• Design with a strong focus on safety, regulatory compliance, risk disclosures, and secure user interaction principles.

• 4–7 years of experience in UX/UI design, with at least 2 years working on trading, wealth management, fintech, or investment‑related products.
• Proven ability to design for complex financial flows, data‑heavy experiences, and real‑time interactions.
• Strong portfolio showcasing mobile‑first and responsive design, design systems, and high‑fidelity UI.
