About the role
We are looking for a Senior Product Designer with 5+ years of experience who thrives in ambiguity, ships fast, and is comfortable working directly in code bases alongside Figma. You'll own design end-to-end for core product areas at Loancrate — an AI-native Loan Origination System that is reimagining mortgage software for the first time in 20 years. This is a high-ownership role on a small, elite design team disrupting one of the sleepiest industries in financial services.
What will you be doing?
- Own entire feature areas end-to-end — from discovery and Figma design through prototyping in local dev environments, with designs moving from Figma to code the same day
- Design complex, data-dense UIs and multi-step automation workflows for AI-native mortgage tooling — including agentic flows, streaming content, and probabilistic outputs
- Collaborate with internal subject matter experts and client-side users to gather requirements and validate concepts through rapid iteration
- Contribute to the migration to a new component system (ShadCN) and maintain scalable design system assets
- Participate in weekly design critiques and partner closely with engineering and product to ship features with real user impact
Key Requirements
- Startup or small-team experience shipping real products — pure Big Tech or pure agency backgrounds will not be considered
- Actively works in or alongside code (vibe coding, opening PRs, prototyping in local dev environments) — not just Figma-to-handoff
- Portfolio with detailed, real case studies showing complex SaaS workflows, data-dense UIs, and clear problem-to-outcome storytelling
- Deep Figma proficiency (components, variants, auto-layout, prototyping) with a bias toward shipping fast over pixel-perfection
- Must be based in the United States with ability to travel domestically to client sites; no visa sponsorship available
