Senior Product Designer

About the job

Responsibilities

  • Own a product space end-to-end, from discovery through launch and post-launch iteration.
  • Turn ambiguous problems into sequenced, executable bets and align stakeholders on the problem before the solution.
  • Set the craft bar and communicate quality and tradeoff decisions clearly.
  • Shape and evolve design systems, including promoting, unifying, or deprecating patterns and partnering with engineering to ship components.
  • Choose appropriate design methodologies for speed, learning, quality, and regulated fintech constraints.
  • Influence the roadmap by connecting design decisions to business strategy and identifying design-led opportunities.
  • Build cross-functional alignment with product management, engineering, brand, research, and leadership.
  • Write and present clear narratives that move work forward.
  • Mentor mid-level designers and model expected standards.
  • Improve design rituals and processes, including critiques, kickoffs, retrospectives, onboarding, and hiring.
  • Create documentation, frameworks, and processes that increase design-team leverage.

Requirements

  • 6+ years designing consumer digital products.
  • Demonstrated ownership of an entire product space rather than individual features.
  • Portfolio showing design craft, reasoning, exploration, tradeoffs, and post-launch outcomes.
  • Experience building, evolving, or deprecating design-system patterns at scale.
  • Experience partnering with engineering to ship design-system components.
  • Range across visual, interaction, and content design.
  • Native mobile product-design experience.
  • Evidence of mentorship, critique leadership, or process improvements adopted by others.
  • Strong written communication, including documentation and asynchronous alignment.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and fast-paced environments, with judgment about when speed is inappropriate.
  • Fluency using AI for prototyping, exploration, and production workflows.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in fintech, lending, credit, regulated consumer products, or other highly constrained domains.
  • Experience designing for a multi-brand portfolio or launching a second product alongside an existing one.
  • Motion, prototyping, or front-end literacy.
  • Experience working closely with an embedded UX researcher.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Base salary: $180,000–$220,000 annually.
  • Potential eligibility for bonus and equity programs.
  • Company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents from the first day.
  • Up to $100 monthly fitness reimbursement or complimentary Life Time Fitness or Equinox membership.
  • 401(k) with a 3.5% company match and immediate vesting.
  • Meal program for lunch and dinner.
  • Pre-tax benefits, including a $1,000 HSA match.
  • Life and accidental insurance.
  • Flexible paid time off.
