Web3 Research Jobs in Toronto, Canada

About Otherlife Hi, we’re Otherlife. We’re here to design how people experience the next era of the internet. We work at the intersection of culture, design, and emerging technology.Why?Because design is how people connect with new technology. As Web3 and digital identity grow, we need experiences that are clear, simple, and easy to use. When design gets this wrong, emerging technology feels inaccessible or intimidating. When it gets it right, it invites people in. Creativity helps make it all feel more human, turning complex systems into experiences people actually want to use..What we do Otherlife is MoonPay’s digital creative studio.

Our work blends strategy, design, storytelling, and technical fluency, with a focus on clarity, usability and cultural relevance. We care deeply about craft and about building work that lasts beyond a launch moment. With MoonPay’s infrastructure behind us, we’re able to turn ambitious creative ideas into real, scalable products and experiences.What’s nextThis is a moment of evolution for Otherlife; our scope is expanding, the work is getting bigger, and the opportunity for impact has never been greater.
