Job Description
A rapidly growing fintech startup transforming how businesses manage their financial operations is looking for a Founding Product Designer to help define the future of its AI-powered financial platform. Serving a massive and underserved market, the company is building an integrated operating system that combines lending, payments, and intelligent financial automation into a single platform. By leveraging artificial intelligence to simplify traditionally manual financial workflows, the company is helping thousands of businesses operate more efficiently while making better financial decisions. Backed by experienced operators and an ambitious product vision, the company is positioned to redefine how modern businesses interact with their finances.
In this role, you'll own the design of core product experiences across an AI-first platform, partnering directly with Product, Engineering, and Leadership to solve highly complex user problems. You'll be responsible for designing experiences that make sophisticated financial data feel intuitive, approachable, and actionable while helping users confidently interact with AI-driven workflows. Rather than simply creating polished interfaces, you'll help shape product strategy, influence how AI and human collaboration work together, and design systems that continuously improve through customer interaction and feedback.
This is a rare opportunity to become one of the earliest design hires at a high-growth technology company where design has a direct influence on product direction and business success. You'll work closely with company leadership, own major product initiatives from concept through launch, and help establish the design principles that will shape the platform as it scales. If you're passionate about simplifying complex systems, excited by AI-native products, and motivated by building products from the ground up, this role offers tremendous ownership and long-term career growth.
