Senior Product Designer - 3 month 1099 contract

Remitly•Seattle, WA

1d•$100 - $120•Hybrid

About The Position

Remitly's Receivers team is a startup within Remitly, focused on building the experience for 30 million new customers in emerging markets who will first encounter Remitly as recipients. The team operates at startup pace with minimal red tape and high individual responsibility. The role involves partnering with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and other Designers to transform ambiguous problems into shipped, validated, and customer-loved experiences. This includes rapid prototyping with AI tools, detailed Figma work, conducting concept testing and customer interviews, and bringing a strong point of view to design decisions. This is a 3-month contract position, 40 hours per week, with a preference for a Seattle-based hire on a hybrid schedule, though remote candidates may be considered with some travel expected.

Requirements

7+ years of product design experience, including time in fast-moving, low-process environments where you owned outcomes from problem framing through ship.
A strong portfolio showing shipped, customer-facing work with clear before/after, your specific contribution, and high attention to interaction and visual craft.
A clear AI-leveraging workflow you can demonstrate — concrete examples of rapid prototyping with tools like Claude Code/Cowork or Google Stitch, and of using Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT for research, synthesis, and analysis.
Expert-level Figma skills and fluency designing and prototyping complex workflows.
Experience executing within an existing design system and a localization process.
Experience conducting concept testing and customer interviews independently.
Strong written and verbal communication; comfort with high autonomy and high responsibility.
A track record of designing both product UX and product marketing assets, or a clear ability to flex across both.

Nice To Haves

Multilingual ability — Spanish or other languages — to support customer interviews abroad.
Experience designing for emerging markets, global audiences, or first-time digital users.
Background in fintech, payments, or other consumer financial products.
Prior contract or agency experience designing for consumer mobile and web.
Experience designing accessibility-conscious and compliance-aware consumer experiences.

Responsibilities

Own design end-to-end across both product UX (flows, wireframes, prototypes, full-fidelity UI) and product marketing assets for the Receivers experience.
Use AI tools fluently — Claude Code, Google Stitch, or similar for rapid prototyping; Claude (Cowork or Code), Gemini, or ChatGPT for rapid research, content generation, and analysis — to compress the path from problem to validated direction.
Translate AI-driven prototypes into polished Figma work that respects our existing design system and localization processes.
Make sense of ambiguous, complex problems and shape them into clear design directions without waiting for the brief to be perfect.
Conduct concept testing and customer interviews to validate direction; synthesize qualitative and quantitative signal to inform decisions.
Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and other Designers — communicating progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly.
Bring a strong point of view to design and product conversations, and push back when you believe a decision will let customers down.
Document decisions and hand off cleanly so the team can pick up and maintain the work after the engagement ends.
