Senior Product Designer - Cards & Credit

Mercury is a fintech company building design-forward financial products for startups. The Senior Product Designer will own complex Cards & Credit product problems end to end, translating complicated systems into simple experiences and partnering with Product, Engineering, and Brand on product and physical card experiences.

Responsibilities:

• Own meaningful Cards & Credit product problems from initial framing through shipped experience, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to understand the problem and shape what we should build
• Turn complicated systems, requirements, and edge cases into experiences that feel remarkably simple and intuitive
• Work across the entire design stack, from framing problems and exploring concepts to workflows, detailed interactions, visual design, prototyping, and final implementation
• Explore broadly and design from first principles, questioning inherited patterns and assumptions when a better answer may exist
• Bring a high level of interaction and visual craft to the Cards & Credit experience, from the structure of a workflow to the details of hierarchy, typography, motion, and state
• Collaborate with Mercury’s Brand team on physical cards and related products, creating a cohesive experience between the objects our customers hold and the product experiences surrounding them
• Develop a deep understanding of our customers, communicate the reasoning behind your decisions clearly, and work through tradeoffs with your partners to arrive at the strongest solution

Requirements:

• A strong portfolio of product work demonstrating exceptional product thinking, interaction design, and visual craft
• An ability to understand complicated systems and turn them into simple, thoughtful product experiences
• Deep curiosity about why a problem exists before deciding how to solve it, with a willingness to question assumptions and work from first principles
• Real ambition for the work itself
• A high bar for craft and the judgment to know where additional thought and detail meaningfully improve an experience
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and taking ownership without waiting for every requirement to be defined
• A habit of exploring multiple possibilities, prototyping ideas, and changing direction when a stronger solution emerges
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to articulate your thinking, explain tradeoffs, and build conviction with Product and Engineering partners
• Deep care for customers and an ambition to create products that don't just function well, but genuinely make their lives better
