About this role
Great design in fintech isn’t decoration — it is the thing that makes someone trust you with their money. We are looking for a Senior Product Designer who understands that distinction and can create interfaces that are simultaneously beautiful, clear, and trustworthy.
You will be the design lead on our core product: the Axra app and web dashboard. You will own everything from initial user research to final pixel — and care deeply about what happens after you hand off the file.
What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end design of Axra’s core product — new flows and systematic improvements alike
- Conduct user research and interviews to surface real insight, not just what users say they want
- Maintain and evolve the Axra design system across mobile and web, with frontend engineering
- Create high-fidelity prototypes for testing and developer handoff
- Work with marketing on landing-page design and brand consistency
- Push back — diplomatically but clearly — when decisions compromise the user experience
What we're looking for
- 4+ years of product design at a consumer-facing tech company
- A portfolio that shows strong visual craft alongside clear UX thinking
- Deep fluency in a modern design tool — auto layout, variables, component architecture, prototyping
- Experience designing mobile-first products, ideally with complex transactional flows
- Ability to explain design decisions in terms of user behaviour and business outcome
- Comfort working in a small design team without a large support structure
Nice to have
- Prior experience designing financial products — banking, remittance, crypto, or insurance
- Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1)
- Motion design skills — we care a lot about micro-interactions
- Experience working in or designing for African markets
What we offer
- Salary: £60,000 – £78,000, reviewed every 6 months
- Equity — stock options for every employee from day one, vesting over 4 years with a 1-year cliff
- Remote-first — work from anywhere, with team members across multiple countries
- Learning budget for courses, books, and conferences every year
- Comprehensive health cover for you and your dependants
- Best-in-class equipment — MacBook Pro and any tools you need
- Flexible hours and unlimited PTO — we mean it
