Job description

At Shakepay, we’re on a mission to usher in the Bitcoin golden age. We’re reimagining financial services to give every Canadian their fair shake. Our culture is built around doing work that matters, winning as a team, and celebrating success. If you're the kind of person who values growth, shipping fast, and sharing your ideas openly with a group of like-minded people, come and build with us!

About Shakepay
Since 2015, we’ve been building the Shakepay app to make buying and earning bitcoin fast, easy, and secure. In 2022, we launched the Shakepay Card, allowing shakers to earn bitcoin rewards when they shop. Today, more than one million Canadians use Shakepay to grow their bitcoin savings and take control of their financial future. We’re regulated across all Canadian provinces and territories, and backed by renowned venture capitalists with a funding of $44M. We have a passionate, loyal, and growing community, and we’re looking for people who want to help us build something truly special.

Junior Product Designer (3 Month Contract)

We’re ushering in a new era of financial services. While traditional banking products rely on outdated technology, innovative solutions are being built from scratch. We are looking for an Intern Product Designer who can simplify how individuals are meant to build wealth.

You will:

• Collaborate with product designers, engineers, and product managers to create intuitive and engaging experiences for our customers
• Contribute to the design of new features and improvements across Shakepay’s products, from concept to final execution
• Conduct user research and usability testing to refine and improve the user experience
• Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that bring ideas to life
• Learn and grow alongside a team of experienced designers in a supportive and fast-moving environment

Must have:

• A portfolio showcasing design work that demonstrates strong visual and interaction skills
• Experience with Figma or similar design tools
• A passion for crafting intuitive user experiences
• Strong communication skills and the ability to take feedback and iterate on designs
• A willingness to learn, adapt, and contribute to a fast-growing team

Nice to have:

• Experience with user research and usability testing
• An understanding of design systems and how to apply them
• Curiosity about bitcoin and financial technology

Why join us?

• Help shape the future of money: Be part of a team that's revolutionizing financial services in Canada, one sat at a time.
• Impact millions: As cryptocurrency continues to gain traction, our potential for growth is massive. You can help us bring Shakepay and Bitcoin to all Canadians.
• Grow your career: We’re growing, and so can you! We have programs in place to encourage continuous learning, growth, and development.
• Ideas, not titles: We want the best ideas to make their way through, no matter where they come from.

Perks and benefits

• Remote-friendly: Work from anywhere in Canada, with optional access to our office spaces in Montreal and Toronto.
• Have fun together: Quarterly team-specific or company-wide offsite to connect with each other.

We understand that potential can be just as valuable as experience. If you're eager to learn, grow, and contribute to the mission but worry that you may not have the “right” experience, we still want you to apply. We encourage applications from everyone, regardless of background and life experience. We’re firm believers that a little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept.

Fluency in English is required due to the percentage of English-speaking customers and the nature of our platform, which is available to all Canadians.
