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:

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.
