We're looking for a Lead Product Designer to own and shape the entire design experience at Alinea, from the pixels users touch every day to the systems and strategies that make future products possible.

This is not a "just ship screens" role. You'll be the design voice of the company, working directly with the founders to define what Alinea looks, feels, and behaves like — across new financial products, AI features, and surfaces we haven't built yet. And you'll do it as both a hands-on designer and a builder of design culture.

What you'll do

Own the end-to-end product design experience  from early-stage concepts through polished, shipped product used by hundreds of thousands of people.

Partner directly with the founders on product strategy, connecting user insight to business decisions before a single frame is drawn.

Build and steward a design system that lets engineers move fast without sacrificing quality - coherent, scalable, and alive.

Lead design for new financial products (including retirement accounts, crypto features, and AI-powered experiences) from 0 → 1.

Conduct and synthesize user research that sharpens the team's instincts — turning real behavior into product decisions, not just reports.

Raise the visual and interaction bar across the app: motion, hierarchy, delight, and the craft details that turn good into great.

Hire and grow a small design team as the company scales — setting standards, giving feedback, and making the people around you better.
