Qualifications

The ideal candidate will possess a strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in UX and UI design, particularly for SaaS platforms or fintech products. You should have a proven track record of designing complex workflows and transforming them into simple, user-friendly interfaces. Experience creating and maintaining comprehensive design systems in Figma is essential, along with a solid understanding of responsive and mobile-first design principles. You should be comfortable working directly with developers, wireframing, and prototyping ideas swiftly to iterate and refine concepts. Strong commercial awareness is important, as you will need to understand how design impacts user engagement, conversion, and operational efficiency. Fintech experience, especially within lending, banking, payments, or financial marketplaces, is advantageous but not mandatory. Above all, we value your ability to think critically about product functionality and your confidence in challenging existing assumptions to deliver innovative solutions.

As a Senior Product Designer, your responsibilities will include:

• Understanding and analyzing business requirements and user needs to inform design direction.
• Designing end-to-end user experiences for both customer-facing and internal platforms, ensuring clarity, usability, and aesthetic appeal.
• Collaborating closely with the CEO, CTO, and development team to translate ideas into wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs.
• Developing and maintaining a comprehensive design system to ensure consistency across the platform.
• Creating intuitive workflows for complex processes such as financial onboarding, account connectivity, and lender matching.
• Designing data visualizations, dashboards, and portals that simplify complex financial information for users.
• Implementing responsive and mobile-first design strategies to optimize usability across devices.
• Participating in user testing and feedback sessions to refine designs and improve user satisfaction.
• Challenging existing product assumptions and proposing innovative solutions to enhance functionality and user engagement.
