About the role

Overview We are hiring our first Product Designer to define and lead design across a fast-moving, data-dense product in the financial technology space.

Today, product design is not centralized — decisions are made across product and engineering. We are looking for someone to bring clarity, structure, and high-quality execution to the entire user experience.

You will be designing for advanced, power users working with real-time market data, analytics, and execution workflows. The product is highly complex, where usability, precision, and clarity directly impact user outcomes.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role, not a management position. You will report directly to the CEO initially, with a transition to reporting to a Head of Product once that role is in place.

What You’ll Do

Own product design end-to-end: research, interaction design, UI design, and engineering handoff across web and mobile

Design onboarding, activation, pricing, and conversion flows with a focus on improving clarity and performance of key funnels

Improve usability across complex, real-time data workflows and trading-style interfaces

Design tools for advanced market data such as order flow, DOM-style views, footprint/cluster charts, volume profiles, and execution systems

Establish a lightweight design system (components, patterns, and guidelines) that supports scale

Work closely with founders and a small engineering team in a fast-paced, async-friendly environment

Help define interaction patterns for upcoming AI-assisted features such as alerts, insights, and data interpretation tools

What We’re Looking ForRequired

5+ years of product design experience

Portfolio demonstrating 3–4 shipped end-to-end products (web or mobile)

Experience working on complex, technical, or data-dense products, such as:

Trading or financial platforms

Analytics or BI tools

Developer tools or similar systems

Strong ability to simplify complex workflows without reducing functionality

Comfortable working as the only designer in a startup or small team environment

Strong visual and interaction design skills with high attention to detail

Expert in Figma and design system practices

Strong written communication and ability to work effectively in async environments

Nice to Have

Familiarity with financial markets or trading concepts (order flow, volume profile, DOM, etc.)

Experience building design systems from scratch

Experience optimizing SaaS funnels (activation, conversion, retention)

Experience working in small engineering teams (3–5 people)

Why This Role

You will define design from the ground up in a product that is actively evolving

High ownership across the full user experience

Direct collaboration with founders and engineers

Significant impact on product clarity, usability, and growth
