Product Designer

What’s the role?

Elliptic is looking for a Product Designer to join our product-engineering organisation who believes in a customer-needs-centric approach to product development. We believe that the fastest route to great products is to involve our customers in every stage of the process, listen to them with empathy, enabling us to fail quickly and cheaply, so that we can afford to fail and learn often.

We want someone passionate about creating parts of a product suite customers love using by delighting them with tools designed to be simple to use, intuitive to learn and enable them to make powerful decisions for their business.

We believe that the most innovative solutions arise from empowered and diverse cross-functional teams who are focused on creative problem-solving together.

What will you do?

• Join a cross-functional team and work in step with product people, engineers and the wider company to solve highly valued problems in the crypto industry.

• Work alongside product to identify the right solution to client challenges

• Validate and refine designs through user research and testing, iterating based on what you learn to deliver experiences that work for our users and drive business outcomes.

• Be a part of our design team, working towards the best product experience, collaborating on a consistent design system and design principles, systematically capturing and sharing what you’ve learnt and supporting each other, and progress by quickly giving and receiving feedback.

• Create wireframes, user flows, prototypes, and prepare high-fidelity, specified UI designs supporting the engineers during implementation.

• Learn an exciting new industry and become an expert in it quickly by collaborating with a team with deep domain understanding.

What impact will you make?

• Be fully leading your design space with your cross-functional team.

• Be end to end part of the research, design, build lifecycle, bringing to life solutions that solve meaningful problems for Elliptic’s customers.

• Set the standard and shape how Product design practice happens at Elliptic with the support of your Design Lead, and in collaboration with Product Managers and Engineering

• Contribute to roadmap prioritisation, championing (amongst other things) problem & opportunity validation and customer experience improvements

You will be a great fit here if you:

• Care about asking great questions

• Have an innate and insatiable curiosity and are keen to learn lots of new skills in design and research

• Have a pragmatic approach to finding the balance between the ideal and the possible

• Are excited by the potential of AI tools and actively explore how they can enhance design and research workflows. You don't need to be an expert, but you're curious, experimentative, and always looking for smarter ways to work

Our ideal candidate:

• Has spent a few years embedded in cross-functional product teams, ideally designing and building B2B SaaS products, and has made some mistakes along the way.
  Mistakes that you are not worried to show us!

• Is resident in the UK within commutable distance to London. We’re a hybrid team, and we love to get our teams together twice a week for some collaboration, discussions and the chance to eat together!
