You'll fit if...
You're curious about Web3.
You are interested in open-source software and web3 technologies like cryptocurrencies, blockchains, DAOs and NFTs. However, you don't have to be a DeFi degen or seasoned veteran; we all continuously learn as we go.
You ship things.
Our clients expect to launch real products or take us on to improve existing ones; so we need to see that you've worked on production products before. This includes projects at startups, large companies, and freelance/consulting work. We generally look for 5+ years of experience.
Working with early-stage companies is full of ambiguity. There often aren't clear briefs, and context changes rapidly. It means we have to turn from problem solvers to problem seekers who help founders figure out building the right thing before building the thing right.
You are freelance / contract-based.
We're a collective of independent designers who already know the ins and outs of running their freelance businesses. We bundle together flexibly to work on the most exciting projects - but that flexibility requires maturity. We expect all WE3 contributors to know how to manage their time and workload, communicate with clients, present their work, and deliver things on time and in high quality.
We aren't a traditional agency or an employer, so we can't guarantee an ongoing stream of projects, so we prefer to work with people who like to manage their workload independently.
Unfortunately, we can't make it work if you have a full-time job – the commitment to our client projects requires more than a couple of hours in the evening after work.
Traditional employment is becoming unbundled.
The most talented thinkers and builders realize they can deliver their best work without being attached to a monolithic corporation.
But independent ≠ alone.
Designers, strategists, builders, and thinkers are bundling back up in lean, liquid teams. Why? Empowerment, flexibility, optionality.
The future is a fluid collective of top talent tapping into the most exciting and valuable opportunities.
It's sharing the upside in the work you do, in the ideas you help to shape and make real.
That's why WE3 is a community-owned collective.
We're looking for freelance digital product designers, brand designers, strategists, researchers, creatives and builders. We curate the community to include top-tier talent to help founders shape ambitious ventures.
