A bit about us:

We’re an early-stage, high-growth B2B fintech company building a modern platform that sits at the intersection of data, liquidity, and complex financial workflows. Our product is already live, powering real transactions and used by sophisticated institutional customers.

We’ve hit a meaningful inflection point with strong traction, real revenue, clear product-market fit and are now focused on scaling into a category-defining platform.

The team is small, sharp, and moves really fast. You’ll be working directly with experienced founders in a high-ownership environment where product quality and user experience truly matter.

Why join us?

Own design, end-to-end: This is a true zero-to-one design leadership seat. You’ll be the sole owner of design across product, brand, and GTM.
Lead IC with a path to leadership: Start as a hands-on design leader, with the opportunity to build and lead the design function as the company scales.
Direct line to founders: Work side-by-side with both co-founders on product direction, UX decisions, and overall company strategy.
Real product, real stakes: You’re designing for sophisticated users navigating high-value financial decisions—not hypothetical use cases.
Massive impact surface area: Every improvement in clarity, usability, and design directly impacts growth, trust, and revenue.
High-velocity environment: Ship quickly, iterate constantly, and operate with minimal bureaucracy.

Job Details

Role outlook:

Own and design the full product experience from core workflows to system-level UX and interaction patterns
Translate complex, data-heavy financial concepts into intuitive, high-quality user experiences
Partner directly with the founders, engineering, and product to drive product direction and execution
Build and evolve a cohesive design system across product, marketing, and brand
Contribute to brand identity, website, and sales/marketing materials
Leverage modern tools (including AI-driven workflows) to move faster and expand creative output
Establish design principles and foundations that will scale with the company
Operate as a player-coach over time, with the opportunity to hire and lead future designers

What we’re looking for:

~6+ years of proven product design experience (early-stage startup experience strongly preferred)
Strong product thinker who can simplify complex workflows into elegant solutions
High craft across UX, UI, and visual design
Experience with data-heavy products (fintech, SaaS, marketplaces, or similar) is a strong plus
Comfortable operating as a lead IC today, with ambition to grow into a design leader
Fast-moving, high-agency, and comfortable with ambiguity
Collaborative, low-ego, and thrives working closely with engineers and founders

Location:

San Francisco office (hybrid, ~3-4 days/week in-office expectation)
