Jobs Near Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are moving from the era of Generative AI (chatbots that talk) to Agentic AI (agents that act). NEAR AI is building the engine for Agentic Commerce - a future where sovereign AI agents have wallets, manage portfolios, negotiate across protocols, and act as independent economic operators.

To make this vision real, we are launching a full-stack decentralized AI ecosystem:

• IronClaw (ironclaw.com): The secure, open-source framework for building and deploying sovereign agents.
• NEAR AI Cloud (cloud.near.ai): Multi-modal, privacy-first infrastructure using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).
• NEAR Agent Market (market.near.ai): The marketplace where agents exchange work, skills, and goods.
• NEAR Confidential GPU Marketplace (gpu.near.ai): Decentralized, attestable compute.

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer to define how humans interact with the next generation of the web. You will work at the bleeding edge of AI, crypto intents, and commerce, translating deep technical infrastructure into intuitive, consumer-ready, and enterprise-grade experiences.

In this role, your primary focus will be designing the IronClaw platform and NEAR AI Cloud. You aren't just designing screens for humans to click; you are designing the interfaces where humans provision, monitor, and trust autonomous AI agents with their data and their money. You will also dedicate time to ecosystem initiatives, including our Agent Marketplace and Decentralized Confidential Machine Learning (DCML) networks.

You'll work closely with product managers, protocol engineers, and AI researchers to shape the UX of the unified commerce layer.

• IronClaw Platform: Design the end-to-end zero-to-one experience for developers, enterprises, and consumers to create, deploy, and manage secure AI agents.
• NEAR AI Cloud & GPU Marketplace: Design clean, powerful dashboards for developers to manage confidential inference, rent attestable GPUs, and monitor agent hosting.
• Agentic UI & Intents: Invent new UX paradigms for "Agentic Commerce." How does a user visualize what their agent is doing in the background (e.g., booking flights, trading DeFi, negotiating with solvers) without being overwhelmed by technical logs?

• Own and drive the design lifecycle from concept to production, including user research, wireframing, prototyping, and high-fidelity dev-ready designs.
• Create intuitive and scalable interfaces that align with NEAR's design principles, bridging the gap between Web3 sovereignty and Web2 ease-of-use.
• Iterate rapidly based on user feedback, telemetry data, and the shifting constraints of cutting-edge LLMs and TEE hardware.
• Communicate design ideas effectively across highly technical engineering, research, and product teams.
• Maintain and evolve the NEAR AI design system to ensure consistency across the Agent Market, Cloud, IronClaw, and ecosystem tools.

• 5-7+ years of product design experience, ideally in AI, developer tools (DevTools), Web3/blockchain, or cloud infrastructure products.
• Systems Thinker: Strong ability to design complex systems simply - translating deep technical ideas (like confidential computing or decentralized solvers) into clear, delightful user journeys.
• Prototyping Mastery: Proven experience creating interactive prototypes, flows, and visual design systems in Figma or directly via Claude Code, etc.
• Start-up DNA: Experience working in small, fast-moving, highly technical teams. Comfortable working on ambiguous, zero-to-one projects and iterating quickly.
• Communication: Excellent collaboration skills across disciplines and time zones. You know how to debate UX with a protocol engineer.

• Deep understanding of AI Agents (LLM reasoning loops, tool-use, memory) and how they differ from standard LLM chat interfaces.
• Familiarity with Web3 UX patterns (wallet connections, signing intents, gas abstraction).
• Familiarity with cryptography, Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), or confidential computing concepts.
• Ability to jump into frontend code (React/Tailwind) to fix or polish UI flows.

You'll be joining a team pushing the frontier of decentralized, confidential, and user-owned AI. You will work directly with the researchers and engineers building the actual engine of the AI economy. This is a rare opportunity to define the core UX principles for a brand new field - Agentic Commerce - where usability, financial trust, and absolute privacy intersect.
