What we're looking for

Every generational product makes you feel something. Apple is clean, with products evoking a blank canvas and freedom - the clean typography, gradients of black/white/gray, and minimalism. Robinhood is sleek, tech-forward yet secure - the punchy neons on black, a “one action per page” mantra, and frequent incentives/events.

Axal is seeking an exceptional designer to bring intuitive, no-nonsense savings to life. We’re looking for the best of the best with a strong design and leadership background, comfort taking risks, and excited to work across the company (product screens, social materials, videos, statics, you name it).

Responsibilities

• Refresh Axal’s existing design system and assets to lay a proper foundation. You will establish patterns and components that scale.
• Product - Axal currently maintains web, iOS and Android apps. New features will require significant brainstorming, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and ultimately finalized screens.
• Marketing - static static and video creation as requested from others. You’ll work alongside the BD team primarily to hone in on eye catching, intentional design for us to better capture potential users.
• UX Flows/Research - think through optimal UX flows for user behavior, conducting user interviews and interfacing heavily with engineers. What’s the optimal way to have users setup allocations across asset classes? What should a referral acceptance flow be? What should important account notification emails look like?

Qualifications

• 2+ years of prior design experience, ideally for a consumer product. You can point to products in production you have helped design.
• Comfortable with multi-media design - product mockups, video editing and animations, statics, etc.
• You are a master of all core design tools for modern products (Figma, Adobe Premiere/After Effects, etc.).
• You have taste (and can describe it to others). You have strong opinions about good and bad design.
• You have examples of creating beautiful things outside of work (physical art, video, music, etc).
• You are chronically online - up to date with trends, doomscrolling non-stop, and a strong, relatable personal voice/brand.
