About the Role
Wayflyer moves fast, and the product has to keep up. We're building financial tools that businesses actually rely on - complex workflows, dense data, high stakes - and we need a designer who can make all of that feel effortless. That's a hard problem. It's also a genuinely exciting one.
- We're hiring at Senior+ or Staff level depending on where you are, what you've built, and how far your influence reaches.
- Remote in Europe.
What You'll Be Doing
- Own complex product problems from discovery through delivery, helping define what we build, why it matters, and how success is measured.
- Design end-to-end journeys, workflows, interaction models, and high-fidelity experiences across web and mobile products.
- Prototype concepts early and often to explore ideas, align stakeholders, and accelerate learning.
- Translate complex financial concepts, workflows, and data into intuitive and scalable user experiences.
- Contribute to and evolve our Design Systems, balancing consistency with thoughtful innovation.
- Collaborate closely with engineers throughout implementation to ensure quality and thoughtful execution.
- Challenge assumptions and help shape product decisions with a long-term platform mindset.
- Participate in design critiques and contribute to a culture of feedback, learning, and continuous improvement.
- For Staff-level candidates, help elevate design quality across teams through influence, mentorship, and strategic design leadership.
