Senior UX Designer

Job Description

Who we are:

At TrueLayer, we’re building a global open banking platform that’s changing how money moves and so much more. We make payments and refunds instant, account data accessible and verification seamless — all so innovators in every industry can build better financial experiences for their users.

To date, we’ve raised $270 million from world-renowned investors including Stripe, Tiger Global, Addition and Tencent. We’ve got offices in London, Milan and Dublin. And we’re trusted by industry leaders like Revolut, Cazoo and Trading 212… though we’re not stopping here.

Our vision is a financial system that works for everyone. To make that happen, we’re creating original and innovative products that will remove the friction from finance for good. We’re seriously scaling our infrastructure, we’re entering new areas all the time, we’re cornering a whole new category — and we’d like your support to get us there.

Description

At TrueLayer we believe that bridging the gap between engineering and design is the best way to build frictionless products. That’s why our designers, researchers, developers, and PMs consistently collaborate (think less “silo”, more “free flow”). So, from end-user interfaces to our developer Console, there’s no problem that we can’t tackle at scale with intuitive, user-centric, beautiful design. We’re looking for passionate designers to join our Product Development organisation and build end-to-end product experiences. As a designer embedded in a product team, you will mentor both product managers and engineers on UX/UI best practices, and promote a user-centric approach to the products you’re building. You will also have the opportunity to align with other peers in the Design community and to gain familiarity with the latest tools, processes and technologies, as well using a brand new, cutting-edge Design System we’ve built in-house. As a Senior UX Designer you will:

• Work closely with PMs and developers as part of the Product Development organisation
• Challenge product briefs and always drive decision making to build better experiences
• Conduct research, competitor analysis and usability testing
• Spec optimal user journeys and product functionalities
• Design vertical interfaces that fit with our overall platform offering
• Create wireframes, graphic mock-ups and prototypes for all devices (responsive design)
• Consume our Design System library and contribute to its evolution
• Sit with developers to do pixel-perfect reviews of frontend products before they are pushed in production
• Create decks, guidelines, docs and other design materials needed to support the product commercially
• Collaborate with other designers and advocate for design consistency

Requirements

What you need to demonstrate:

• Have strong experience building products
• Ability to solve problems of complexity through smart design
• Specific experience in a fast growing Fintech/API/SaaS company
• Being data-driven, and be able to back up your assertions with data
• A user-first attitude and ensure we consistently deliver a user-centric culture
• Strong understanding of web grids and browser limitations
• Experience designing for iOS and Android
• Familiarity with usability testing methods
• Ability to follow design processes to keep alignment with the overall design org
• Experience working with Design Systems
• Experience working in an agile environment as part of a product team

We’d be especially excited if you can show:

• Proficiency with HTML, CSS, React JS and Git version control
• Experience with accessibility best practices
• Experience with SDKs

Benefits

What you can expect from us:

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity in the company 💰
• Flexible hours and hybrid working — work from home 🏡 and our incredible offices in London 🇬🇧 Milan 🇮🇹 and Dublin 🇮🇪
• A £150 remote-working budget to help you set up your home office 💺
• Flexible holiday policy, with 24 days as standard ✈️
• Generous parental leave, above and beyond statutory requirements and with no minimum tenure 👩‍👩‍👧
• Enhanced pension contribution at 4% & 4% 👵🏽 👴🏽
• Private health insurance from the day you start 🧑🏽‍⚕️
• 12 fully-paid wellbeing days a year (on top of the holiday allowance) 🕊️
• Membership of mental wellbeing platform Spill 🧘🏽‍♀️
• £1,000 to spend on learning & development each year 📚
• £500 per quarter (outside of required business travel) to visit our hub cities around the world 🌍

At TrueLayer, we don’t just do inclusion and diversity. We embrace people that have different opinions, perspectives and personalities. Because we believe that by seeing the world from all sorts of angles, we can make life better for all the people who live in it. So we want you to know that the things that make you, you — like your age, ability, background and identity — are things that we celebrate and support. All we ask is that you believe in what you do (and know what an API is).
