Compliance is critical for FIs to get right, but most of their work still happens manually, in legacy technology or Excel.\nBanks, credit unions, and fintechs across the country use Kobalt to run third party due diligence, screen marketing collateral, and stay current with the ever-changing regulatory landscape. Since our Series A, we've grown revenue more than 5x and work with some of the most notable names in financial services, including Chime, Upstart, and Affirm.\nThe Role\nWe’re looking for a Product Designer to define the next generation of Kobalt’s product and brand.\nKobalt has grown quickly into a broad platform used across risk and compliance teams at financial institutions. As the product expands, we need a stronger design system behind it: one that can make complex workflows intuitive, establish consistent patterns across the platform, and give our team a foundation to build on as we grow.\nYou’ll work closely with our CTO and engineering team to design new products and rethink existing ones, own the design and implementation of our website, and build the component and interaction patterns that shape how Kobalt looks and feels.\nThis is a hands-on role for someone who cares as much about how a system works as how it looks.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign complex product workflows from first principles, working closely with engineering from early concepts through shipped product.\n\nEstablish the design system for Kobalt’s platform, including reusable components and patterns for common product surfaces.\n\nOwn Kobalt’s website end-to-end, from visual direction and information architecture through implementation and iteration.\n\nEvolve Kobalt’s visual identity across the product and website as we enter our next stage of growth.\n\nSpend time with customers and our team to understand how people actually work, then turn messy workflows and requirements into simple, thoughtful interfaces.\n\nQualifications\n4+ years of experience designing and shipping software products, ideally complex B2B or enterprise applications.\n\nExceptional systems thinking. You can reason about information architecture, interaction patterns, states, and reusable primitives-not just individual screens.\n\nA strong portfolio of product work that demonstrates both visual craft and thoughtful interaction design.\n\nExperience building or meaningfully contributing to a design system across a growing product.\n\nComfortable working directly in code and using modern AI-assisted development tools to build and iterate on web experiences.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2628,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["RegTech, AML & Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-27T03:36:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.664,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":22,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kobalt-labs-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kobalt-labs-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T11:49:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8417,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3778881},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3778881"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkobalt-labs-product-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkobalt-labs-product-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkobalt-labs-product-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kobalt-labs-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkobalt-labs-product-designer"}]}
