About the role

Role: Founding Product Designer

Founding Product Designer at a remote-first FinTech startup. You will work directly with the co-founders with broad scope across Product and UX design, and you will help shape product direction (the company does not have PMs).

What you’ll do

  • Collaborate closely with co-founders and Product Engineers to set product direction.
  • Lead user-focused design by:
    • asking sharp questions to understand user workflows and business logic
    • identifying what truly needs solving before starting design
    • spending meaningful time talking to users
  • Design a product with both B2B and B2C elements, requiring high UI/UX polish.
  • Create solutions for complex financial UX challenges where industry patterns may not exist.
  • Build and maintain UI/UX quality, pushing the envelope to set the standard.

Requirements

  • Prior Product Designer experience and a strong portfolio demonstrating it.
  • Experience designing web applications and the ability to reason about complex B2B workflows.
  • Familiarity with Figma.
  • Experience building or contributing significantly to a design system.
  • Must be based in the United States and have used financial products in the US.

Nice-to-haves

  • Strong product sense and comfort working without dedicated PMs.
  • Ability to handle highly complex, novel financial UI/UX problems without clear pattern matching.

Compensation & benefits

  • Base salary: $120K – $175K
  • Equity: 0.25% – 1.0%
  • Benefits include 100% paid employee health plans and an employer-funded 401(k) match, plus dental and vision.
