If that sounds like a mission you want to be a part of, let’s create it together.\nWe’re building AI-powered wealth management. Investments, taxes, retirement, estate planning, all in one platform instead of scattered across different advisors and apps. We're backed by Google's Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, Scale Venture Partners, and more. We’re growing fast while still small enough that everyone's work is visible and impactful.\nAbout the Role\nThis is not a traditional design role. You won't wait for specs or polish someone else's ideas. You'll define what we build, why it matters, and how it comes to life, owning the product experience end-to-end and setting the standard for design across Range. This is a building role. You understand the user's problem, you prototype fast, you ship, sometimes the same day. Your work doesn't live in a deck. It lives in production.\nDesign at Range is AI-first and builder-led. You'll use tools like Lovable and Claude to prototype and iterate rapidly, reducing handoff friction and getting ideas in front of customers faster. You bring validated concepts back into Figma for full state coverage, system alignment, and production readiness, forcing yourself to think through every component and interaction. Our design system is evolving, and having someone who can own its direction and architecture is critical.\nYour designs and flows will be how this company makes strategic decisions. When you put something visual in front of the team, we move. Designers at Range are catalysts, creating momentum and moving ideas forward. We think big, but we ship small and incrementally. You'll operate as a design leader across pods and product surfaces, setting the bar for quality, speed, and product thinking at the organizational level. We're looking for someone who raises the bar for everyone around them. The standard you bring should push the entire company, across design, product, and engineering, to operate at a higher level.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn the product experience end-to-end, from shaping ambiguous problems to shipping high-quality solutions and iterating in production.\n\nAct as a core product partner, shaping direction with PM and engineering, influencing what gets built (not just how), and driving clarity in ambiguous spaces.\n\nSet design direction across multiple product surfaces, ensuring coherence, quality, and a unified member experience as the product scales.\n\nPrototype rapidly using AI tools: Use Lovable and Claude to build, test, and iterate on flows and interfaces. Guide structure, behavior, and UX quality while AI accelerates your output.\n\nBring work into Figma: Translate validated concepts into Figma for full state coverage, component definition, and production readiness. This is where you think through every state, edge case, and interaction pattern.\n\nOwn and evolve the design system: Define component architecture, interaction patterns, and design principles. Manage and oversee organized design files and workspaces.\n\nDesign for the 80/20: Encode judgment and complexity under the hood while keeping the default experience simple and delightful for members.\n\nBe a visual catalyst to drive momentum. Use prototypes, visuals, and product intuition to unblock decisions and move the team forward.\n\nInfluence product strategy at the leadership level, shaping roadmaps and helping the organization think about what to build next, not just how to build it.\n\nMentor and grow other designers, elevating their craft, judgment, and ability to operate independently.\n\nWho You Are\nA builder. You move from problem to prototype to product in production quickly. You don't wait for perfect clarity. You create it, lead, and help unblock your team.\nTaste-obsessed. You've studied the best (Ramp, Airbnb, the fastest-scaling consumer products) and you have real opinions about what makes them great. You have a high bar for what \"good\" looks like, and your work consistently meets it. You notice what others miss. You care about the last 10% because it's what makes products feel exceptional.\nA visual designer, not just a UX designer. You care about craft at the pixel level. Typography, color, spacing, motion. Your work has a distinct point of view and a level of polish that elevates the entire product.\nA systems thinker. You sweat the details without losing the big picture. You can zoom from system-level thinking down to a single interaction, and both hold up. You design for the whole ecosystem, not just the screen in front of you.\nAI-native. You're already using AI every day, not as a toy, but as core infrastructure. You see it as the thing that turns one designer into ten. You're defining what's actually possible when a great designer leans all the way into AI.\nHigh judgement. You've built enough to make fast, confident decisions in ambiguous situations, and you're usually right. You care deeply about the outcome. Not just shipping, but whether what you shipped actually works for the user and for the business.\nA persuasive communicator. You frame strong rationales for design decisions and can convince peers and executives alike. You communicate concisely with both pixels and words.\nObsessed with the member. Every pixel, every interaction, every flow is crafted around how your members will actually feel when they use the product. You care about business outcomes because they're inseparable from customer satisfaction.