About the role
Shape the Future on Autopilot
At Autopilot, you won’t just design screens – you’ll design how fintech works. As a Product Designer, you’ll own product experiences end-to-end and help redefine what great UX means in a complex, data-driven industry.
We’re building a high-performance, AI-native Fintech Operating System designed to optimize cost and revenue for digital businesses. Join us on a multi-year mission to build smarter infrastructure for commerce.
Why Join Us?
You’ll help build an ambitious product from the ground up, with a team that values speed, craft, and autonomy. If you’re ready to make an outsized impact in fintech, we’d love to meet you.
About the Role
You'll join a fast-moving team building modern, data-intensive web applications that help digital businesses operate more intelligently. This is a founding design role with strong emphasis on product logic, systems thinking, and end-to-end collaboration with engineers.
🛠️ What You'll Do
* Translate complex financial logic and backend systems into intuitive user flows
* Design dashboards, workflows, and visual systems for payments, orchestration, and automation
* Build and maintain our scalable design system in Figma (aligned with React components)
* Collaborate with engineers on real-world UX states — success, failure, pending, retry
* Prototype and validate features with real data and user context
* Participate in product discussions, shaping user journeys before pixels are drawn
* Uphold usability and domain accuracy as the standard for design quality
🎯 What We're Looking For
* 5+ years of experience designing digital products with complex logic (fintech, B2B SaaS, or data-heavy systems preferred)
* Strong product and systems thinking — you design for states and workflows, not just screens
* Deep Figma expertise (Auto Layout, Variants, Tokens, Components)
* Ability to translate backend logic, APIs, and data models into coherent user experiences
* Excellent communication and documentation skills (Linear, Figma, Slack)
* Comfortable working directly with engineers and iterating quickly without handoffs
🌟 Bonus Points
* Experience in fintech, payments, or compliance-related products
* Exposure to analytics or developer tooling
* Understanding of design-to-code workflows (React component parity, tokens)
* Strong interaction or motion design craft (Framer, ProtoPie, etc.)
Our Hiring Process
We focus on real-world collaboration, not design showreels. Here’s what to expect:
1. Apply with LinkedIn Profile And Resume We’ll review based on the requirements above. If shortlisted, you’ll receive an email to schedule a 90-minute live design collaboration session once you’re comfortable with our pre-interview brief.
2. 90-Minute Live Design Collaboration You’ll work with our product and engineering team on a small feature challenge — from user problem to Figma prototype. We’ll look at: * How you think through logic and flows * How you translate constraints into UX decisions * Your interaction, hierarchy, and state management * How you communicate trade-offs and rationale The session mirrors our actual workflow: * accessible * pragmatic * collaborative
3. Design Review & Feedback After the session, we’ll walk through your design decisions together. You’ll get feedback from our CTO and team, and discuss potential improvements or extensions to your solution.
4. Culture & Alignment Chat A final call with CEO to discuss your long-term goals, how you work best, and whether Autopilot is the right fit for both sides.
