About the role
tastytrade is a self-directed brokerage built for active options and futures traders, with a platform spanning web, desktop, and mobile. We're hiring a Senior Product Designer to work alongside our trading design team and significantly raise the quality of our mobile trading experience: tastytrade's largest and fastest-growing customer surface, and the area with the most direct line between focused design investment and meaningful conversion improvement. This role operates at the intersection of complex financial product design and a regulated environment where decisions carry real operational weight. We're looking for a Senior Product Designer who understands trading, can work through genuinely hard product problems, and can operate independently alongside a PM and engineering team. This is not a role for someone who needs a lot of scaffolding.
What you'll bring
- 8+ years of product design experience, with at least 3 years in a regulated financial environment (trading, brokerage, crypto, banking, investing, etc)
- A track record of moving metrics: you can point to specific design decisions you owned that shifted conversion, retention, or engagement, and explain how you got there
- Strong mobile app design background: you have shipped native iOS or Android and understand what makes mobile a distinct design challenge
- Visual craft suited to complex, high-stakes interfaces: you design for expert users who are time-pressured and low on tolerance for friction, and your work ships at the same quality it was designed
- Able to drive projects forward without heavy direction: you figure out what is needed, pull in the right people, and keep things moving
- Bring strong product thinking to every project: collaborate closely with PMs and engineers as a peer, ask the right questions before execution starts, push back constructively when something doesn't serve users, and know when to commit and execute
- Direct experience with options, futures, or equities trading products
- Experience designing for crypto trading or other emerging asset classes
- Familiarity with real-time data, high-density interfaces and the constraints they create
