Descrição da oferta de emprego

Build the future of payments with AI, Pix & Open Finance

Type: Full-Time

Reports to: Head of design

The Company

Nova is building a new generation payment network (i.e. reinventing Visa/Mastercard) using AI on top of Pix and Open Finance.

Its first product is a B2C digital wallet that functions as an infrastructure bridge between traditional credit cards and Pix, allowing consumers to use their existing credit card limits anywhere, even to pay Pix and Boletos in installments.

The company was founded by an elite team of fintech veterans and has had top-tier venture capital investors (Monashees, Canary, Canaan and Propel) since its inception.

They recently raised a large Series A and are now assembling a small team of exceptional experienced professionals to build, launch and grow its next generation of products.

The Role

We are looking for an exceptional individual to help design, build and scale Nova's next generation of products, working closely with the founders and the greater founding team. We’re looking for an outstanding product designer who will:

• Lead the design of payment experiences for both consumers and merchants, across mobile apps and desktop platforms, from research to polished, shipped product.
• Help shape Nova's product vision and design direction, influencing decisions beyond your own projects.
• Raise the design quality bar across the product, mentoring others and improving how the whole team ships UI.
• Operate as an important IC designer, partnering directly with founders and leaders on product vision
• Build and evolve design systems ensuring scalable, accessible, and delightful UIs.
• Prototype and test ideas rapidly, validating hypotheses with real users.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product and engineering to align design decisions with business outcomes.
• Share work frequently in constructive design critiques and contribute to our design culture of openness and iteration.
• Occasionally support brand and marketing initiatives (landing pages, campaigns) when your craft can raise the bar.

This is your chance to be a key player at work, working on challenging projects with significant impact, as part of a select team of members at an ambitious and unique new payment network company.

• Experience working in fast-paced environments, balancing high quality with speed.
• Full professional proficiency in English

Preferred:

• Experience building and shipping production-quality interfaces with AI coding tools (Replit, Cursor, Claude Code, v0, etc.), reducing or removing the need for front-end handoff.
