The Opportunity
We’re looking for a world-class Senior Product Designer to join our growing product team and help shape intuitive, high-impact experiences across our suite of workflow tools and financial products. This is not a role for someone who simply executes tickets or hands off mockups. This role is for a builder and craftsperson—a designer who wants to deeply understand customer problems, partner tightly with product and engineering, and ship thoughtful, high-quality software that drives real business outcomes.
You will work end-to-end across the product lifecycle—from discovery and research through concept, execution, and iteration—while helping establish scalable design practices as the company grows.
What You'll Do:
- Lead the conceptualization and execution of end-to-end designs for new products and features across native and responsive web experiences.
- Design and ship intuitive, elegant product experiences that directly impact customer retention, adoption, and growth.
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to establish a clear, lightweight, and customer-centric design process that increases shipping velocity and quality.
- Help translate complex workflows, data, and constraints into simple, flexible, and scalable design systems and patterns.
- Raise the bar for product design craft across mobile and web.
- Approach design holistically—considering UX, UI, data, business requirements, accessibility, and legal/compliance needs.
- Conduct and support user research, usability testing, and experimentation to inform and validate design decisions.
- Iterate on existing products using data, customer feedback, and experimentation to continuously improve the user experience.
- Create lo‑fi and hi‑fi prototypes to explore concepts, communicate ideas, and align stakeholders.
- Drive alignment by clearly presenting design rationale and trade-offs to cross-functional partners and leadership.
- Help operationalize and scale design processes, patterns, and systems as the product and team grow.
Who You Are:
- You are a builder with a strong bias for action. You take ownership, move quickly, and care deeply about shipping quality work.
- You are customer-obsessed and validate problems before jumping to solutions.
- You are comfortable working in ambiguity and enjoy bringing clarity to complex problem spaces.
- You think in systems and patterns, not just screens.
- You communicate clearly and collaborate naturally with Product, Engineering, Data, Marketing, and Leadership.
What We’re Looking For:
- 5+ years of experience designing and shipping digital products from concept to launch in a fast-paced environment (B2B or SaaS preferred).
- Strong foundation in UX, UI, interaction design, and information architecture across iOS, Android, and responsive web.
- High proficiency in Figma, including component libraries and design systems.
- Strong lo‑fi and hi‑fi prototyping skills.
- Ability to distill complex problems into intuitive, scalable design solutions.
- Experience using data, research, and experimentation to inform design decisions.
- Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and iterate quickly in a collaborative environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain design decisions and trade-offs.
- Familiarity with modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React / React Native) and how design decisions translate to code.
Our Core Values
- Truth. We value honesty and data. We seek to understand what is reality, so we can effectively respond to it.
- Slope. Rate of change over time. We hire and reward based on a team member’s potential, capacity, and growth-mindset, rather than a fancy resume.
- Mutual Benefit. The best outcomes happen when everyone wins - customers, team members, and the company. We seek to understand each other’s aspirations and create alignment to get there.
- Competitive Greatness. We desire an opportunity and environment from which to pull the greatest versions of ourselves out into the world, rather than just a “job”.
