Staff Product Designer - Investment Products

Hybrid - New York, NY

Company Description

Farther is a rapidly growing RIA that combines expert advisors with cutting-edge technology - delivering a comprehensive, tailored wealth management experience.

Farther’s founders are leaders and innovators from the private wealth industry who possess a unique blend of traditional wealth management, fintech, and technology production expertise. We’re backed by top-tier venture capital firms, fintech investors, and industry leaders.

Joining Farther means joining a collaborative team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping their clients and our teammates achieve more. If you’re the type who breaks through walls to get things done the right way, we want to build the future of wealth management with you.

The Role

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer specializing in investment products, responsible for shaping end-to-end experiences for Wealth Advisors and client-facing tools. This role translates complex financial systems into clear, intuitive, and high-performance user experiences.

You'll thrive in ambiguity, work at high velocity, and drive problems from discovery through polished execution — collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, and Research to define solutions, rapidly prototype and validate ideas, and shape product direction. Strong expertise in investment workflows, data-heavy interfaces, and design systems is essential, along with a passion for AI-enabled workflows and design-to-code efficiency.

Your Impact

  • Drive end-to-end product design across discovery, definition, prototyping, validation, and final execution with high velocity and exceptional craft
  • Shape design direction for complex investment workflows — portfolios, order execution, asset allocation, performance, and risk — translating them into clear, actionable user experiences
  • Partner closely with Product and Engineering to define strategy, surface constraints, and drive high-impact investment product decisions
  • Design and validate solutions through rapid prototyping, experimentation, and structured user feedback loops
  • Create high-fidelity designs, interactive prototypes, and decision-driving artifacts that directly influence product direction
  • Transform dense financial and market data into clear, usable visualizations, dashboards, and decision-support tools
  • Contribute to and evolve a scalable design system that supports speed, consistency, and product complexity
  • Leverage AI, automation, and modern design tooling to accelerate exploration, iteration, and production readiness
  • Elevate design quality and thinking across the organization through critique, feedback, and informal mentorship
  • Act as a strategic thought partner to Product and Engineering — helping shape roadmap priorities within the investment domain
  • Clearly articulate design rationale grounded in user behavior, financial logic, and business outcomes

The Ideal Match

  • 8+ years of product design experience with deep expertise in complex, data-rich digital products
  • Proven track record designing investment, trading, wealth management, or financial analytics platforms — institutional or retail
  • Strong understanding of investment concepts including market data and pricing mechanics, order types and execution flows, portfolio construction and asset allocation, and performance, risk, and return analytics
  • Expert-level proficiency in Figma (components, auto layout, variants, prototyping) and experience evolving design systems at scale
  • Strong systems thinker who can operate across multi-step workflows and interconnected product surfaces
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and rapidly translating loosely defined problems into structured, testable solutions
  • High-agency collaborator who thrives in fast-paced startup environments and can independently drive work from concept to execution
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to tailor narratives across users, engineers, and executive stakeholders

Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with AI-assisted design workflows, no-code tools, and design-to-code pipelines
  • Experience mentoring or informally leading other designers in high-growth environments
  • Experience working with real-time market data, trading infrastructure, or institutional investment systems
  • Background in designing for quantitative or analytical user personas — traders, portfolio managers, or RIAs

Why Join Us

  • Learn & grow through book clubs, seminars, and peer learning sessions
  • Competitive comp package that rewards impact
  • Work alongside some of the brightest minds in fintech
  • Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startup
  • Chart your own growth path as we expand
  • Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
  • Unlimited PTO
  • An amazing collaborative atmosphere between product, design, and engineering to solve hard problems together

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
