[Hiring] Staff Product Designer @Shakepay

Role Description

As a Staff Product Designer Who Codes, you are the ultimate bridge between design, product, and engineering. This is a design-first role for a product designer who uses code to accelerate prototyping, experimentation, and product development.

• Own problems end-to-end:
  • Take full ownership of product features from understanding the problem, to designing the experience, to writing the front-end code and shipping it to users.
• Prototype in code:
  • Replace static mockups with functional prototypes to validate ideas quickly and de-risk decisions with real customer feedback.
• Drive design-led development:
  • Work in a fixed-time, variable-scope environment. Focus on outcomes over outputs, partnering closely with backend and core engineering to deliver meaningful impact.
• Ship fast without sacrificing quality:
  • Balance speed and craft. Deliver polished, production-ready experiences on tight timelines, with strong attention to detail in both design and code.
• Elevate the UI architecture:
  • Evolve our design system and component libraries so design and code stay perfectly in sync across mobile and web platforms.
• Act as a force multiplier:
  • Raise the bar for the entire design team by helping designers ship in code and integrate AI tools into their workflows—improving speed, autonomy, and technical depth across the organization.

Qualifications

• Proven hybrid experience: You’ve shipped real products where you owned both the design and code implementation (e.g. React, Typescript, Node, Vue.js etc.).
• A builder's portfolio: You can point to live products—not just mockups—where you designed and built the experience. You likely use AI tools to prototype, iterate, and accelerate your workflow.
• Strong product taste: You have a sharp eye for quality and know what makes an experience feel intuitive, fast, and delightful.
• Deep technical understanding: You understand the constraints and possibilities of modern front-end development, and design accordingly—building solutions that are performant, scalable, and maintainable.
• A builder mindset: You don’t wait for specs. You define problems, make decisions, and drive work to completion with minimal oversight.
• Excellent communication skills: You can articulate design decisions and technical trade-offs clearly across design and engineering.
• Passion for Bitcoin, financial empowerment, and the future of money.

Benefits

• Be an owner: Every employee has stock options as part of their total compensation.
• Reach your goals: Yearly salary assessments.
• Health & wellness: Access to comprehensive health and dental coverage, including health and wellness spending accounts.
• Remote-friendly: Work from anywhere in Canada, with optional access to our office spaces in Montreal and Toronto.
• Level Up: A $2,000 annual budget for courses, certifications, and training to support your career growth.
• Time off: 20 days of vacation per year. And if you use all your vacation, we give you a $1,000 bonus.
• Parental leave: Enjoy a parental leave top up to 100% of your salary for 18 weeks.
• Have fun together: Quarterly team-specific or company-wide offsite to connect with each other.
