What the job involves
- As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll lead design for key areas of the Shakepay product, owning problems end-to-end—from early discovery to polished execution. You’ll work closely with Product and Engineering to shape solutions, not just deliver them
- This role is a mix of craft, systems thinking, and product. You’ll zoom in to refine details at the pixel level and zoom out to influence the broader customer journey and product direction
- Own end-to-end design for core product areas: Lead projects from research and discovery through prototyping, testing, and final execution across mobile and web
- Shape product direction: Partner with Product Managers and Engineers early to define problems, explore solutions, and influence roadmap decisions—not just execute on them
- Design for impact: Create experiences that improve key metrics like activation, engagement, retention, and conversion, while delivering intuitive and high-quality user experiences
- Champion customer understanding: Use qualitative and quantitative insights to inform decisions and ensure the team stays grounded in real user needs
- Evolve our design systems: Contribute to scalable design systems and patterns that ensure consistency across app, web, and marketing surfaces
- Raise the bar for design: Help improve design quality, processes, and collaboration across teams. Provide feedback and contribute to a strong design culture

In navigating the dynamic digital economy, Shakeypay must balance agility with maintaining trust among both seasoned crypto users and newcomers. The company's strategic decision to focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum, complemented by initiatives like the Shakepay rewards card, reflects its commitment to simplicity and accessibility in a complex market landscape.
Shakepay is focused on enhancing its user-friendly cryptocurrency interface to sustain growth. Recent engagement with regulators highlights its commitment to safe digital asset transactions. Following a data breach, Shakepay swiftly implemented security measures and offers free credit monitoring, reinforcing its dedication to customer data security.

Company benefits
- Equity benefits: We believe everyone at Shakepay should benefit from building a generational company, so every shaker owns stock options
- Get paid in bitcoin: You can choose to take a percentage of your salary in bitcoin. Whether you opt for some or none, the choice to be paid in the hardest, soundest money the world has ever known is yours
- Remote friendly: With a flexible schedule, you can work on your own time, from home or anywhere. And if you're close by, you’re welcome to work in our Montreal or Toronto offices whenever you want. Being a remote-first company is awesome, but there’s value in spending time with your teammates and deepening these bonds. So, each shaker is entitled to 15 days of travel and accommodation to any Canadian city each year, covered by Shakepay
- Generous vacation: Time off is essential, and we highly encourage it. We trust you to take as much as you need, when you need it. Every team member is expected to take at least 20 days of vacation each year. To help make sure you do, after taking 20 days, shakers receive a $1,000 bonus to put towards their next vacation
- Insurance coverage: We offer health, dental, paramedical, disability, life, and travel coverage so you're always at your best. On top of our insurance coverage, all shakers also get access to a health and wellness spending account
- Personal development: It's a marathon, not a sprint. We're here to help you define and hit your personal career goals so that you can get where you want to be. To support our team, every shaker gets a $2,000 yearly budget to spend on learning and development
- Working from home: Working from home should be comfortable. Every shaker gets $1,200 to spruce up their home office and a monthly stipend for home and internet expenses
- Self-sovereignty: The path to self-sovereignty means being in full control of your coins. We offer a budget for shakers to get a self-hosted wallet and to build a self-hosted node
