Senior Product Designer

Description

As digital assets and cryptocurrency become more widely adopted every day, our products are essential to ensure cryptocurrency is safe and accessible to all. Our solutions help to prevent financial crime and allow cryptocurrencies to be used for good. Our products are used by some of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, financial institutions and government agencies to screen over $1 billion of transactions every single week.

 

Elliptic is backed by some of the top VCs: SBI Group, Albion VC, Octopus Ventures, SignalFire, Paladin Capital, Santander InnoVentures, and Digital Currency Group, and we have grown globally with teams in the UK, USA, Singapore and Tokyo.

 

To achieve our mission, we depend on our incredible team of Elliptites. Our values are reflected in everything we do and every decision we make, both internally and outwardly to our customers. We actively encourage Elliptities to challenge the status quo and allow the freedom to innovate and learn every day. We encourage new ideas and learning, whether that’s through collaboration, our curiosity sessions, or utilising your professional development budget – personal growth is important to us all.

What’s the role?

Elliptic is looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our product-engineering organisation who believes in a customer-needs centric approach to product development. We believe that the fastest route to great products is to involve our customers in every stage of the process, listen to them with empathy, enabling us to fail quickly and cheaply so that we can afford to fail and learn often.

 

We want someone who is passionate about creating products customers love using by delighting them with tools designed to be simple to use, intuitive to learn and enable them to make powerful decisions for their business.

 

We believe that the most innovative solutions arise from empowered and diverse cross functional teams who are focused on creative problem solving together.

What will you do?

• Join a dedicated cross-functional team and be responsible for the design approach end to end working in step with product people, engineers and our lovely wider team to solve highly valued problems in the crypto industry.
• Bring innovation to our products by experimenting with ideas and testing hypotheses. Bringing the best of these through to life with the team to quickly validate and iterate on them to help us achieve our goals.
• Learn an exciting new industry and become an expert in it quickly by collaborating with a team with deep domain understanding.
• Be a committed member of our team of designers, sharing what you’ve learnt and supporting each other to raise the standards of the design discipline at Elliptic.

What impact will you make?

• Be fully leading your design space with your cross functional team
• Be setting the standard and shaping how Product design practice happens at Elliptic in collaboration with Product Management and Engineering
• Be contributing to roadmap prioritisation, championing (amongst other things) problem & opportunity validation and customer experience improvements
