Lead Product Designer

Responsibilities

• Own the design of product features and surfaces from discovery and research through shipped product, including renter-facing application flows, property manager UI, and internal tools
• Partner directly with product managers and engineers in sprint planning, grooming, and design reviews
• Contribute to the Findigs design system (components, tokens, documentation) and keep it current and usable by both designers and engineers as the product evolves
• Run and support user research: moderated testing, usability sessions, survey design, and synthesis
• Use AI-assisted design tools (Figma AI, AI-assisted prototyping, research synthesis tools) as part of your standard workflow
• Communicate design work clearly in async formats (written rationale, Loom walkthroughs, Figma annotations, and sprint update posts) so the broader team stays informed without needing a meeting
• Contribute your perspective as the design voice in cross-functional settings

Requirements

• 5+ years of progressive product design experience; experience designing for complex, data-heavy, or multi-stakeholder products (fintech, proptech, B2B SaaS, or similar) strongly preferred
• A portfolio showing end-to-end product work: discovery, structure, visual design, and shipped outcomes, not just static screen
• The ability to own a design surface with light direction; you ask the right questions and move, you don't wait for a fully-formed brief
• Experience contributing to or co-owning a design system in Figma: tokens, component variants, documentation, and versioning
• Genuine engagement with AI in your design workflow; you've used it, you've pushed it, and you want to push it further
• Strong async communication skills; you can explain a design decision or push back on a brief in a Notion comment or Slack thread without needing a meeting
• The ability to navigate fast-moving environments where scope changes and priorities shift

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in housing, fintech, identity, or screening products
• Experience as the primary or only product designer on a product, where you've held broad scope with limited design coverage around you
• Figma power user: variables, advanced prototyping, plugins, component architecture
• Experience working with frontend engineers on design-to-code token/component implementation (Storybook, design tokens, or similar)
• Experience in a high-growth startup where the design function is still maturing

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary + Pre-IPO equity
• Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO) policy
• Health benefits, 401(k) matching up to 4%, monthly gym stipend, and lunch provided every day
