About the Role
We're hiring a Senior Product Designer to own design for a major surface area of the Opto product. You will work alongside product and engineering to define what we build and how we build it, pushing for simplicity, clarity, and high quality across every experience. You will bring design into strategy, not just execution. This role exists to close the gap between our current product and our ambition, bringing design into strategic decisions and holding the quality bar for shipped products. You will think in systems, leverage AI, and take ownership of outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Owning design for a major surface end-to-end: strategy, execution, and outcomes.
- Bringing design into strategic and product decisions from the start.
- Advocating for the design and user perspective in roadmap and prioritization.
- Shipping design from concept through to implementation details.
- Partnering with product and engineering to bring work to market with confidence.
- Contributing to design practices that scale, including patterns, components, and thinking.
- Bringing a point of view on design in an AI-native product, focusing on trust, transparency, and leverage.
- Using qualitative and quantitative signals to inform decisions.
- Pushing for simplicity and coherence across owned workflows.
- Building end-to-end experiences, not disconnected screens.
Requirements
- 0-1 product design experience, having designed a product or major feature from scratch.
- Strong product sense and a high quality bar, with the ability to articulate the 'how'.
- Senior IC ownership experience, having independently owned significant scope.
- Systems thinking ability, building scalable patterns and considering compounding design decisions.
- Focus on outcomes and measurement, integrating analytics into design.
- Comfort in ambiguity, thriving when direction is evolving and helping to shape it.
- AI-native design experience, including building AI-native products and integrating AI into workflow.
- A point of view on design's evolving role and how to adapt.
- 6+ years of relevant experience.
- Experience contributing to or reaching product-market fit.
- B2B product experience, ideally in fintech or data-heavy industries.
- Experience with research and discovery practices, using qualitative and quantitative signals.
