Mirror is looking to hire a Design Lead
At Mirror, our mission is to use web3 technology in order to reimagine the ways people publish, fund projects, and build communities online. We are a small, passionate team with a breadth of experience that has been building in web3 for years. Together, we aspire to build products that are beautiful and intuitive, without compromising on user sovereignty or decentralization.
The Company
Mirror is a web3-native publishing platform that powers a new writing ecosystem. Writers on Mirror don’t just publish, they build communities and fund projects using NFTs. Readers on Mirror don’t just consume content, they collect and become patrons, and discover new projects and writers in each other’s collections. All of this happens within a tightly integrated web3 product that is centered around an intuitive editor that allows writers to incorporate smart contract-based economic blocks.
We’re a remote first company. We've raised close to $14 million from investors that include a16z crypto, Union Square Ventures, and Variant.
