Job description

Taktile empowers financial institutions to transform into truly AI-native organizations. We're growing rapidly with enterprise customers across banks and insurance companies, and we're looking for a Senior Product Designer.

About the role

We are building the world's leading software platform for running critical and highly-automated decisions. Our customers use our product to catch fraudsters, prevent money laundering, and expand access to credit for small businesses, among many other use cases. Taktile is making millions of such decisions across the globe every day.

We do this through a powerful suite of tools that combine ML/AI with heuristics and logic, flexible data integrations, and an overlay of data analytics. We see a high degree of usability as a key differentiator and have been investing in a world-class UI/UX from day one. To help us deliver our vision, we are seeking talented and experienced Senior Product Designers.

As a Senior Product Designer, you will be responsible for translating highly technical and complex problems into clean and understandable solutions. You will be the voice of user experience and design standards in a cross-functional setting, and responsible for the end-to-end design process for your team. You’ll join a diverse design team and work closely with engineers, marketing and sales to create products that make it easy for our users to make smarter and safer decisions at scale.

*Please not that this role is not open to full remote and is Berlin or London based only

Our Offer

• We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won't inquire about how you identify or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears
