Requirements

• Have 5–8+ years of experience in UX design, including enterprise software or internal tooling
• Possess strong UX fundamentals and a track record of using research (formal or scrappy) to inform design decisions
• Have a sharp eye for visual design: layout, typography, hierarchy, and attention to detail matter here
• Be confident working closely with engineers and PMs—especially in environments where user-centered thinking needs strong advocacy
• Have an exceptional portfolio that shows how you solve problems...not just how things look when they ship
• Treat clarity and simplicity as a form of respect for users
• Be comfortable advocating the case for user-centered design and finding shared ground in environments where technology is the native language
• Care deeply about craft and sweat the details others overlook
• Understand how to balance business requirements while advocating for user needs

Responsibilities

• Be embedded in our finance and operations engineering squads, working on internal tools that power critical business workflows
• Raise the bar across the board: simplifying complex systems, clarifying dense data, and delivering experiences that feel well-considered, elegant, and purposeful
• Help shape the UX practice by advocating for users, developing internal processes that make design a co-equal partner with product and engineering, upholding quality in environments that default to speed, and bringing visual clarity to systems where precision and trust really matter

Preferred Qualifications

• Have experience working independently or on a small in-house design team to stand up a new design function and design-focused culture
• Have familiarity with finance, data-heavy interfaces, or business operations
