Staff Product Designer

fomo Labs • New York City, NY

9d • Onsite

About The Position

fomo is growing from one product into three: spot trading, tokenized equities, and perps. The Staff Product Designer will help make these offerings feel like one fast, intuitive, unmistakably fomo experience. This hands-on individual contributor will own the design of an entire product line end to end, from deciding what to build through the details of what ships. The role will set design direction alongside the founders, product, and engineering, and shape the systems, patterns, and standards used across every product surface. The designer will work in Figma and prototypes day to day and partner closely with frontend engineers. This is an in-person role in New York City, with the team working from a spacious office in SoHo.

The designer will own a product line across mobile and web, establish direction for product development, maintain coherence across spot, tokenized equities, and perps, and lead the architecture of the fomo design system. They will prototype high-fidelity interactions and flows, collaborate with frontend engineering through implementation, raise the team's craft bar, and help build and mentor the design team. They will also advance the team's use of AI and new tools to design and ship faster.

Requirements

• At least 8 years of product design experience, including experience operating at staff or lead level, or as an early designer owning a product from 0 to 1.
• A portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft and strategic impact, including products shaped and the outcomes they drove.
• Experience setting direction for a whole product or platform and building or evolving a design system adopted by others.
• Track record of influencing founders, product leaders, and engineering leaders without formal authority.
• Strong prototyping skills and comfort iterating and shipping with AI and new tools.

• Set design direction with founders and engineering, turning ambiguous ideas into a clear point of view on what to build, why, and in what order.

• Lead the architecture of the fomo design system, including core patterns for trading, real-time data, charts, and social, and the standards used by the team.
• Prototype quickly and at high fidelity to test interactions and flows before committing to them.
• Partner with frontend engineers through implementation to ensure the product details are right.
• Raise the team's craft bar through critique, clear design principles, and personal example.
