Product Designer

Description Sharetec is looking for a Product Designer to join our team! At Sharetec, we believe in a people-first business. Our mission is to make millions of people's lives easier by developing innovative core banking and lending software solutions for credit unions and their members. Our customers rely on us for powerful financial technology that enhances operations across accounting, lending, member services, and online banking — and they count on us to be a caring, trusted partner in their success. The Role We're looking for a Product Designer to help shape the future of Sharetec's Digital Banking experience. You'll design intuitive, accessible experiences across mobile applications, responsive web platforms, and the administrative tools credit unions use every day to serve their members.

Success in this role requires balancing the needs of both audiences while creating experiences that are simple, trustworthy, and effective. You'll own the design process from discovery through delivery — conducting research, defining problems, creating wireframes and prototypes, collaborating with product and engineering teams, and helping evolve our design system as our platform continues to grow. If you're passionate about solving real user problems, love turning research into meaningful product improvements, and enjoy working closely with cross-functional teams to bring ideas to life, this role may be for you.
