Senior Product Designer

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer @ Series-A fintech startup. You must have 5+ years of experience and thrive in ambiguity, ship fast, and be comfortable working directly in code bases alongside Figma. You'll own design end-to-end for core product areas. This is a high-ownership role on a small, elite design team disrupting one of the sleepiest industries in financial services. What will you be doing? • Own entire feature areas end-to-end — from discovery and Figma design through prototyping in local dev environments, with designs moving from Figma to code the same day • Design complex, data-dense UIs and multi-step automation workflows for AI-native mortgage tooling — including agentic flows, streaming content, and probabilistic outputs • Collaborate with internal subject matter experts and client-side users to gather requirements and validate concepts through rapid iteration • Contribute to the migration to a new component system (ShadCN) and maintain scalable design system assets • Participate in weekly design critiques and partner closely with engineering and product to ship features with real user impact Key Requirements • 5+ years of startup or small-team experience shipping real products (pure Big Tech or pure agency backgrounds will not be considered) • Actively works in or alongside code (vibe coding, opening PRs, prototyping in local dev environments) — not just Figma-to-handoff • Portfolio with detailed, real case studies showing complex SaaS workflows, data-dense UIs, and clear problem-to-outcome storytelling • Deep Figma proficiency (components, variants, auto-layout, prototyping) with a bias toward shipping fast over pixel-perfection • Must be based in the United States with ability to travel domestically to client sites; no visa sponsorship available
