Lead Product Designer

About Us

OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, Paypal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium & others. We’re backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors.

Role Overview

OpenFX is building the infrastructure layer for institutional money movement at a global scale. We sit at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets, working with institutional users who move large volumes across currencies and care deeply about operational clarity in their money flows.

As a Lead Product Designer, you will help make complex financial infrastructure feel clear, trustworthy, and efficient. You'll work across client-facing trading experiences, internal operational tools, and the communications that connect both. The work goes beyond visual polish. It's about making intricate financial logic understandable to the people who rely on it every day.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design Ownership
  • Lead the design process end-to-end for product initiatives, from early problem framing through to specs and implementation support. You help shape what gets built, not just how it looks.
  • Work across the full product surface, including client-facing features, internal tools, transactional communications, and onboarding.
  • Produce whatever design artifacts the project calls for, whether that's user flows, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity mocks, or component documentation.
• Design System & Platform Consistency
  • Help maintain and evolve the design system, keeping component libraries, interaction patterns, and design tokens coherent as the product grows across teams.
  • Contribute to ongoing quality efforts by spotting and addressing inconsistencies in typography, spacing, copy, and component usage across the platform.
• Collaboration & Implementation
  • Work alongside engineers during build. We value designers who stay involved through implementation.
  • Stay connected with client-facing teams to keep the loop tight between what users experience and what the product delivers.
• Research & Learning
  • Develop a working understanding of how people actually use the platform, including their workflows, mental models, and pain points.
  • Make research a regular part of how you work, through client calls, design reviews with CS, and prototype walkthroughs.

What we are looking for

Must-haves:

• Systems Design: You think in systems, not just screens. Our platform is interconnected, and a single action can affect multiple surfaces, states, and user types.
• Financial & B2B Product Sensibility: You're familiar with financial product concepts, or you pick up new domains quickly. You've designed for professional, repeat-use products where users are experts.
• Craft & Execution: You have a strong eye for visual design across layout, typography, color, and hierarchy. You're proficient in Figma.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: You're comfortable working with product managers on open-ended problems where the answer isn't obvious and involves trade-offs.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Equity in a rapidly growing company.
• Opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup at the forefront of fintech innovation.
• Opportunity to make a significant impact on global financial infrastructure
• Collaborative work culture with emphasis on personal and professional growth.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
