About Gnosis Guild

Gnosis Guild is an applied research studio & venture builder developing interdependent software and radical primitives for the world computer. We enable new markets and resilient networks through distributed systems, programmable cryptography, and modular design, incubating category-defining products like Zodiac OS and Enclave. Our work treats protocols not just as technical systems, but as political and artistic mediums, grounded in mutualistic partnerships, open-source stewardship, and ongoing experimentation.

We’re hiring a design lead to help shape the next phase of Gnosis Guild’s work. You’ll lead design across multiple ventures and brands (e.g. Zodiac, Enclave, Gnosis Guild), define the visual and experiential language of our products, and grow a small but high-leverage design team. We’re early-stage and experimental by nature, so you’ll be working closely with engineers, researchers, and product leads from idea formation through to execution and iteration.

We’re looking for a generalist designer that is comfortable moving between brand and product work, and excited to help shape not just how our products look, but how they feel and function for users.
