Job details
About this role
Role overview A hands-on principal design role on a Banking team, focused on the products where customers actually keep and move their money, including cards, deposits, savings, borrowing, and family-oriented accounts. The position blends zero-to-one product exploration with raising craft on already-shipped experiences, working within the unusual constraints of regulated financial software where clarity, trust, and warmth must coexist. It pairs deep individual contribution with cross-functional leadership across Product, Engineering, Risk, Compliance, and Research.
Responsibilities - Own complex, ambiguous initiatives end to end, from early exploration through shipped product - Drive zero-to-one product experiences that are strategically grounded and visually distinctive - Set and defend the quality bar for Banking design, demonstrating excellence in personal output - Partner with Product, Engineering, Risk, Compliance, and Research to translate financial and regulatory logic into experiences people immediately grasp - Prototype early and often using AI and emerging tools to shorten the path from idea to working software - Shape long-term product vision and design strategy across surfaces, and influence what makes the roadmap - Contribute to and extend shared design systems and patterns to strengthen cohesion across products - Elevate peer designers through critique, feedback, and modeled craft
Requirements - 10+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio showing exceptional craft and systems thinking - A track record of shipping zero-to-one products, not only iterating on existing ones - Mastery of interaction, visual, and systems design, with judgment to know which a problem actually needs - Experience designing in complex, high-stakes domains where clarity and trust are non-negotiable, such as fintech, banking, health, or another regulated space - Proven ability to operate autonomously through ambiguity, setting direction and bringing partners along - Fluency with AI and prototyping tools, with a real point of view on how they change design practice - Strong influence and communication skills as a peer to cross-functional leadership - A hands-on posture where your own design work sets the standard
Benefits and work setup - Remote-friendly with distributed team support across the countries where the organization operates - Medical insurance, flexible time off, retirement savings plans, and modern family planning benefits - Market-based pay, with U.S. pay ranges published by geographic zone
