Principal Product Designer
Figure is seeking a Principal Product Designer to lead the design of its financial products, focusing primarily on Figure Markets and extending across the broader lending ecosystem. This senior individual contributor role is ideal for a designer adept at navigating complex and ambiguous problem spaces, working on products that encompass investing, lending, borrowing, digital assets, capital markets, and emerging financial infrastructure. The role involves close collaboration with Product, Engineering, and business leaders to transform intricate financial concepts, technical constraints, regulatory requirements, and evolving customer needs into clear, intuitive, and trustworthy user experiences.
In this position, the Principal Product Designer will lead design initiatives for complex projects across Figure Markets, while also contributing to shared challenges and experiences across Figure Lending and other products. Responsibilities include translating ambiguous or incomplete product requirements into coherent end-to-end experiences, developing a deep understanding of financial concepts and customer workflows to simplify complex products, and partnering closely with Product and Engineering teams from early problem definition through implementation. The role also entails designing sophisticated workflows, data-dense interfaces, and other interaction models common to financial products, anticipating error states, lifecycle changes, permissions, regulatory constraints, system behavior, and downstream consequences of design decisions.
Candidates should have over 8 years of product design experience, including significant experience owning complex products or major product areas. A portfolio demonstrating strong product thinking, interaction design, and visual craft across real, shipped experiences is essential. The ideal candidate will have a track record of solving complicated problems where requirements, customer needs, or the underlying product model were not fully defined at the outset, strong systems thinking, excellent interaction design skills, and the ability to independently drive work from early problem framing through detailed design and implementation. Comfort working closely with engineers and understanding enough about technical systems to make pragmatic design decisions is also important.
While specific compensation details are not provided, Figure offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k) plan, and paid time off. The company is recognized as a leader in real-world asset tokenization and has received triple-A ratings from S&P and Moody’s on multiple loan securitizations, the first of its kind for blockchain finance. Figure has also been recognized as one of Forbes’ Top 50 Fintech Companies and CNBC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies.
Joining Figure offers the opportunity to be part of a pioneering company at the forefront of blockchain technology in the financial sector. The role provides a chance to work on innovative products that are reshaping the financial landscape, offering significant growth opportunities and the ability to make a substantial impact in the industry.
