You will be a part of driving the next chapter of incredible growth in Betterment’s advisor business
- At Betterment, we hire designers who are passionate about personal finance, and building intuitive, delightful experiences for customers to manage their money. You approach problems holistically, and are self-motivated, learning new skills quickly, with a sense for what you’ll develop next. We seek out folks who are talented and eager to both learn from their colleagues and help make them better. As a design team, we're focused and always strive for excellence
- This role is based out of our NYC office. Below we've reflected the base salary range we would offer for this position.

The range listed is just one component of Betterment’s total compensation package for employees

- Contribute to product strategy by identifying new opportunities, generating innovative solutions, crafting intuitive and efficient designs, and improving existing features
- Partner with product management, engineering, and many others, working closely in cross-disciplinary teams across business-to-business and consumer-facing product areas
- Be responsible for all aspects of design for your projects from inception through launch

- On average, it takes us around 3-5 weeks to make a hiring decision, depending on your availability and sense of urgency. As a best practice, we aim to interview at least 2-3 final round candidates before making a hiring decision.

Our take
Betterment is an app-based investment platform that provides personal finance data and guidance to retail users through a range of real-world data and AI analytics to deliver investment advice to customers.
The company has become the largest independent digital investment advisor in the U.S. Having expanded its 401k business, Betterment has entered the world of Crypto, partnering with Gemini to offer customized crypto portfolios and its "Crypto Investing by Betterment" platform.
Betterment has a wealth of competition in this increasingly crowded space. Other robo advisors offering similar services include Moneyfarm, Wealth Simple, M1 Finance and Personal Capital. Going forward, Betterment hopes to further distance itself from rivals as it further innovates its platform.
