The Role 

We’re looking for a highly experienced Senior Product Designer to build Farther’s design system from the ground up and own it long-term. This foundational role will define how our entire product organization works—creating the infrastructure that enables consistent, high-quality experiences at speed.

You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the design system: auditing assets, creating a scalable component library, defining patterns, and layouts, documenting usage, and driving adoption across design and engineering. This is deep, hands-on, expert-level work that requires strategic thinking, systems-level vision, and the ability to execute down to the smallest detail.

Your Impact 

Design Systems Ownership

• Audit existing design assets and build a scalable, accessible component library in Figma
• Create reusable components, design tokens, and detailed usage documentation
• Own prioritization, roadmapping, and stakeholder communication for the design system
• Define governance processes for adoption, enhancements, and deprecations
• Collaborate closely with engineering to ensure design-to-code fidelity and proper implementation
• Establish education and onboarding processes that drive real adoption across the team

Supporting Design Team Work

• Provide guidance and support to designers across advisor tools, client platforms, and mobile, ensuring design system principles are applied consistently
• Partner with PMs and engineering teams as needed to clarify component usage, patterns, and best practices during feature implementation
• Apply systems thinking to help maintain consistency, accessibility, and quality across all product experiences
• Collaborate with other designers to support seamless cross-platform experiences, leveraging the design system as the single source of truth

The Ideal Match 

• 5+ years of product design experience, including 3+ years leading design systems
• Expert in Figma, capable of building scalable component architectures 
• Deep understanding of design-to-code implementation and cross-platform consistency
• Both strategic and executional—able to set vision, define governance, and execute detailed components
• Self-directed, highly organized, and skilled at prioritization and stakeholder management
• Excited by the challenge of building and maintaining a permanent, enterprise-grade design system
• Excellent documentation, communication, and collaboration skills

Bonus Points 

• Experience in fintech or regulated industries
• Familiarity with Storybook or similar tools
• Background in mobile design systems (iOS/Android)
• Interest in AI tools and design automation
• Experience mentoring designers or leading adoption initiatives

Why Join Us

• Competitive comp package that rewards impact
• Work alongside some of the brightest minds in fintech
• Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startup
• Chart your own growth path as we expand
• Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
• Unlimited PTO
• An amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems together

The Role

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer specializing in investment products, responsible for shaping end-to-end experiences for Wealth Advisors and client-facing tools. This role translates complex financial systems into clear, intuitive, and high-performance user experiences.

You'll thrive in ambiguity, work at high velocity, and drive problems from discovery through polished execution — collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to define solutions, rapidly prototype and validate ideas, and shape product direction. Strong expertise in investment workflows, data-heavy interfaces, and design systems is essential, along with a passion for AI-enabled workflows and design-to-code efficiency.

Your Impact

• Drive end-to-end product design across discovery, definition, prototyping, validation, and final execution with high velocity and exceptional craft
• Shape design direction for complex investment workflows — portfolios, order execution, asset allocation, performance, and risk — translating them into clear, actionable user experiences
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering to define strategy, surface constraints, and drive high-impact investment product decisions
• Design and validate solutions through rapid prototyping, experimentation, and structured user feedback loops
• Create high-fidelity designs, interactive prototypes, and decision-driving artifacts that directly influence product direction
• Transform dense financial and market data into clear, usable visualizations, dashboards, and decision-support tools
• Contribute to and evolve a scalable design system that supports speed, consistency, and product complexity
• Leverage AI, automation, and modern design tooling to accelerate exploration, iteration, and production readiness
• Elevate design quality and thinking across the organization through critique, feedback, and informal mentorship
• Act as a strategic thought partner to Product and Engineering — helping shape roadmap priorities within the investment domain
• Clearly articulate design rationale grounded in user behavior, financial logic, and business outcomes

The Ideal Match

• 8+ years of product design experience with deep expertise in complex, data-rich digital products
• Proven track record designing investment, trading, wealth management, or financial analytics platforms — institutional or retail
• Strong understanding of investment concepts including market data and pricing mechanics, order types and execution flows, portfolio construction and asset allocation, and performance, risk, and return analytics
• Expert-level proficiency in Figma (components, auto layout, variants, prototyping) and experience evolving design systems at scale
• Strong systems thinker who can operate across multi-step workflows and interconnected product surfaces
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and rapidly translating loosely defined problems into structured, testable solutions
• High-agency collaborator who thrives in fast-paced startup environments and can independently drive work from concept to execution
• Strong communication skills with the ability to tailor narratives across users, engineers, and executive stakeholders

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with AI-assisted design workflows, no-code tools, and design-to-code pipelines
• Experience mentoring or informally leading other designers in high-growth environments
• Experience working with real-time market data, trading infrastructure, or institutional investment systems
• Background in designing for quantitative or analytical user personas — traders, portfolio managers, or RIAs

Why Join Us

• Learn & grow through book clubs, seminars, and peer learning sessions
• Competitive comp package that rewards impact
• Work alongside some of the brightest minds in fintech
• Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startup
• Chart your own growth path as we expand
• Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
• Unlimited PTO
