Product Designer

Luma Financial Technologies • New York, NY

7d • $150,000 - $170,000

About The Position

The Product Designer will be responsible for managing the hand-off between product owners and engineering, ensuring alignment with Luma's design standards. This role involves acting as a design coach, creating and maintaining components in Storybook via GitHub, and collaborating closely with front-end engineers to ensure production quality matches prototypes. Success in this role means establishing a well-documented Storybook library and a consistent, predictable turnaround for component delivery, reducing variance and rework. The designer will also partner with engineers to refine the process of consuming prototypes and may take on user research responsibilities as the component hand-off process matures.

Requirements

• 3-5 years experience building or maintaining a design system or component library. Component creation and management within Storybook and GitHub is central to the job.
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted design/dev tools such as Claude to build and iterate on UI components that stay aligned to a defined design system (Luma's Claude Design Kit).
• Strong product design fundamentals: UX/UI judgment, and the ability to preserve design intent and fidelity when translating a design into functioning code.

Nice To Haves

• Background in financial services or fintech, ideally direct exposure to financial advisor software or wealth management platforms (structured products, annuities, life insurance, brokerage/advisory tools).
• Experience with user research methods (interviews, persona development, usability/workshop facilitation) and interest in growing that side of the role over time.

Responsibilities

• Own the hand-off between product owners' and engineering, coaching them to build in line with Luma's design standards
• Act as the primary point of accountability for component accuracy: making sure what ships to production matches the approved design by working closely with FE engineers
• Create and manage components in Storybook via GitHub, with each one aligned to Luma's Claude Design Kit
• Partner with front-end and full-stack engineers to define and continually refine a consistent, documented process for how prototypes get consumed.
• Act as a design coach and consultant across Luma's initiatives, comfortable switching and juggling multiple initiatives at once across different parts of the platform, guiding others on design best practices and advising product owners on how to get the best results from Claude prototypes.
• As the component hand-off process matures, take on user research work: persona development, usability testing, and workshops
