About The Position

Numeric is hiring a Product Designer for its Experience Team, which owns the quality, coherence, and UI/UX differentiation of the product. The team works across product design, design systems, code-based prototyping, and front-end implementation to make complex, data-heavy product surfaces feel clear, dense, elegant, and trustworthy. The role involves shaping complex workflows in Numeric’s financial operating system, often beginning before requirements are fully defined and continuing through implementation. The designer will work closely with engineers and product managers, use the product directly, reason through edge cases, prototype quickly, and help turn ambiguous workflows into shippable product. The work includes moving between product reasoning, rough prototypes, polished interaction design, and implementation details, and may involve shipping work directly. Numeric describes its working style as fast, direct, and closely connected to engineering. The team prototypes early and often, using code, Claude Code, Linear, Figma, and the product itself as design artifacts. Designers are expected to stay close to implementation, proactively seek feedback, and balance speed with quality. The Experience Team currently has three product designers and one front-end engineer. Numeric is hybrid but in-office first, with teams in New York, San Francisco, and London. The compensation range is $170,000–$200,000.

Requirements

At least 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.
Ability to work independently with limited ceremony and proactively seek feedback.
Experience partnering closely with engineers and product managers through implementation.
Comfort prototyping quickly and choosing appropriate tools for the problem.
Experience or strong interest in code-based design workflows using Claude Code or similar tools.
Ability to communicate a plan visually in low fidelity and create high-fidelity references when needed.
Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain why a design should work.
Low ego and high agency, with the ability to take ownership of messy or ambiguous problems.

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 living code and product systems, not just Figma libraries.
Experience at an early-stage company where designers operated with high ownership and low process.

Responsibilities

Own product design for complex workflows in Numeric’s financial operating system, from early exploration through implementation.
Work with engineers and product managers to clarify ambiguous problems and turn them into buildable interaction models.
Create prototypes, reference screens, interaction specifications, and implementation notes using the artifacts best suited to move the work forward.
Build or direct code-based prototypes where useful, including with tools such as Claude Code.
Partner with engineers during implementation to refine behavior, states, edge cases, information density, polish, and product quality.
Identify and resolve rough edges across the product before they become product debt.
Contribute to user story-led work, high-fidelity refinements, and alignment between prototypes, 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 the 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 remaining pragmatic about what needs to ship.
