About Toku
Crypto has had tremendous growth over the last several years. That growth comes with inevitable regulation. Regulation, in our view, is a good thing because it increases adoption.

Organizations that enable this transition from the pre-regulation to post-regulation environment - the companies compliantly navigate a changing regulatory landscape, or better yet, facilitate it, will be some of the most relevant organizations of the future. Toku will be one of those companies.

Toku’s products enable crypto-native companies to compliantly compensate their teams in both fiat and tokens in over 100 teams globally. Toku’s growing list of customers includes Aragon, Astar, dYdX, Filecoin Foundation, Gitcoin, Gnosis, Hedera Hashgraph, Protocol Labs, Teller, Safe, Storyverse, and others.

Paying people with tokens is such an obvious and early real-world use case of any token, regardless of what else the token can do. All tokens can be used to compensate workers - and in fact, are! Toku ensures that all token compensation is managed legally, and proper taxes are paid. This is a critical part of the transition to a post-regulation crypto industry.

Toku raised $20 million from a consortium led by Blockchain Capital with Protocol Labs, GMJP, OrangeDAO, Orrick, Reverie, Quantstamp, Next Web Capital, and prominent angel investors including Protocol Labs founder Juan Benet and Alchemy co-founders Nikil Viswanathan and Joe Lau. Read more about Toku in FortuneYahoo Finance, and CoinDesk.

About the role
As an early-stage company, we have successfully developed three web-based applications to address the needs of our clients. However, these applications lack a cohesive and user-friendly interface, hindering the overall user experience. To address this, we are seeking a talented UI/UX Designer to join our team on a short-term contract basis and lead the effort to unify our UI, establish common components, and enhance the usability of our dashboards.

- Ensure that the design system components are in Figma with tokens.

Collaboration with Product and Engineering Teams
- Work closely with the product team to use the design system to replicate the navigation and pages of the application and any future pages in the product plan.
- Collaborate with the engineering team to deliver the design system's reusable components and use them to replace the design of the application.
