Senior Product Designer

Nitrogen builds AI-powered financial technology products for financial advisors. The Senior Product Designer shapes and ships advisor-facing features, designs trustworthy AI interactions and clear financial-data visuals, and builds reusable design systems in close collaboration with product and engineering.

Responsibilities:

• Work with your PM and engineering lead to shape new features, from a rough idea to a plan we can commit to. We work in structured, six-week development cycles, so a big part of the job is asking good questions early, exploring tradeoffs, and figuring out what's worth building
• Design how Nucleus works when it takes action for advisors: how it communicates progress, handles uncertainty or mistakes, and knows when to bring a person back into the loop
• Take complicated topics like investment risk, portfolio analysis, and insurance coverage, and turn them into visuals that make the numbers click, from how much a portfolio could swing in a bad year to whether a family's coverage is actually on track
• Build and maintain reusable design components, patterns, and documentation that keep our products consistent and give engineers and AI tools a reliable foundation to build from
• Prototype early and often. AI-powered prototyping is a core part of how we work, especially early on. You'll turn ideas into working experiences quickly, explore multiple approaches, and learn before committing to a direction. We use Figma, v0, Claude, and Devin every day
• Work closely with engineering through implementation, reviewing what's built and refining the details so what ships meets our high quality bar
• Share what you learn, improve how we work, and create reusable AI workflows that help all of us move faster without sacrificing quality

Requirements:

• Exceptional visual product design skills
• Your portfolio shows a strong eye for layout, typography, visual hierarchy, and the details that make an experience feel finished
• A track record of shipping
• You've designed and shipped software people rely on, can explain the decisions behind them, and have results or lessons learned to show for it
• Demonstrated AI proficiency
• AI tools are already part of how you work
• You use them to explore ideas, accelerate your process, and build working prototypes, not just generate static mockups
• You can show us what you've built and explain how AI has changed the way you design
• An understanding of agentic design
• You think about what makes AI experiences understandable and trustworthy, including how to communicate what the AI is doing, handle uncertainty and errors, and keep people in control
• Experience working with design systems
• You're comfortable designing within established patterns, contributing new components when needed, and thinking about how systems scale across products and the people and tools building them
• Strong sense of ownership
• You've owned big pieces of a product, and you work well with PMs and engineers without needing much oversight
• Curiosity and a bias toward learning
• You can get your head around an unfamiliar domain quickly, identify what you need to learn, and use research, experimentation, and real feedback to guide your next move
• Conviction and humility
• You're willing to ask hard questions, experiment, and advocate for what you believe is right
• You're just as willing to listen, take feedback, and change your mind when you learn something new
• You don't need an extensive background in wealth management to be a great fit
• What matters more is your curiosity, your ability to make complex ideas clear, high standards for your own work, and your drive to make a real impact
• Experience designing and shipping AI-powered products, particularly agentic workflows or other experiences where AI takes action on behalf of users
• Experience with investing, finance, or insurance products
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and React, and/or comfort using front-end AI tools to polish an experience before it ships
