Product Designer, Experience

Numeric•New York, NY

4d•$170,000 - $200,000

About The Position

Numeric is building the modern platform for accounting and finance, tackling foundational challenges across data ingest, transformation, matching, projection, reporting, and workflow. We combine data infrastructure, automation, and careful product design to help accounting teams move away from manual work and toward a continuous view of a company’s financial activity. We have strong product-market fit and a growing base of customers. We are hiring a Product Designer to join our Experience Team, which owns the quality, coherence, and UI/UX differentiation of Numeric’s product surface area. The team works across product design, design systems, code-based prototyping, and front-end implementation. We are building complex, data-heavy, highly technical product surfaces, and the work often starts before every requirement is clear and continues through implementation. Designers will partner closely with engineers and PMs, prototype quickly, use the product directly, reason through edge cases, and help turn ambiguous workflows into shippable product. The ideal candidate can work independently, seek feedback proactively, and move between rough prototypes, product reasoning, polished interaction design, and implementation details without a lot of ceremony. They should be someone who runs toward hard problems.

Requirements

5+ years of product design experience, ideally in a startup or high-ownership product environment.
Strong visual, interaction, and product craft.
Experience designing complex, technical, data-heavy, or workflow-heavy products.
Ability to reason through edge cases, states, density, hierarchy, and product behavior.
Comfort working independently with limited ceremony and proactively pulling in feedback.
Experience partnering closely with engineers and PMs through implementation.
Comfort prototyping quickly and using whatever tool is right for the problem.
Experience or strong interest in code-based design workflows using tools like Claude Code, or similar.
Ability to visually communicate a plan in low fidelity and create high-fidelity references when the work requires it.
Strong written and verbal communication. You should be able to explain not just what you designed, but why it should work.
Low ego and high agency. You can own a messy problem without needing it to be perfectly scoped.

Nice To Haves

Experience designing financial, accounting, data, developer, AI, or enterprise workflow products.
Experience designing interfaces for tables, records, logs, approvals, review queues, automation, or data transformation.
Ability to build lightweight prototypes in React / TypeScript or modify existing front-end code.
Experience working with design systems as a living code/product system, not just a Figma library.
Experience at an early-stage company where designers had to operate with high ownership and low process.

Responsibilities

Own product design for complex workflows in our financial operating system, from early exploration through implementation.
Work closely with engineers and PMs to clarify ambiguous product problems and turn them into buildable interaction models.
Create prototypes, reference screens, interaction specs, and implementation notes as needed — using whatever artifact best moves the work forward.
Build or direct code-based prototypes where useful, including with tools like Claude Code.
Partner with engineers during build to refine behavior, states, edge cases, density, polish, and product quality.
Help identify and resolve rough edges across the product before they harden into product debt.
Contribute to user story-led work, higher-fidelity refinements, and the reconciliation between prototype, production, and final product quality.
Help define reusable patterns for review surfaces, object inspectors, inbox tasks, tables, panels, workflows, and AI-enabled product interactions.
Work with our design-system lead on component adoption and with engineering on prototype-to-production details.
Bring a strong point of view on craft, usability, and product clarity while staying pragmatic about what needs to ship now.
