Job description

About Fin

Fin is a next-generation payments platform built for high-value, global, and instant transactions. We are a Series A-stage company backed by Sequoia, Circle, and other notable investors. Powered by stablecoins, Fin enables users and businesses to move millions of dollars in seconds - whether to other Fin users, directly into bank accounts, or across crypto rails. By combining the speed of crypto with the reliability and trust of traditional finance, Fin reimagines how money moves worldwide. If banks and payment products were reinvented today, they would look like Fin.

Product Designer

Fin is hiring a Product Designer to own design across the product. You will be our only full-time designer, reporting to Aashiq and working directly with the engineering team. This is a hands-on role for someone who can operate as a one-person design function: understanding the problem, deciding what good should look like, producing the work, and staying involved until it ships. We move quickly and the work will not always arrive as a complete brief. You should be comfortable creating clarity from ambiguity, making practical tradeoffs, and moving between large product initiatives and the smaller design work that comes up along the way.

What you’ll do

• Maintain and evolve Fin’s design system, ensuring consistency and scalability across mobile and web as the product grows
• Shape product decisions through strong product thinking, helping define what gets built and why, not just how it looks
• Bring high craft to visual UI work, from interaction details to polish on shipped features
• Move fast: iterate quickly across early concepts, prototypes, and shipped product without getting stuck in over-process
• Take on a range of design responsibilities as needed, from core product UI to marketing assets and other brand touchpoints, with working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite
• Work closely with engineers and cofounders daily, translating ambiguous problems into clear, buildable designsThe role is centered on core product design. Experience with research, product copy, design systems, brand, or marketing design is useful, but none of those is the primary job.

What we’re looking for

• Strong product and interaction design skills
• The ability to own work independently from an unclear starting point
• Strong product judgment and comfort challenging the initial solution
• High fluency with modern design and prototyping tools
• The ability to produce and revise strong work quickly
• Experience working on a small, fast-moving team
• Comfort handling a broad range of design problems without specialized support
• Strong communication and an effective working style with founders and engineers
• A high degree of accountability for what ultimately ships

Experience in fintech is helpful but not required. Experience with consumer products, SMB products, or other software with a high UX bar is relevant.

We are not looking for the most impressive portfolio at the expense of everything else. We care about whether you can think like a product owner, work at the pace of the company, and consistently make the product better.
