Staff/Principal Product Designer

If you have a deep passion for interaction design, product thinking, and pixel-perfect execution—and the leadership and autonomy to drive impact without waiting for direction—this is the role for you.

Must Have Experience

We’re looking for a world-class IC designer who:

Has shipped complex, high-quality software products. Designs for multiple surfaces—desktop, mobile, chat interfaces, AI first and emerging experiences. Balances speed and detail—knows when to move fast and when to obsess over the last 1%. Thinks end-to-end—from big-picture systems thinking to the smallest interaction detail. Understands engineering and can build prototypes to communicate ideas (Framer, Loveable, Windsurf, Vercel, Figma, code etc...). Has taste. You know what great design looks and feels like, and you push to get there. Can tell a compelling story—articulating your decisions with clarity and conviction. Operates with agency, ownership, and autonomy—doesn’t wait to be told what to do.

Who This Role Is Not For

This role is not for you if:

You prefer strategy, research or system design over execution—this is a craft-heavy role. You need a lot of direction or structured processes—you should thrive in open-endedness and ambiguity. You don’t obsess over details—we’re looking for someone who sweats the pixels. You primarily work on marketing sites—this role is about designing deep, functional software experiences.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

What you’ll be doing:

Owning end-to-end design for high-impact product areas from concept to execution. Defining new interaction patterns and design paradigms for Fin, our automation, and AI-powered tools. Sketching, prototyping, and testing ideas at different fidelities to validate decisions. Working closely with engineers and PMs to define problems, move quickly, and deliver high-quality solutions. Maintaining high standards of craft while balancing speed and execution. Contributing to design culture—mentoring others, pushing for greatness in a team, refining processes, and sharing knowledge inside and outside Fin.

What Success Looks Like

You’ll know you’re successful if:

You’ve raised the design bar. Your work is referenced as an example of exceptional craft and taste. You’ve shipped product with major business impact. The areas you own are visibly better because of you. You operate autonomously. You don’t need direction—you see what needs to be done and do it. Engineers love working with you. Your designs are considered, clear, and easy to implement. Your peers trust your judgment. When you push for quality, people listen.

Interview Process

We understand that interviewing for a new role is both time and energy consuming–we aim to be thorough, speedy and transparent in our approach. You should expect for the entire

process to be no more than 4 weeks from start to finish. You’ll meet with various members of our team and have the opportunity to fully validate that Fin and the role is the right fit

for you.
