Job description

Capital markets are undergoing a fundamental shift. Assets that live in fragmented systems and manual workflows are moving onto blockchains – systems designed to move and store value more transparently and efficiently. While this unlocks more open and programmable financial systems, it also introduces significant complexity. For most users, interacting with this new infrastructure is still too difficult. Fun builds the infrastructure that powers consumer-facing fintech applications – handling onboarding, account access, and money movement so users can interact with blockchain-based systems as seamlessly as they do with traditional finance. For fintech builders, Fun provides a best‑in‑class onboarding and deposit stack that drives conversion and unlocks user growth. We operate at the intersection of financial infrastructure, complex engineering, and product experience.

About the Role

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer who will own product design end‑to‑end for Fun.

Consumer finance applications have become global‑first. This shift to global applications has created fascinating product and design challenges. Global users interact with money across hundreds of different assets, payment methods, countries, currencies, and account types. Our job is to make deposit and withdrawal flows that adapt, convert, and feel native. Tucking all of this complexity behind the scenes so that we can deliver every user a personalized, delightful experience.

We are looking for a self‑starter. You'll walk in on day one, identify what needs to change, and start making things better immediately. Our company culture has a very strong point of view on craft and quality. It’s not enough for something to just work; it has to be beautiful too.

Requirements

• 6+ years of product or interaction design experience, with some of that at staff or lead level
• Experience designing consumer‑facing financial or crypto products
• Mastery of Figma and component‑based design systems
• A portfolio that demonstrates both craft and thinking – you design and think about complete experiences, not just screens and pixels
• Strong grasp of motion design and how animation enhances (not decorates) usability
• Comfortable collaborating directly with frontend engineers – you know enough about React and CSS to have a real conversation
• Exceptional attention to detail, with a particular focus on visual detail – typography, spacing, hierarchy, color and the why behind every interaction
• Highly autonomous – you can define the problem, set your own direction, and execute without being managed
• Clear communicator who can bring engineers, PMs, and stakeholders along on design decisions

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with React, TypeScript, or SCSS – enough to QA your own work in code
• Experience building or scaling design systems in fast‑growing product teams
• Motion design implementation via prototyping tools or direct engineer collaboration
• Custom Figma tooling or plugin development
• Experience designing products at scale (100K+ users)

What Sets You Apart

• You get things done – you balance creative exploration with pragmatic decisions and have a track record of getting things out the door at a high bar
• You've been the senior design voice in a room before and know how to hold that position with conviction
• You thrive in ambiguous, fast‑paced environments and are quick to learn new paradigms
• You don't just make things look good – you make them work better
• You set a high bar for yourself and the people around you, and you do it without being precious about it

Why Join Us

• Shape the future of payments and programmable money
• Work with bleeding‑edge tech in a domain where innovation moves fast
• Join a mission‑driven team focused on access, openness, and trust
• Be a key contributor, not just a cog—your work will ship fast and matter
• Collaborate with top‑tier protocols, builders, and financial infrastructure providers

Location and Work Environment

This role is primarily in‑person at our Midtown, NYC headquarters. We work together Monday through Thursday for fast, iterative collaboration and optional WFH Fridays to reset and recharge.
