Product Designer

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
