ElectronX is a U.S.-regulated, direct access electricity derivatives market, focused on building financial infrastructure for energy production and grid expansion. The Lead Product Designer will own the user experience of the ElectronX exchange, responsible for all aspects of product design and collaborating with Engineering and Compliance to create clear and trustworthy high-stakes transactional products.

Responsibilities:

Establish, lead, and own end-to-end user journeys across the exchange — onboarding, funding, trading, risk and position management, and settlement
Design and iterate on high-stakes transactional experiences — orders, collateral, withdrawals — where accuracy, timing, and comprehension are critical
Define and evolve a unified visual language and interaction guidelines that makes every interaction a meaningful experience
Contribute to product roadmaps, refine design processes, and share knowledge through documentation and presentations
Translate complex financial and technical concepts into clear, trustworthy flows for a diverse range of users from institutional energy and market traders to commercial energy participants
Stay close to users (traders, market makers) through research, interviews, and data, and turn insights into prototypes and shipped products known for ease of use, reliability and cohesive design
Present work with clarity, grounding strategy in research, reasoning, constraints, and expected impact
Break down open-ended problems, prioritize for impact, and align closely with Product, Engineering, and Compliance to deliver user-focused, impactful designs
Balance rapid iteration with meticulous attention to interaction detail, information architecture, and visual polish
Lead and participate in design reviews, provide clear and actionable feedback, and contribute to a culture of high standards by showing through doing

Requirements:

6+ years of product design experience, with meaningful time spent on transactional, financial, or trading products
Fluency and excellence in design and prototyping tools (Figma, Sketch, Penpot, or Adobe XD etc.)
Proven track record of successfully leading design function across a product area
A portfolio demonstrating ownership of complex, user-centered interfaces and end-to-end UX thinking
Strong grasp of interaction design fundamentals — flows, states, edge cases — not just visual execution
Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where you help define the problem as much as the solution
Ability to communicate design rationale clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Experience conducting user research and translating findings directly into product decisions
Familiarity with capital markets, energy markets, trading platforms, crypto
Experience working at a private, venture-backed startup
Experience designing for compliance-sensitive or regulated financial products
Exposure to design systems work and component-level thinking at scale
