Sobre este puesto de Staff Product Designer en Imprint
Who We Are
Imprint helps the world's best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to create delightful and personalized experiences for members as well as efficient and profitable relationships for our brand partners. Our robust technology and world-class operations allow us and our brand partners to offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.
In the U.S., co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in annual spend, and most still run on decades-old legacy bank systems. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we're building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.
As a Staff Product Designer, you'll shape the future of Imprint's member experiences, leading complex product initiatives from discovery through execution. You'll combine exceptional design craft with strategic thinking and strong product judgment to identify opportunities, simplify complex problems, and deliver intuitive, high-impact solutions. Partnering closely with Product and Engineering, you'll influence product direction, champion exceptional user experiences, and raise the bar for design craft, collaboration, and decision-making across the organization.
