Senior Visual Designer

About the Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Visual Designer to join the Visual System Team at OKX, one of the world's leading crypto platforms. You will work at the intersection of brand expression and product design, crafting the visual layer that makes OKX products feel distinctive and trusted across mobile and web.

Responsibilities

• Design product visual experiences. Create high-quality visual and UI design for OKX products — spanning trading, wallet, payments, and social features. Own the visual execution of key product surfaces, from concept through to pixel-perfect delivery. Balance beauty with clarity in a domain where trust and usability are non-negotiable.
• Contribute to visual systems. Work within and contribute to OKX's visual systems — shared illustration styles, motion tokens, color systems, iconography, and layout patterns. Your work should strengthen the system, not create one-off exceptions. Think in terms of reusable, scalable assets, not just deliverables.
• Use AI tools in your design workflow. Actively integrate AI into your daily practice — using generative tools for ideation, exploration, variation, and asset production. You're expected to experiment with AI-assisted workflows and bring what works back to the team. This is a core part of how we work, not an optional extra.
• Bridge brand and product. Translate brand direction into in-product visual experiences. Work with the Brand Design team to ensure that visual identity is consistent from marketing to core product — same palette, same sensibility, same quality bar.
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner with product designers, engineers, and product managers to ensure visual design decisions are grounded in user needs and technically feasible. Participate in design reviews, give and receive critique constructively, and communicate your rationale clearly.
• Pitch and present. Propose creative concepts to team leads and stakeholders. Articulate the reasoning behind visual choices — not just what you designed, but why it's the right solution for the user and the brand.

Requirements

• 4–6 years of experience in visual design or UI design, with a portfolio that demonstrates strong craft, attention to detail, and modern design sensibility across digital products. Mobile-first experience is essential.
• Fluency with AI design tools — you actively use tools like Midjourney, DALL·E, Figma AI features, or similar generative tools in your design workflow for ideation, exploration, and production. You don't just know about them; you use them to work faster and think wider.
• Strong visual craft — typography, color, composition, layout, and a keen eye for detail. You deliver pixel-perfect work and care about the micro-interactions and polish that separate good from great.
• Experience contributing to or working within design systems — you understand tokens, components, and how individual design decisions connect to a larger visual language.
• Proficiency in Figma and prototyping tools. Ability to produce high-fidelity prototypes that communicate motion and interaction intent.
• Solid understanding of human-centered design principles and how visual design serves usability, trust, and emotional connection — not just aesthetics.
• Clear communication skills — you can articulate design rationale, present to stakeholders, receive critique gracefully, and collaborate with non-designers. 

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing for fintech, crypto, or trading platforms — you understand the visual language of trust, precision, and data density.
• Illustration or motion skills — you can create original visual assets, not just compose them.
• Experience working with globally distributed teams across offices and time zones.
• Familiarity with how visual design integrates with front-end implementation — you understand CSS, design tokens, and component architecture well enough to collaborate effectively with engineers.
