WeatherXM is building the world's largest, community-powered, web3-native weather network to provide accurate, hyperlocal weather services to consumers and businesses. Based on low-cost web3 weather stations, WeatherXM allows anyone to become a weather station operator and earn rewards for collecting and validating weather data.

WeatherXM AG has raised $5M in seed funding to fuel the growth of their community-powered IoT weather station network. Placeholder VC led the round, joined by metaplanet, ConsenSys Mesh, dlab (SOSV), Protocol Labs, Borderless Capital, DLTx and several prominent angel investors including Juan Benet (Filecoin), Maxwell Krohn, Dimitris Togias and Ele Diakomichalis (Radicle).

We are looking for a passionate, and energetic Mid/Senior UX Designer (4+ years of experience designing and shipping products) to work with us and build the world’s first decentralised weather network. As a UX Designer, you will work closely with researchers, developers, and product people to improve existing web, mobile and on device apps, create new ones from scratch, and improve WeatherXM’s user touchpoints along the line. To do this, you will need to collaborate with researchers and stakeholders. You will respond to research findings and insights in order to base your design decisions before moving forward.

You will join a growing user experience team that consists of designers and researchers. You will have the opportunity to shape the future of the organisation, as you’ll work closely with people from all departments in order to improve internal and external experiences.

• Understanding of accessibility standards and basic concepts. You know what WCAG is and have read at least one version of it
• Understanding the relation of business and user needs so you can prioritise your focus accordingly
• Strong communication skills. You know how to speak with stakeholders and developers, understand them, and articulate your points to them.
• Fluent in the English language is a must. You’ll work with international stakeholders and users from around the globe.

• Web3, IoT and crypto knowledge
