About The Position

BasicBlock is seeking a hands-on Lead Product Designer to own the design of our digital products and customer experiences. This individual will be the primary designer, working directly with product managers, engineers, company leadership, and customers to transform complex ideas into intuitive, polished experiences. This is an individual-contributor role for someone who enjoys the entire design process, from problem understanding and user flow mapping to building high-fidelity mockups and refining the final product with engineers. The role offers significant influence over product aesthetics and evolution, requiring comfort with independent operation, managing multiple priorities, and bringing clarity to projects with potentially limited initial direction.

A strong portfolio demonstrating thoughtful product design across web and mobile experiences.
Advanced proficiency with Figma or comparable interface design and prototyping tools.
Experience taking products or features through the complete design process, from early concepts to production.
Strong understanding of interaction design, visual hierarchy, responsive design, and usability principles.
Ability to work independently, clearly explain design decisions, and move projects forward with limited direction.
Must be able to reliably commute to our Lincoln, Nebraska office.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end design process for our web and mobile products.
Translate business requirements and customer needs into user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and polished user interfaces.
Design intuitive experiences for complex financial and transportation workflows.
Create responsive, mobile-first designs across multiple screen sizes and platforms.
Develop and maintain a cohesive design system and reusable component library.
Collaborate closely with product managers and engineers from initial concept through implementation.
Support additional design needs across the company, including landing pages, sales materials, internal tools, presentations, and other projects as needed.
