Creative & design jobs in Chicago, IL

About the role

We are looking for a Product Designer to help shape the everyday experience of a fintech and blockchain product. This is a hands-on execution role: you'll own design for a product area day to day, partner closely with an engineering counterpart on feasibility and sequencing, and bring both craft and judgment to decisions that affect people's money.

What you'll bring

• 3–5 years of product design experience, with a portfolio showing shipped, customer-facing consumer or fintech products, not just concept work.
• Direct experience designing for blockchain, crypto, or web3 products (wallets, exchanges, custody, DeFi, or similar) you understand the interaction patterns and trust challenges unique to the space.
• Demonstrated experience building and using personas or other customer-research artifacts to inform real product decisions.
• A track record of working closely with engineers day to day, you think about feasibility and edge cases as part of the design process, not after the fact.
• Strong craft in interaction design and visual design, with fluency in Figma (or equivalent) and modern design-system practices.
• Comfort designing for regulated, high-trust products where clarity, error prevention, and security cues matter as much as visual polish.
• Clear communication skills, you can explain design decisions to engineers, PMs, and leadership in terms each audience cares about.
• Experience designing wallet, custody, or on/off-ramp flows specifically.
• Familiarity with prototyping in code or working directly in front-end tooling to speed up handoff.
• Background in a regulated industry (banking, payments, real estate, insurance) in addition to crypto.
• Experience contributing to or building a design system from scratch.
