Senior Product Designer | Bankrate

Red Ventures operates Bankrate, a financial decision-making platform that helps consumers compare options across mortgages, credit cards, savings, and more. The Senior Product Designer will be the sole designer on the Brand Product squad, owning end-to-end product design from user discovery and research through technical implementation, while partnering closely with engineers and contributing to brand, accessibility, and design-system standards.

Responsibilities:

• Product Discovery & Research: Get close to users before picking up a tool. Run discovery sessions, use AI to accelerate synthesis, and frame problems worth solving. You're comfortable conducting user interviews and usability tests without a dedicated researcher, and you bring that insight back into the product — not just into a Figma frame
• End-to-End Design Execution: Own design from early ideation through delivery in whatever form the solution requires. Figma is the whiteboard, not the destination. Finished work might be a prototype, a component in living code, or a high-fidelity spec — whatever moves the team forward fastest. AI tools are an active part of how you explore, prototype, and iterate: not a shortcut, but a way to move faster without moving sloppily
• Technical & Systems Fluency: Bring enough comfort with the codebase and tooling to be a real partner to engineers. Active in agentic coding tools (Cursor, Copilot, etc.), working knowledge of GitHub, and familiar enough with component libraries like shadCN, Tailwind, and Next.js to design with what's actually being built. Contribute to design system decisions — you understand that system decisions are product decisions, and you treat them accordingly
• Brand & Experience Standards: Apply and help evolve Bankrate's brand and experience standards across everything your squad ships. On this squad, brand experience and product experience are the same thing — you're accountable for both, and accessibility is part of that bar
• Design Culture & Craft: Contribute to raising the craft of the design org. Show up to critiques prepared to give and receive sharp feedback. Share what you're learning — tools, AI workflows, prompts, patterns — and make it useful for the people around you, not just your own practice

Requirements:

• Experience in product discovery and research, including conducting user interviews and usability tests
• Ability to own design from early ideation through delivery in various forms
• Comfort with coding tools and knowledge of GitHub
• Familiarity with component libraries like shadCN, Tailwind, and Next.js
• Experience in applying and evolving brand and experience standards
• Ability to contribute to design culture and craft within the organization
• Portfolio demonstrating evidence of shaping design decisions through discovery
• High and consistent craft in design work, with attention to detail and accessibility
• Technical comfort with front-end concepts and ability to communicate with engineers
• Proactive and collaborative communication style
