Staff Product Designer, T0 (Agentic) Finance

Airwallex • San Francisco, CA

7d • $200,000 - $300,000

About The Position

We're hiring a Staff Product Designer to help design the next generation of financial software: AI-native, autonomous, and radically user-centric. You’ll partner closely with engineering and product leadership to go from zero to one: from strategic concepts through to high-fidelity execution. This role is 60-40 UI to UX, and we want someone with exceptional visual/UI craft who has proven they can design thoughtful, usable workflows. You’ll shape not just the product itself, but the design culture, principles, and direction of this journey.

Requirements

• A true 0→1 designer: You’ve built products from scratch and thrive in ambiguity
• Strong on the tools: You can independently own end-to-end design work — from early visual concepts through to polished UI and developer handoff
• Technically minded: You’re energized by working with AI, automation, or complex systems — and can think through both capabilities and limitations
• Deeply collaborative: You love working side by side with engineers and product leads to figure things out
• Customer obsessed: You design with clarity and care for non-expert users, and you know how to validate and refine your ideas with real feedback
• Startup-ready: You’re comfortable moving fast, wearing many hats, and making trade-offs
• Minimum 8 years as a product designer with expertise in desktop web, mobile web, and native app experiences.

Nice To Haves

• Experience designing for AI-native, SaaS or workflow automation products
• Background in fintech, finance operations, or tools for startups

Responsibilities

• Define and drive the product design vision — from the first sketch to live product
• Invent new interaction paradigms for a world where AI agents do the work, and humans supervise and steer
• Work hand-in-hand with product and engineering to rapidly explore, prototype, and iterate
• Balance broad strategic thinking with hands-on execution in Figma, Lovable, and other vibe-coding tools
• Translate complex financial workflows into elegant, approachable experiences
• Contribute to product strategy, roadmap, and customer validation

Benefits

• A rare opportunity to be the first design hire building an entirely new product inside one of the world’s most ambitious Fintechs
• Direct impact and ownership: your design decisions will shape our product, brand, and user experience from day one
• A close-knit, fast-moving team working at the frontier of AI and global finance
• Backed by Airwallex’s scale, infrastructure, and global presence, but with the energy of an early-stage startup
