About us
We're an early-stage B2B fintech startup building verification and credit management infrastructure, and the foundations for modern B2B trade more broadly.
The role
We're hiring our first designer to own product design end to end. You'll work directly with the founder and engineering: the founder sets the product direction, and you turn it into a product people actually want to use. This is a real ownership role. You'll shape not just how the product looks and works, but have a genuine voice in what we build and why. Briefs will often be incomplete and you'll need to move anyway. You'll work independently most of the time, and you'll have the room and the mandate to raise the bar on everything we ship.
What you'll own
- Product UI and UX across the whole platform, turning complex verification, credit and payments workflows into interfaces that are clear, trustworthy and genuinely easy to use
- The end-to-end design process: user flows, information architecture, interaction, and polished visual design
- Customer research, from planning sessions to turning findings into product changes
- Design quality at ship time, working alongside engineering through to release
- Our design language: applying and extending our existing component system so the product stays consistent as it grows
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- A genuinely excellent product designer. We're a small team and this is a high-trust, high-impact role, so we care above all about the quality of your work and judgement.
- 8+ years in product design, with a portfolio that shows it.
- A strong track record designing complex, data-dense B2B or SaaS products: dashboards, multi-step flows, tables, forms and workflow tools. Fintech, accounting, credit or payments experience is a real plus.
- Genuinely end to end: fluent across UX, interaction and visual design, not just one.
- Fluent in Figma, comfortable designing into an existing component system, and confident working through design-to-code handoff with engineers.
- A pragmatist who ships. You get to a high standard quickly and iterate from there.
- Someone who raises the bar and holds a high standard for themselves and the people around them.
- Someone who challenges assumptions, including the founder's and their own, and backs the challenge with evidence.
- Comfortable with ambiguity, setting your own priorities, and going deep on a technical problem space.
