Product Designer

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:
• 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.
• 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

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.

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.
