[Hiring] Senior Product Designer @American IT Systems

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Product Designer with 5+ years of experience who thrives in ambiguity, ships fast, and is comfortable working directly in code bases alongside Figma. You'll own design end-to-end for core product areas at Loancrate — an AI-native Loan Origination System that is reimagining mortgage software for the first time in 20 years. This is a high-ownership role on a small, elite design team disrupting one of the sleepiest industries in financial services.

• Own entire feature areas end-to-end — from discovery and Figma design through prototyping in local dev environments, with designs moving from Figma to code the same day.
• Design complex, data-dense UIs and multi-step automation workflows for AI-native mortgage tooling — including agentic flows, streaming content, and probabilistic outputs.
• Collaborate with internal subject matter experts and client-side users to gather requirements and validate concepts through rapid iteration.
• Contribute to the migration to a new component system (ShadCN) and maintain scalable design system assets.
• Participate in weekly design critiques and partner closely with engineering and product to ship features with real user impact.

Qualifications

• 5 - 10 years of experience in end-to-end product design for complex SaaS tools.
• Startup or small-team experience shipping real products.
• Experience designing complex, workflow-heavy SaaS products (not marketing pages, consumer apps, or brand work).
• Experience as founding/sole designer or design lead at an early-stage company (seed to Series C).
• Fintech, lending, regulated industry, or document-heavy workflow experience.

Requirements

• Actively works in or alongside code (vibe coding, opening PRs, prototyping in local dev environments) — not just Figma-to-handoff.
• Deep Figma proficiency (components, variants, auto-layout, prototyping) with a bias toward shipping fast over pixel-perfection.
• Must be based in the United States with ability to travel domestically to client sites; no visa sponsorship available.

Benefits

• $200K - $300K salary range.

Interview Process

• Recruiter Screen.
• Portfolio Case Study Deep Dive with Jason, Founding Designer, or Zach, Designer (30 min).
• Cross-Functional Panel with Senior Engineer, PM, and Customer Success/Ops/Mortgage Expert (90 min).
• Live Design Challenge with Jason or Design Team (2 hours).
• Final / Offer Conversation with Andrew, CTO (15–30 min).
