Summary

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer with exceptional design skills, systemic product thinking, and the capacity to hold technical discussions. We are an incredibly small team of senior tech folks where engineers, designers and founders work together with our capital advisors to explore ideas, build prototypes, deploy internal builds, and ultimately ship to the team. You will be a critical player in projects from beginning to end.

Key Focus Areas

• Own projects end to end alongside engineering, from problem definition through design, build, QA, and iteration. No hand-offs, no throwing designs over a wall.
• Design systems, not just screens. Architecture, component reuse, and how individual features compose into a coherent product.
• Collect and synthesize feedback from our debt advisors to inform priorities and validate what we've shipped.
• Shape how AI surfaces for users. We're building AI-powered lender matching, deal analysis, and outbound intelligence, and the design of those experiences is wide open.

Why This Role

• Work on a senior team with deep experience (Twitter, Dropbox, Medium, Mailchimp, Axios) without politics or ego
• Everything you ship matters. Your primary users are a team of internal team of advisors who see the impact of your work immediately.
• Maker's schedule with low-process, high-trust, and near-zero meetings.
• Fully remote, async-first culture

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of Product Design experience
• 5+ years of experience working cross functionally with software engineers
• Deep experience taking features from problem statement to shipped product
• Expertise in creating and maintaining and designing systems, libraries, and other tools
• Experience creating complex prototypes using Figma, Framer, Claude, code, or other tools
• Effective written communication. We're 90% async, clear writing matters

Preferred Qualifications

• Early stage start up experience where you've owned outcomes
• Experience in fintech, proptech, or platforms with complex data and workflows.
• Experience building with AI for prototypes, synthesis, recommendations, matching, generation, etc.
• Comfort with ambiguity and an ability to create structure where none exists without over-engineering
