About the team: 

You'll join the Product team supporting SmartAsset's consumer funnel and web platform — the experiences that reach millions of people researching financial decisions every month. We work in tight, cross-functional pods where designers, PMs, and engineers ship and iterate quickly against real user behavior and live experiment data. It's a place to grow as a designer fast: you'll see your work in front of a large audience, learn directly from experimentation results, and partner with people who care about getting the details right.

Responsibilities: 

• Design clear, usable interfaces for SmartAsset products — from wireframes through high-fidelity mockups — working within our existing design patterns and systems.
• Produce well-organized design deliverables (wireframes, user flows, mockups, prototypes) that communicate your ideas clearly to PMs and engineers.
• Collaborate daily with your product pod — product managers, engineers, and marketing partners — to ship cohesive, polished experiences.
• Apply usability and accessibility best practices to your designs, with guidance from more senior designers.
• Use analytics and A/B test results to inform and iterate on your work.
• Contribute to and help maintain our shared design system and component library.
• Support user research and testing sessions, and apply the findings to your designs.
• Present your design decisions to your pod and incorporate feedback to keep work aligned with goals and user needs.

Skills/Experience you have:

• 1–2 years of experience in UX/product design for web and/or mobile applications
• A portfolio showing clean, usable interface work and clear user flows.
• Proficiency in Figma.
• Ability to take design direction and incorporate feedback from PMs, engineers, and senior designers.
• Solid grasp of core UX and visual design fundamentals (hierarchy, layout, accessibility basics).

Skills/Experience preferred: 

• Exposure to data-informed design or A/B testing.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and inclusive design practices.
• Basic understanding of HTML/CSS and how designs are implemented.
• Experience designing within or contributing to a design system.
• Interest in or exposure to fintech or other regulated industries.
• Comfort working in an Agile, fast-paced environment.
• Degree in Design, HCI, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.

Physical Requirements:

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer 
• Must be able to communicate via phone calls and/or video conferences (mainly for concierge and sales roles) 

• Fully Remote Work: All roles are fully remote within the contiguous U.S., giving you flexibility to do your best work from where you thrive.
• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Multiple Medical, Dental, and Vision plan options through trusted national carriers—so you can choose what fits your needs.
• Life & Disability Protection: Company-paid Life/AD&D coverage, with options to add supplemental life and disability plans for extra peace of mind.
• Financial Wellness: 401(k) with employer match, pre-tax savings through FSA and HSA options, and equity packages offered for every role.
• Time Off That Works: Generous vacation, sick, and parental leave policies—because balance matters.
• Additional Perks: Pet insurance, home office stipend, and Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
