Work within and contribute to the design system , leveraging existing components and expanding patterns thoughtfully when new needs arise. Take ownership of ambiguous product areas, including rewards and gamification, crypto and investment experiences, and future social/community features. Partner closely with product and engineering to balance user needs, business goals, technical constraints, and product quality. What We're Looking For ~5 years of experience with a track record of independently owning complex product areas. Strong mobile product design experience, ideally across both native iOS and Android. Exceptional visual and interaction design craft , with a strong eye for polish, hierarchy, typography, and detail. Deep experience with motion and micro-interactions.

Fintech experience is preferred , but not required. Comfortable working in a startup or small-team environment where priorities can evolve quickly. Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly articulate design decisions. Contract-to-Hire Structure This role will begin as a 3 month, full time contract engagement , with the intent to convert to full-time based on mutual fit. During the contract period, you'll operate as an embedded member of the product + design teams. Location On-site in San Francisco, CA
