Staff Product Designer Who Codes

Open 39d

You are the ultimate bridge between design, product, and engineering. This is a design-first role for a product designer who uses code to accelerate prototyping, experimentation, and product development. You don't just design features; you build them. You'll lean heavily into a design-led product development approach, taking complex problems, designing intuitive solutions, and writing the code to prototype or ship them to customers rapidly. If you are a builder who loves living at the intersection of pixel-perfect design and production-ready code, this is for you.

Responsibilities

  • Take full ownership of product features from understanding the problem, to designing the experience, to writing the front-end code and shipping it to users
  • Replace static mockups with functional prototypes to validate ideas quickly and de-risk decisions with real customer feedback
  • Work in a fixed-time, variable-scope environment, focusing on outcomes over outputs, partnering closely with backend and core engineering
  • Balance speed and craft to deliver polished, production-ready experiences on tight timelines
  • Evolve the design system and component libraries so design and code stay in sync across mobile and web platforms
  • Help designers ship in code and integrate AI tools into their workflows to raise the bar for the design team

Requirements

  • Proven hybrid experience shipping real products where you owned both the design and code implementation (e.g. React, Typescript, Node, Vue.js etc.)
  • A builder's portfolio with live products, not just mockups, that you designed and built
  • Strong product taste with a sharp eye for quality and intuitive experiences
  • Deep technical understanding of modern front-end development constraints and possibilities
  • A builder mindset that defines problems, makes decisions, and drives work to completion with minimal oversight
  • Excellent communication skills to articulate design decisions and technical trade-offs
  • Passion for Bitcoin, financial empowerment, and the future of money

Benefits

  • Stock options as part of total compensation
  • Yearly salary assessments
  • Comprehensive health and dental coverage, including health and wellness spending accounts
  • Remote-friendly work from anywhere in Canada, with optional access to office spaces in Montreal and Toronto
  • $2,000 annual budget for courses, certifications, and training
  • 20 days of vacation per year, plus a $1,000 bonus if all vacation is used
  • Parental leave top up to 100% of salary for 18 weeks
  • Quarterly team-specific or company-wide offsite
