Role Overview

We’re seeking a Product Designer (Web) to join our talented team and play a pivotal role in shaping our web application experience. You’ll collaborate closely with our Founders, Head of Mobile Design, Engineers, and Product teams in a design-forward environment that values creativity, user-centered thinking, and high-impact execution. This is a unique opportunity to help refine and elevate our platform, ensuring an intuitive and seamless experience for our users.

Responsibilities

• Create high-fidelity designs, mockups, and prototypes in Figma.
• Own and drive the end-to-end design process for our web application, from wireframes to high-fidelity mockups and prototypes.
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders to craft intuitive, engaging, and visually compelling user experiences.
• Maintain and evolve our design system to ensure consistency and scalability.
• Iterate rapidly based on feedback and data, prioritizing usability and performance.
• Design responsive layouts that adapt beautifully across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
• Collaborate with frontend engineers to ensure designs are implemented accurately.
• Conduct user research, usability testing, and gather feedback to improve designs.

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of professional experience in web/UI design.
• Experience designing for consumer-facing applications, with a focus on usability and accessibility.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across product and engineering.

Nice-to-Haves

• Previous experience designing for trading, investing, or fintech platforms.
• Experience working with design systems and component libraries.
• Familiarity with web technologies (React/HTML/CSS) and their impact on design decisions.

Bonus

• You have independently built React projects end-to-end. While this role is design-focused, we’ve found that the strongest designers often have at least a working knowledge of React or have implemented their own projects. This experience helps ensure stronger collaboration with engineers and demonstrates a deep, practical understanding of how designs translate into code.
• Generous UNLIMITED PTO (and we mean it!).
• Mandated two-week holiday shutdown at the end of the year for Christmas and New Year’s + company holidays.
• Autopilot covers 100% of premiums for employee and dependent benefits (health, dental, vision).
