status, family status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

## About molecule.xyz

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Molecule builds onchain infrastructure for tokenizing, funding, and accelerating scientific research, enabling autonomous AI-driven science and liquid intellectual property markets.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Web3 / DeSci startup)
- **Headquarters**: Not publicly available (remote-first, team distributed globally)
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Paul Kohlhaas (Founder and Chairman), Aaron Weaver (Chief Commercial Officer, Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Decentralized Science (DeSci), Biotechnology, Web3 Infrastructure
- **Target customers**: Researchers, biotech labs, scientific institutions, Web3 investors, AI agent developers, and pharmaceutical companies
- **Mission**: "Propel science from lab to life, fueled by a community committed to human progress" — democratizing drug development and scientific research funding through onchain infrastructure.

## Products & Services
- **Onchain Lab**: A modular smart contract wallet (ERC-7579) that acts as a sovereign, programmable container for research projects. It holds assets, executes transactions, stores data references, and interacts with protocols under a persistent onchain identity. Supports IP tokenization, fractionalized ownership, and AI agent execution.
- **IP-NFTs & IP Tokens**: Tokenization of intellectual property as NFTs, with fractionalized ownership via tokens, enabling liquid markets for scientific IP, crowdsales, and automated royalty/licensing via smart contracts.
- **Data Infrastructure & DeSci API**: Decentralized data storage (IPFS, Arweave) with provenance tracking, encryption, and granular access control (token-gated, credential-gated, payment-gated). The DeSci API provides programmatic read/write access to Lab data rooms.
- **BioAgents (AI Agent Layer)**: An open-source AI scientist framework (by bio.xyz) integrated as an executor module on Labs. Agents autonomously analyze data, generate hypotheses, and publish findings with full onchain provenance, operating in Fully Autonomous or Human-Directed modes.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Total Funding**: Not publicly disclosed (backed by prominent Web3 and DeSci investors)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: bio.xyz (ecosystem partner), community of scientists, researchers, and Web3 investors; part of the broader DeSci movement alongside projects like VitaDAO
- **Growth Signals**: Molecule has been operating for over 5 years, evolving from a coordination layer to a full programmable science economy. The launch of "Labs" architecture (Feb 2026) represents a major technical evolution, integrating AI agents (BioAgents) and modular smart contract standards (ERC-4337, ERC-6551, ERC-7579). The platform has successfully tokenized multiple real-world biopharma IP assets, creating a growing ecosystem of onchain science.

## Competitive Advantages
- **First-mover in DeSci infrastructure**: Molecule is one of the earliest and most established platforms for tokenizing biopharma IP onchain, with a track record of real-world scientific assets.
- **Integrated AI agent layer**: The BioAgents integration creates a closed loop where AI agents autonomously operate within Labs, generating hypotheses and analyzing data with full onchain provenance — a unique moat in scientific research infrastructure.
- **Modular, standards-based architecture**: Built on ERC-4337, ERC-6551, and ERC-7579, Labs are sovereign, transferable, and extensible — allowing new capabilities (licensing, governance, oracles) to be installed over time.
- **Liquid IP markets**: IP-NFTs and IP Tokens make traditionally illiquid scientific intellectual property tradable, fractionalizable, and investable — creating a new asset class.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Labs ecosystem**: Transitioning from a coordination layer to a full programmable science economy where researchers can go from idea to market entirely onchain.
- **AI agent integration**: Deepening the integration of autonomous AI agents (BioAgents) to enable continuous, self-driving scientific research within Labs.
- **Building developer and researcher adoption**: Growing the ecosystem of modules, integrations, and users around the Onchain Lab standard.
- **Tokenizing real-world biopharma IP**: Continuing to bring high-value scientific assets onchain, creating liquid markets for intellectual property.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven**: Directly contribute to accelerating cures and democratizing science funding — work that has tangible impact on human health and progress.
- **Remote-first, global team**: Distributed team with multiple in-person off-sites per year; strong emphasis on autonomy and ownership.
- **Competitive compensation**: Salary + token + equity packages benchmarked against leading biotech and Web3 companies.
- **Generous benefits**: PTO, learning & development budget, paid travel to conferences and scientific events, team off-sites.
- **High-agency culture**: Values include purpose, innovation, autonomy, care, and high standards. The team moves fast, communicates clearly, and values scientific curiosity and operational rigor.
- **Hiring process**: Application → screening → practical hiring challenge (domain-specific) → interviews with teammates and leadership → decision within days. Designed to mimic real work, not trivia.
