About the RoleThis is a rare opportunity to be the
first product designer at a seed-stage, AI-native fintech company building the future of global business identity and compliance (KYB - Know Your Business). You'll work directly alongside co-founders and engineers to shape design from the ground up - establishing culture, process, and a product experience that makes complex regulatory workflows feel effortless.
This is a true
zero-to-one, end-to-end ownership role. If you're energized by ambiguity, thrive in fast-moving environments, and want your design decisions to have immediate, visible impact, this role is for you.
Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.What You'll Do- Drive the full design lifecycle - from ideation through implementation - across the platform, with an initial focus on data information architecture.
- Partner closely with product, engineering, and founders to define intuitive, agentic experiences for complex regulatory and compliance problems.
- Define and develop the company's design language and design system, building a scalable component library from scratch.
- Help shape how design functions as a discipline: establishing processes, tooling, values, and a design-driven culture.
- Collaborate directly with customers to validate and iterate on experiences that reduce friction in business onboarding and verification.
What We're Looking ForRequired:- 5+ years of product design experience (dealbreaker).
- Demonstrated experience designing for B2B SaaS products.
- Experience designing for regulatory, compliance, or highly technical domains - translating complex processes into intuitive user experiences.
- Portfolio with case studies showing end-to-end product design and measurable impact (required for consideration).
- Proficiency in Figma or equivalent design tools (e.g., Sketch, InVision) for rapid prototyping and design handoffs.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills - comfortable working closely with engineers, founders, and customers.
- Bachelor's degree in Design or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Have:- Experience contributing to or owning design systems and component libraries.
- Experience designing AI-enabled product features and integrating AI agents into user flows.
- Prior startup or early-stage experience, or demonstrated comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguity-filled environments.
Compensation & Benefits- Salary: $180,000 - $220,000 USD annually
- Early-stage equity opportunity as a founding team member
- High-impact, high-ownership role with direct access to leadership
