Product Designer

Role & responsibilities

Product Designer

Design the product experience for a derivatives trading platform - dense, real-time, high-stakes interfaces where a confusing screen costs users money. You'll own design end to end: research, flows, interface design, prototypes, and the design system, working directly with engineering and product.

What You'll Do

• Own product design end to end - from problem framing and user flows through high-fidelity interface design and handoff

• Design complex, information-dense interfaces: trading screens, order entry, positions and margin views, charting layouts, funding and settlement history

• Design onboarding and KYC flows that stay clear and compliant while minimising drop-off

• Build and maintain the design system in Figma - components, variants, tokens, and documentation - so engineering ships consistently without re-litigating spacing

• Design responsive web and native mobile experiences (iOS and Android), respecting platform conventions

• Create interactive prototypes to test flows before they reach engineering

• Run lightweight user research and usability testing; turn findings into concrete design changes

• Partner with frontend engineers on implementation quality, states, motion, and edge cases - empty, loading, error, partial-fill, liquidation

• Contribute to product thinking, not just execution - push back on requirements when the flow doesn't hold up

• Uphold accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA as the baseline) and design for dark mode as a first-class theme

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of product design experience with a portfolio of shipped digital products (portfolio required)

• Expert-level Figma: auto layout, variables, components and variants, prototyping, and multi-contributor file hygiene

• Demonstrated ability to design data-dense, complex interfaces - not just marketing pages or simple CRUD apps

• Strong grasp of interaction design, visual hierarchy, typography, and layout systems

• Experience building or substantially maintaining a design system

• Comfortable designing for both web and mobile

• Able to work from ambiguous problem statements and drive clarity independently.

• Strong communication - can explain and defend design decisions to engineers and stakeholders

• Working understanding of frontend constraints - you know what's cheap to build and what isn't

Preferred candidate profile

Nice to Have

• Experience designing for fintech, trading, brokerage, banking, or crypto products

• Familiarity with trading concepts and charting conventions (TradingView, candlesticks, order books, depth charts)

• Motion design and micro-interaction work (Figma prototyping, Rive, Lottie, or After Effects)

• Experience with user research programmes and analytics-informed design

• Basic HTML/CSS literacy, or experience contributing tokens directly to a codebase

• Brand and visual identity work
