Senior Product Designer
Summary
RootstockLabs is hiring a remote Senior Product Designer to own the end-to-end UX/UI design process for its Bitcoin-backed onchain financial infrastructure — designing web and mobile experiences, evolving the design system, and collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Marketing. Open to candidates based in Europe or South America.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior Product Designer (UI/UX-focused) to join our Product Design team at RootstockLabs.
This is a product-first role. We are looking for someone who can own the end-to-end product design process, deeply understand user problems, and translate them into intuitive, scalable solutions across web and mobile. The role requires a strong emphasis on UX thinking and high-quality UI execution. Both are equally important.
You will collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Marketing to design user-centered experiences and contribute to the evolution of our design system.
While the primary focus of this role is product design, experience with illustration and motion design is a strong plus. The ability to enhance product experiences with custom visuals, storytelling, or motion/video assets will significantly increase your impact.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the end-to-end product design process from problem definition to final delivery
- Identify and validate user pain points through research, prototyping, and testing
- Translate product and business requirements into clear, intuitive design solutions
- Design high-quality user experiences across web and mobile
- Create and deliver pixel-perfect UI with strong attention to detail (layout, typography, hierarchy)
- Build, maintain, and evolve a scalable design system
- Design and produce print materials (e.g., brochures, event assets) as needed to support business and marketing initiatives
- Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and Marketing teams
- Ensure consistency across all product and brand touchpoints
- Conduct design QA and iterate based on feedback and performance
WHAT YOU BRING
- 7+ years of experience in product design (UX/UI)
- Strong experience designing end-to-end product experiences (not just visuals)
- Proven expertise in UX thinking, flows, and problem-solving
- High level of UI craft and visual execution
- Strong experience working with and scaling design systems
- Ability to work hands-on while thinking strategically
- Experience collaborating with engineering and product teams
- Ability to work autonomously in a remote, cross-timezone environment
- Fluent English (spoken and written)
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience in Web3, crypto
- Experience with motion design, including video creation (not only micro-interactions)
- Experience with illustration or custom visual assets creation
- Basic understanding of front-end development
- Experience working in fast-paced startup environments
