Why Design at Dtravel?
If you are passionate about travel, you love problem solving, and you’re curious about web3, Dtravel is the place for you. As a Designer at Dtravel, you’ll be working on problems at the forefront of the future of the internet and commerce, crafting solutions for the following:
Trust: How might we utilize “trustless” mechanisms of blockchain technology to facilitate seamless peer-to-peer transactions and interactions between operators and guests with no middlemen or intermediaries? How might design thinking generate more consumer trust in web3 concepts, at large?
Governance & Community: How might we empower our community members to be active participants in shaping the future of our project? What will the design process look like when we’re designing with our community, rather than for them?
Dispute Resolution: What does the future of customer service look like without centralized intermediaries? How might we engage our DAO to resolve issues between community members?
Identity, Reputation & Credentials: How might we decentralize reviews and online reputation of operators and guests? What does a future travel industry look like when reputation and reviews aren’t contained inside each travel provider, but instead bridge across many different booking platforms?
Loyalty: How might the future of online reputation pave the way for new mechanisms of decentralized loyalty and rewards programs?
Education: How might we utilize education to create an easier on-ramp for more people to experience the benefits of ownership, freedom, and control that web3 has to offer?
What Will I be Working On?
This position offers the opportunity to work on ground-breaking products that will redefine the future of travel and commerce.
Hospitality operator tools: Define and design the tools short-term rental operators need to run their business as effectively and enjoyably as possible. This can include listing page creation and management, calendar and reservation management, marketing products, messaging tools, and more.
Guest and Operator loyalty programs: How might we reward guests and operators for positive behavior?
Guest and Operator referral programs: How can we make it easy and rewarding for our community to help grow itself?
Operator onboarding: How might we bring new operators onto the platform as easily as possible while educating them on new concepts, such as cryptocurrencies and DAOs? How might that experience differ for an owner-operator with one property vs a property manager with 1,000 properties?
Guest platform: Define and design the future of search, aggregation, wish lists, wallet infrastructure, listing pages, checkout flows, messaging, and more.
Governance tools: What does it look like when a community of thousands or millions of operators, guests, and token holders are submitting proposals and voting on the future of the protocol?
