About The Position

OKX is seeking a Senior Visual Designer for its Visual System Team, which shapes the look and feel of the company’s products across mobile and web. This hybrid onsite role is for candidates in the Bay Area, California. The designer will work at the intersection of brand expression and product design, helping make OKX products distinctive, coherent, and trusted. The role involves contributing early to feature concepts rather than only applying visual design to finalized wireframes. The designer will create product visuals across trading, wallet, payments, and social experiences, and contribute to scalable visual frameworks alongside the Design System and Content System teams. These frameworks include illustration guidelines, motion principles, iconography standards, brand-in-product patterns, shared visual styles, color systems, layout patterns, UI components, and design tokens. The role also involves translating brand direction into product experiences, creating product campaigns and feature moments, incorporating AI tools into daily design work, collaborating cross-functionally, and presenting creative concepts and design rationale.

Requirements

4–6 years of experience in visual design, UI design, digital-focused brand work, or a related discipline.
A portfolio demonstrating strong craft, modern taste, and attention to detail.
Experience taking product experiences from wireframes to polished, production-ready UI.
Strong UI and digital design fundamentals across product, responsive web, and mobile; mobile-first experience is essential.
Exceptional visual craft across typography, color, composition, layout, interaction, and detail.
Experience creating or contributing to scalable design systems, including understanding tokens, components, patterns, and coherent product visual language.
Ability to translate brand direction into product experiences that meet user and business needs while allowing distinctive product expression.
Active use of generative tools for ideation, exploration, prototyping, and production, with creative judgment to refine outputs rather than rely on unedited generated assets.
Clear, collaborative communication skills and ability to explain design rationale and work effectively with product designers, engineers, product managers, and Brand Design.
Proficiency in Figma and prototyping tools, including ability to communicate interaction and motion intent through high-fidelity prototypes.

Nice To Haves

Experience creating light animation.
Experience with 3D software or a genuine willingness to learn.
Experience designing for fintech, crypto, or trading platforms, with understanding of trust, precision, and data density in their visual language.
Strong visual, illustration, and interaction ideation skills, including ability to create original visual assets.
Ability to develop clear, high-quality visual solutions quickly and decisively, with a strong eye for layout, composition, and hierarchy.
Comfort working in a fast-paced environment while balancing speed with high craft standards and attention to detail.
Experience working with globally distributed teams across offices and time zones.
Familiarity with front-end implementation, including understanding CSS, design tokens, and component architecture well enough to collaborate with engineers.

Responsibilities

Create high-quality visual and UI designs for OKX products across trading, wallet, payments, and social features.
Own visual execution of key product surfaces from concept through pixel-perfect delivery, balancing visual quality with clarity, trust, and usability.
Contribute to OKX’s visual systems, including illustration styles, motion tokens, color systems, iconography, layout patterns, UI components, and design tokens.
Create reusable, scalable visual assets and patterns that strengthen the existing system rather than introducing one-off exceptions.
Translate brand direction into in-product visual experiences in collaboration with Brand Design, aligning identity with product goals, user needs, and performance metrics.
Create distinctive in-product campaigns, launches, and feature moments that fit the product experience and broader brand.
Integrate generative AI tools into daily design work for ideation, exploration, variation, prototyping, and asset production; experiment with workflows and share effective practices with the team.
Partner with product designers, engineers, and product managers to ground visual decisions in user needs and technical feasibility.
Participate in design reviews, exchange constructive critique, and communicate design rationale clearly.
Propose and present creative concepts to team leads and stakeholders, explaining why the design is appropriate for users and the brand.