\nWhat We're Looking For\n8+ years of product design experience, with a track record of defining product direction and shipping work that meaningfully moved the business.\n\nTrack record of shipping end-to-end across web and mobile, from problem definition through launch and iteration.\n\nDeep Figma proficiency: component architecture, auto-layout, design tokens, prototyping, and structured file management.\n\nComfort working in AI prototyping tools like Lovable or Claude, even if you're not writing production code by hand.\n\nExperience leading design across multiple product surfaces or teams, setting quality standards and ensuring coherence across a complex product.\n\nExperience shaping product strategy at the leadership level. You don't just influence what gets built on your team, you influence how the organization thinks about product and design.\n\nYou're comfortable working alongside strong design leadership and contributing at that level, bringing your own point of view, taste, and standards to the table.\n\nWhat Will Set You Apart\nExperience building or significantly evolving design systems that scaled with a product, defining component architecture, interaction patterns, and design principles\n\nTrack record of mentoring and growing other designers, elevating their craft, judgment, and ability to operate independently\n\nDeep product sense. You identify the highest-leverage design investments and connect them to business outcomes. You've shaped product roadmaps, not just responded to them\n\nExperience with data visualization and complex information architecture\n\nConsumer or luxury product design experience\n\nFintech or financial services experience, especially navigating regulatory and compliance constraints in the design layer\n\nWorkflow UI, funnels, and onboarding flows\n\nContent management systems\n\nExperience at a company during a critical scaling phase. You helped define the culture, processes, and standards that carried the team from early stage to growth\n\nNot for You If\nYou need a defined process before you can start working.\n\nYou're offended by the idea that AI changes everything about this job.\n\nYou'd rather hand off a spec than build alongside engineers.\n\nYou optimize for consensus over conviction.\n\nYou think \"move fast\" means lower the bar.\n\nCompensation\nBase salary range: $100,000 - $200,000\nThis is the base salary range we expect in good faith to pay for this role at the time of posting. Where an offer lands within the range depends on the scope and complexity of work the candidate can own independently and demonstrated depth at this level.\nOther compensation and benefits\nThe range above reflects base salary only. Our offer packages also include equity in the form of stock options, so total compensation for this role will exceed the base salary range.\nWe do not ask for or consider salary history. You are welcome to ask questions about compensation at any point in the process.\nBenefits\nHealth & Wellness: 100% employer-covered medical insurance for employees (75% for dependents), plus dental and vision coverage\n\n401(k): Retirement savings program to support your future\n\nPaid Time Off: time to reset and recharge + most federal holidays\n\nParental Leave: Comprehensive leave policy for growing families\n\nMeals: Select meals covered throughout the week\n\nFitness: Monthly movement stipend\n\nEquity & Career Growth: Early exercise eligibility and a strong focus on professional development\n\nAnnual Compensation Reviews: Salary and equity refreshes based on performance\n\nBoomerang Program: After two years at Range, you can take time away to start your own company. We’ll hold your spot for 6 months - and pause your equity vesting, which resumes if you return\n\nRange is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. As a company, we are committed to designing products, building a culture, and supporting a team that reflects the diverse population we serve.","description_format":"text","description_chars":9652,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Polish","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity","Health insurance","Parental leave","Professional development","Retirement plans","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Wealth Management & Financial Advisors","Investing Apps & Robo-Advisors"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-17T05:34:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.182,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":308,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/range-principal-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/range-principal-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T09:17:19Z","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":13842,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"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":713904},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=713904"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frange-principal-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%2Frange-principal-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%2Frange-principal-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/range-principal-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frange-principal-product-designer"}]}
