About The Position

Nitrogen is hiring a Senior Product Designer to help shape AI-native financial advice. The designer will own meaningful parts of the product from discovery through implementation, working closely with a product manager and engineering lead in structured six-week development cycles. The role focuses on making complex financial information clear and persuasive, designing trustworthy experiences for Nucleus™, Nitrogen’s AI engine, and creating connected patterns across its suite of advisor products. The designer will work on experiences that communicate AI actions, progress, uncertainty, and errors while keeping advisors in control. They will also translate topics such as investment risk, portfolio analysis, and insurance coverage into understandable visual experiences. Prototyping with AI tools is a core part of the design process, alongside maintaining reusable design components, patterns, and documentation and collaborating with engineering to ensure high-quality implementation. This is a fully remote role open to applicants across US time zones. The team’s core collaboration hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Time, and reliable availability during that window is expected. Outside those hours, designers have flexibility to manage focused work time. The expected compensation range is $130,000–$140,000 plus an annual bonus target. Compensation may vary based on experience.
