Job description

About the Role

Businesses come to Wayflyer to get the capital they need to grow. When they apply, connect their data or upload documents, every screen, word and transition either builds their trust or loses it. We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer with exceptional craft, strong product instincts and a builder mentality to shape how they access and manage capital.

You will take financial workflows and information-rich experiences from first idea to shipped product, and make them feel intuitive and trustworthy.

As part of our fully remote team of 15 designers across Product, Brand, Motion, and Design Systems you’ll collaborate across disciplines, share a common design system, and challenge each other’s work through open critiques, always pushing the quality of our craft forward.

How we think about craft

• Craft is for the customer. Design should improve experiences, not just appearances.
• Execution matters. From pixels to micro-interactions, nothing should feel accidental.
• Trust is built through details. Especially when making decisions about their money.
• Quality is a choice we make every day. It is not a final polish step or a handoff.
• Speed and quality go together. We ship early, learn from real use and keep improving.
• You can't write quality into a spec. It comes from people who care and who build.

Who Thrives Here

• You don't wait for perfect requirements. You define the problem first.
• You balance customer needs, business goals and technical limits.
• You believe simplifying is one of the hardest and most valuable design skills.
• You care deeply about craft and know that details matter.
• You know that trust in financial products is built through hundreds of small interactions.
• You push back when it matters, for the customer and for quality.
• You use AI to explore, prototype and improve your work.
• You thrive in a fast-moving team.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own complex financial problems from discovery to delivery, and turn dense data into clear, scalable experiences.
• Prototype early and often, with AI tools or code, to test ideas before they cost engineering time.
• Build on our design system and help it evolve, with the design system designers.
• Work with engineers until what ships matches the design.
• Share your work in critiques and give feedback that raises everyone's work.

What You'll Bring

• You have experience designing digital products, ideally in fintech, banking, lending, payments or other data-heavy domains.
• You have a portfolio that shows strong product thinking and excellent visual and interaction craft, along with the reasons behind each decision.
• You use evidence and data to inform decisions, alongside strong product intuition.
• You care about outcomes as much as outputs, and understand how design contributes to business success.
• You drive work forward independently.
• Communicate clearly. You tell the story behind your decisions, and you give and receive feedback openly.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing lending, underwriting, credit, risk, payments, or financial products.
• Strong accessibility and inclusive design practice.
• Experience designing AI-powered products.
• Experience contributing to design systems.
• Experience working in high-growth startup environments.

Compensation & Benefits

• 25 days off, plus public holidays.
• Equity - because you should own a piece of what you're building.
• Generous parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers.
• 60 days a year to work abroad from wherever you want.
• Remote in Europe.
