Role
Who you are
- Over 6 years of product design experience delivering impactful solutions for B2B products, bonus points if you have direct experience with designing for platforms that work with business or consumer data
- A strong portfolio demonstrating the ability to design product experiences that turn complex or abstract customer challenges into simple, intuitive solutions
- Experience collaborating cross-functionally with product and engineering teams, driving alignment from discovery through delivery
- A systems thinker who bridges user experience and API-driven systems, with familiarity in developer tooling such as SDK configuration, setup flows, and technical onboarding
- Strong communication skills, able to clearly articulate design decisions and advocate for customers’ needs through compelling storytelling
- A proactive approach to advancing work, taking initiative to move projects forward and keep teams aligned through changing priorities
- Proficiency in Figma, including prototyping, collaborating in shared design files, and effectively leveraging and maintaining design system components
Desirable
- Demonstrated ownership of a design system or component library, including defining standards, guiding its evolution over time, and partnering closely with engineers to ensure high-quality, scalable implementation (hands-on contribution is a plus)
- Comfortable working with front-end frameworks (ReactJS) and contributing design changes independently with minimal engineering support
- Bonus skills such as illustration, branding, motion design, photography, or other creative disciplines
What the job involves
- As a Product Designer at Middesk, you’ll play a pivotal role in helping businesses uphold strong compliance standards and manage risk with confidence
- You’ll design intuitive experiences that empower customers to make informed compliance and risk decisions in highly regulated industries
- Working closely with Product and Engineering partners, you’ll own the end-to-end design process from discovery through delivery, bringing a balance of craft, systems thinking, and curiosity to every stage
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to refine problems, explore solutions, and deliver designs that strike the right balance between customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints
- Own the end-to-end design process, from early discovery to launch, using design best practices to drive impact at every stage
- Translate complex data challenges into simple, intuitive experiences that build trust and clarity for our customers
- Use storytelling to bring clarity and meaning to complex business identity and risk concepts, helping others understand the “why” behind your work
- Shape and evolve Middesk’s design system and visual language to ensure consistency, accessibility, and craft across all products
Our take
Middesk helps businesses screen, verify, and run risk and compliance checks on customers and other businesses. The founders developed the business after experiencing first-hand the often laborious process of manual identity verification, a process which has proven a pain point for many businesses historically.
This hands-on experience helped land Middesk seeding from heavyweight investors Sequoia and Accel. The company's focus is on businesses with stringent regulatory risk requirements, with a special focus on businesses involved in financial aspects like credit and payroll. Middesk’s focus on this sector opens them up to a growing, lucrative market as more businesses than ever are demanding services comparable to retail banking, credit unions and community banks.
Testament to the value of their offering is Middesk’s recent partnership with challenger bank tech platform Agora Services. The challenger bank sector is taking off fast too, and if Middesk can establish a strong reputation for servicing this burgeoning industry, they stand to win big.
