We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact accelerated learning and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment dig deep with curiosity and make decisions from first principles balancing speed and rigor.

You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here you’ll tackle complex high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you let’s build what’s next.

The Role
We're hiring a Staff Product Designer to help design the next generation of financial software: AI-native autonomous and radically user-centric. You’ll partner closely with engineering and product leadership to go from zero to one: from strategic concepts through to high-fidelity execution.

This role is 60-40 UI to UX and we want someone with exceptional visual/UI craft who has proven they can design thoughtful usable workflows.

You’ll shape not just the product itself but the design culture principles and direction of this journey.

What You’ll Do

• Define and drive the product design vision — from the first sketch to live product

• Invent new interaction paradigms for a world where AI agents do the work and humans supervise and steer

• Work hand-in-hand with product and engineering to rapidly explore prototype and iterate

• Balance broad strategic thinking with hands-on execution in Figma Lovable and other vibe-coding tools

• Translate complex financial workflows into elegant approachable experiences

• Contribute to product strategy roadmap and customer validation
  

Who You Are

• A true 0→1 designer: You’ve built products from scratch and thrive in ambiguity

• Strong on the tools: You can independently own end-to-end design work — from early visual concepts through to polished UI and developer handoff

• Technically minded: You’re energized by working with AI automation or complex systems — and can think through both capabilities and limitations

• Deeply collaborative: You love working side by side with engineers and product leads to figure things out

• Customer obsessed: You design with clarity and care for non-expert users and you know how to validate and refine your ideas with real feedback

• Startup-ready: You’re comfortable moving fast wearing many hats and making trade-offs

• Experience: Minimum 8 years as a product designer with expertise in desktop web mobile web and native app experiences.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing for AI-native SaaS or workflow automation products

• Background in fintech finance operations or tools for startups
  

Why Join Us

• A rare opportunity to be the first design hire building an entirely new product inside one of the world’s most ambitious Fintechs

• Direct impact and ownership: your design decisions will shape our product brand and user experience from day one

• A close-knit fast-moving team working at the frontier of AI and global finance

• Backed by Airwallex’s scale infrastructure and global presence but with the energy of an early-stage startup
