Product Designer at FairMoney

About The Role

• The Product Designer will own end-to-end product design across merchant onboarding, payments, POS, banking, and lending experiences.
• This role focuses on translating complex fintech and compliance requirements into intuitive, high-impact user journeys in close collaboration with cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end product design: discovery → wireframes → high-fidelity UI → handoff.
• Design intuitive experiences for merchant onboarding & KYC flows, POS activation & transaction journeys, merchant app & web dashboards, banking features (accounts, transfers, settlements), merchant lending flows (eligibility, disbursement, repayment).

• Translate complex fintech, risk, and compliance requirements into simple, usable interfaces.
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Risk, and Business teams to ship high-impact features.
• Conduct user research, usability testing, and iterate based on real merchant feedback.
• Maintain and evolve FairMoney’s design system for consistency across platforms.
• Balance speed vs quality in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.

Requirements

• 3–6+ years of experience as a Product / UX / UI Designer, preferably in fintech, banking, or complex B2B products.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating problem-solving ability, complex flow simplification and end-to-end ownership (not just visuals)
• Experience designing mobile-first products (Android focus is a plus).
• Strong understanding of:
  • UX principles, interaction design, and information architecture.
  • Design systems & component-based design.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving requirements.

• Basic understanding of risk, fraud, or compliance flows in fintech.

What Success Looks Like
