Company mission
To empower asset stakeholders by revolutionising access to investment data and insights in one central platform.
Role
Who you are
- You do not need to be a full-time engineer. Comfort reading a component, working in a library such as shadcn/ui and reviewing a front-end PR goes a long way
- 5+ years designing B2B, analytics or data-heavy products, with deep UX expertise in complex domains
- Systems thinking — you think in objects, relationships and states before screens
- Real craft in dense data interfaces: tables, grids, charts, hierarchy, typography, restraint
- Fluency with AI-assisted design as a working method, and the specification skill described above
- First-hand user research — you get past what users say they do to what they actually do
- Comfortable as an editor and enabler: reviewing others’ work, teaching, holding a line
- Genuine curiosity about finance. You need not arrive knowing what a capital call is
What the job involves
- AI has made producing screens easy. It has not made products coherent. We are looking for someone to own the experience of Sesame end to end — the client journey, the interaction logic, the look and feel, and the consistency of all of it
- We have posted this role under two titles — Product Experience Designer and Design Engineer — to reach both backgrounds. Same role, same team. Apply once, to whichever fits you better
- We have rebuilt our product process around AI rather than bolting it on:
- AI is used heavily at every stage of both design and engineering, not just at the production end
- Our design system lives in code, used by engineers and AI tooling alike
- Tooling changes every few months and we expect it to
- You will have real scope to shape how we work, and to help build the parts that do not exist yet
- How much of this you lead outright will depend on your experience and on how it fits with the team already in place. There is room to take on more over time
- Client journey. The journey for investment professionals, family offices and their advisors — grounded in time spent with them, not personas
- The experience model. How portfolios, positions, transactions and valuations are represented, related and navigated across the platform — and a strong voice when teams disagree
- Look, feel and consistency. The product should feel like one thing, and you will help define what that one thing is
- The design system. A living implementation in code, developed with our front-end engineers rather than a Figma library that drifts from production
- Craft in dense financial interfaces. Tables that stay legible at scale, numbers at the right precision, drill-downs that survive a messy real portfolio
- AI is very good at producing attractive interfaces. Given a design system, almost anyone can now generate a credible screen
- The harder problem, and the one this role exists to solve, is making sure what we build expresses the product’s logic, density and intent rather than simply reusing its components. That means defining the standards and instructions our tools work to, reading the output critically enough to see why something is subtly wrong, and tightening the rules so it does not recur
- Using AI to produce interfaces is not the skill we are looking for. Directing it to our standard, consistently and at depth, is
- Designing the experience is half of it. Delivering it is the other half
- Build and ship, rather than only specify
- Drive the design system with engineers as a shared artefact in code
- Design for real production constraints: scale, loading and error states, ugly data
- If you have talked to clients directly, decided what not to build, and owned an outcome rather than a deliverable, we will weight it heavily
Application process
- Our interview process is likely to include a portfolio or work conversation, a short practical exercise based on a real Sesame flow, and a working session with a product manager and an engineer. We adapt the steps to the candidate and will always tell you what to expect in advance

Our take
Nowadays, money is flowing into private market investments and illiquid asset classes, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for wealth managers to communicate investments and financial information quickly and efficiently to their clients.
London-based Landytech is a fintech startup transforming the way asset owners, managers and advisors access investment information. The company has developed its own software, called Sesame, and it provides clients with the tools they need to track the value of their portfolios, conduct analysis and deliver reports.
With successful funding rounds, Landytech has raised capital that has allowed it to accelerate its growth, with a focus on growing its team internationally and further developing its product to support the partnership with its client base of single and multi-family offices, trustees and asset managers.
