> Lead Product Designer role owning end-to-end design for renter and property manager products. Requires 5+ years experience, Figma design system ownership, and AI-assisted design workflow.

## Job Description

## 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
