Job description

Highbeam is building the future of business banking and cash management.

Our platform combines AI agents, automated financial workflows, and integrated financial products that save brands time and money.

Customers have generated billions in sales and include well-known brands such as Cuts, Tushy, Rocco, Sabah, Still Here, Alice Mushrooms, Original Grain, birddogs, and more.

Our team includes alumni of Shopify, Square, Toast, Rippling, and McKinsey.

We've raised $42M in equity from Acrew, FirstMark, Mayfield, and Two Sigma Ventures.

About this role

We're hiring an extraordinary product designer: strong craft, strong product thinking, an exceptional eye. You'll be designer #2, working directly with our design lead (Rohail) and CTO (Gautam), sharing ownership of the product's direction rather than executing specs handed down to you.

What you'll work on

• The financial platform, your primary focus: money movement, credit and capital, accounts, cards, and bill pay. Our customers are in these workflows every day, moving real money.




• Luma, our AI financial analyst: scenario planning, cash flow intelligence, and spend insight. Few teams anywhere have shown what a trustworthy AI experience looks like when it handles someone's money.




• The design system: the patterns and components the whole product is built from. You'll help set the quality standard and hold the product to it.

Where design is headed here

Design tooling and practice are changing faster than they have in a decade, and Highbeam is a product-led company where the design team controls its own trajectory: what we own grows as we show what design can do. Joining now means you set the foundations, and you help answer a question most of the industry is still guessing at: what does AI-native fintech design look like?

Who you are

• 4+ years as a product designer, ideally in fintech, financial tools, or SMB products with a product-led growth motion. We're open to a wide range of experiences + seniority for the right talent.




• Craft and UX rigor: hierarchy, interaction, and polish that make complex workflows legible




• AI fluency, in both senses, is a requirement: you design with AI tools (Claude, Cursor, v0, or whatever replaces them next quarter),




• Enjoy tackling ambiguous problems and shaping them into a clear vision

You’ll thrive at Highbeam if...

• You love working in-person with a high-performing team




• You enjoy working in an idea-meritocratic, low-ego environment




• You are proactive and self-directed, and you excel in ambiguous, fast moving environments




• You care about delivering a polished customer experience




• Bonus: You have experience working in fintech, AI or early-stage startups

What we offer

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity




• Comprehensive health & benefits package




• Generous PTO




• $1K/year stipend to purchase our customers' products




• $100/mo wellness stipend




• Yearly offsite - last year we went to Mexico City!




• In-office perks: Commute covered and $20/day lunch stipend




• Great location: Our NYC office is in NoHo, a short walk from the A,C,E B,D,F,M N,Q,R,W 1 6 trains. Our Toronto office is downtown near St. Andrew Station.
