apron - Senior Product Designer, Core Payments Experience

• WHAT YOU'LL OWN • End-to-end design of our core payments product, from ambiguous problem framing through to shipped, polished experiences • Interfaces for genuinely complex financial workflows that are both functional and delightful • A point of view on how the product should work as a system, brought proactively to product and engineering, not just executed on request • The design system as it applies to payments: consistency and scalability across a fast-growing surface area • Raising the bar across the design team through feedback, critique, and documented judgment • A close partnership with our UX researcher, turning user insight into decisions • Deep product design experience in complex domains where understanding the 'why' behind a decision matters as much as the decision itself. • Systems thinking; you design coordinated solutions that hold up across multiple touchpoints • Comfortable making calls on ambiguous, high-abstraction problems without someone drawing the boundaries for you • Evidence you've influenced product direction, not just shipped what was asked. We'll ask you to walk us through the why behind a decision, not just the outcome • A natural collaborator who co-leads with PMs and engineers rather than waiting for a brief • Someone who makes things look good, fast. We need speed of execution alongside strategic thinking. • We value drive, intelligence, and current ability over pedigree. We care most about how you think and work right now. Our aim is to get an offer out within 2-3 weeks of a first conversation. • 1. Interview with our Recruiting team • 2. Home task, followed by a discussion with our product team. The task is built from a real problem we're actively working through, time-boxed to a few hours; we're grading your reasoning, not whether you land where we did • 3. Team interview • 4. Final chat with our Founder
