Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end design for assigned initiatives — from problem framing and research through prototyping, validation, and implementation partnership
- Conduct and synthesize research through user interviews, usability testing, and data analysis to validate design decisions and inform product strategy
- Shape solutions in partnership with product managers — helping define problems, outline approaches, and establish success criteria when requirements are still forming
- Create user flows, diagrams, Figma designs, and coded prototypes that communicate direction clearly to stakeholders and engineering
- Navigate and collaborate in shared code repositories — reading existing prototypes, iterating in an IDE with AI assistance, and partnering with engineers during implementation
- Partner with engineering to protect design integrity while balancing technical constraints
- Contribute to design critiques and help elevate quality across the team
- Champion user-centered design in a regulated product — where trust, auditability, and operational clarity matter as much as polish
Skills
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- 3–5 years of product design experience, ideally on complex or regulated products (fintech, healthcare, enterprise B2B, insurance, or similar)
- Portfolio demonstrating systems thinking, research-to-shipping discipline, and attention to interaction and visual detail
- Track record of delivering product work with measurable impact — even when the path from research to production isn't linear
- Proficiency in Figma and modern prototyping approaches
- Hands-on experience building or iterating on designs in an IDE or code-based environment (e.g., Cursor, VS Code with AI assistants, Claude Code) — not only watching engineers prototype
- Comfort reading and navigating coded prototypes and collaborating in repos with engineering and product partners
- Strong analytical skills; comfortable using qualitative and quantitative inputs to inform decisions
- Excellent communication skills and a track record of productive cross-functional partnership
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and making progress with incomplete information
- Have experience with agentic or multi-step AI workflows in design or product exploration
- Are familiar with design-system-to-code pipelines (Figma → production components)
- Have a background designing internal tools, ops platforms, or data-heavy workbench experiences
- Have exposure to AI-assisted product features (copilots, intelligent document review, workflow automation)
