About The Position

The Global FICC Technology group aims to drive business growth for our partners in the Front-Office, Operations and beyond. We do this with a mandate of delivering innovative new products, expanding our trading tool capabilities and modernizing critical platforms. Atomic Innovation is transforming the application landscape across TD Securities. We are a multidisciplinary team of product designers, engineers, and technology professionals building modern products for some of the bank’s most sophisticated business areas. Our portfolio spans Metals, Energy, Foreign Exchange, FX Options, Fixed Income, and Operations, along with the shared FICC Unified Desktop platform that brings these experiences together. We work directly with Front-Office Sales & Trading users, Operations teams, and subject-matter experts to understand complex workflows and turn them into products that are simpler, faster, and more intuitive. We value thoughtful product decisions, strong engineering, polished user experiences, and practical solutions that create meaningful value for our users. Atomic is looking for a Technical Product Designer who enjoys making complicated things feel simple. This is an end-to-end product design role with meaningful ownership across one or more Atomic product areas. You will work directly with users, product partners, and engineers to uncover problems, shape product direction, design and validate solutions, support implementation, and improve the experience after launch. You will also contribute to the shared patterns and evolving design system used across the Atomic portfolio. You do not need to begin the role as a capital markets expert or a production software developer. You should, however, be curious about how sophisticated financial workflows operate, comfortable learning complex domains, and interested in partnering closely with technical teams.

Responsibilities

Understand the Problem: Work directly with Front-Office Sales & Trading users, Operations users, and subject-matter experts to understand complex workflows, goals, and pain points. Lead discovery conversations that turn ambiguous requests into clearly defined user problems, requirements, and product opportunities. Challenge assumptions and identify ways to make existing workflows simpler, faster, safer, and more intuitive.
Design the Product Experience: Translate user needs into clear workflows, prototypes, and polished high-fidelity designs in Figma. Design complete experiences that account for interaction details, information density, validation, permissions, error states, and operational exceptions. Iterate with users, engineers, and product stakeholders while contributing reusable patterns that improve consistency across the Atomic portfolio.
Partner Through Delivery: Turn designs into clear, engineering-ready requirements and collaborate closely with developers throughout implementation. Review delivered features to ensure the intended workflow and experience are maintained while adapting pragmatically to technical constraints. Gather feedback after launch and use what you learn to improve both the product and Atomic’s broader design practices.
Inspire a positive work environment and help champion quality, innovation, teamwork and service to the business.
Learn voraciously, stretch your thinking, share your knowledge and educate others.
Communicate and collaborate with both technical and non-technical professionals.
Cultivate winning relationships by building trust with business and technology partners.
Share our commitment to productivity, effectiveness and operational efficiency.
