About The Position

As a Staff Designer on Link, you'll lead the visual design direction for some of Link's newest and most ambitious bets. You'll define what a product looks and feels, bring visual conviction to early-stage concepts, and shape Link's expanding consumer presence across Stripe’s checkout, with our AI partners, and in Link’s own app. This is a role for someone who does their best work when the problem is undefined and the canvas is blank.

Requirements

• 8+ years of product design experience with a strong visual and mobile design foundation
• Portfolio with clear 0-1 work and products you took from concept to launch where you defined the visual language
• Demonstrated ability to create cohesive, distinctive visual systems for new products from scratch
• Deep fluency across visual design, interaction design, and prototyping
• Experience working in high-ambiguity environments where you framed the problem before solving it

Nice To Haves

• Ability to design and prototype in code
• Strong independence and an ability to advocate for a larger design vision with cross-functional stakeholders
• Ability to reduce complex problems down to the right balance of flexibility, power, and ease of use
• Skilled in explaining your work, process, and decisions to cross-functional stakeholders and crave feedback to help you produce your best work

Responsibilities

• Define the visual design direction for net-new Link products and surfaces from the ground up across mobile and web
• Lead design exploration on early-stage, pre-roadmap opportunities from initial concept through launch
• Build new visual languages, component patterns, and design systems for products that don't exist yet
• Partner with brand designers to extend and evolve Link's visual identity into new product categories
• Shape early product strategy through design exploration and rapid prototyping, making abstract opportunities tangible for product and engineering partners
• Represent Link's design vision in senior reviews and establish the creative bar for new product areas
