Senior Product Designer - 3 month 1099 contract

At Remitly, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to access, move, and manage their money wherever life takes them. Since 2011, we've tirelessly delivered on our promise to customers sending money globally, providing secure, simple, and reliable ways to manage their money, ensuring true peace of mind. Whether it's supporting loved ones back home, growing a business across continents, or pursuing new opportunities abroad, we're not just here to move money— we're here to move our global customers forward. About the Role Remitly's Receivers team is a startup within Remitly. We are building the experience for 30 million new customers in emerging markets — people who will meet Remitly first as recipients, not as senders. We move at startup pace: scrappy, fast, minimal red tape, high responsibility per person. We are looking for a Senior Product Designer (Contract) with an AI‑first workflow and strong craft across both product UX and product marketing. You will partner day‑to‑day with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and other Designers to take ambiguous problems from “we think there is something here” to shipped, validated, customer‑loved experiences. You will move seamlessly between rapid prototyping with AI tools and detail‑level Figma work against our design system and localization processes. You will conduct your own concept testing and customer interviews, and bring a strong point of view to design decisions — disagreeing productively when you believe customers deserve better. This is a contract engagement of 3 months at 40 hours per week. We prefer a Seattle‑based hire on a hybrid schedule (2–3 days a week in the Seattle office). We are open to remote for the right candidate, with some travel expected. How to stand out Send us your resume and portfolio. We'll absolutely review. If you want to jump to the top of the stack, pick any money app, identify a problem or opportunity for a specific customer type, and use AI to design a prototype in 30 minutes or less. Show us your reasoning and prompts. This can be a You Will Own design end‑to‑end across both product UX (flows, wireframes, prototypes, full‑fidelity UI) and product marketing assets for the Receivers experience. Use AI tools fluently — Claude Code, Google Stitch, or similar for rapid prototyping; Claude (Cowork or Code), Gemini, or ChatGPT for rapid research, content generation, and analysis — to compress the path from problem to validated direction. Translate AI‑driven prototypes into polished Figma work that respects our existing design system and localization processes. Make sense of ambiguous, complex problems and shape them into clear design directions without waiting for the brief to be perfect. Conduct concept testing and customer interviews to validate direction; synthesize qualitative and quantitative signal to inform decisions. Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and other Designers — communicating progress, risks, and trade‑offs clearly. Bring a strong point of view to design and product conversations, and push back when you believe a decision will let customers down. Document decisions and hand off cleanly so the team can pick up and maintain the work after the engagement ends. You Have 7+ years of product design experience, including time in fast‑moving, low‑process environments where you owned outcomes from problem framing through ship. A strong portfolio showing shipped, customer‑facing work with clear before/after, your specific contribution, and high attention to interaction and visual craft. A clear AI‑leveraging workflow you can demonstrate — concrete examples of rapid prototyping with tools like Claude Code/Cowork or Google Stitch, and of using Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT for research, synthesis, and analysis. Strongly preferred. Expert‑level Figma skills and fluency designing and prototyping complex workflows. Experience executing within an existing design system and a localization process. Experience conducting concept testing and customer interviews independently. Strong written and verbal communication; comfort with high autonomy and high responsibility. A track record of designing both product UX and product marketing assets, or a clear ability to flex across both. Nice to Have Multilingual ability — Spanish or other languages — to support customer interviews abroad. Experience designing for emerging markets, global audiences, or first‑time digital users. Background in fintech, payments, or other consumer financial products. Prior contract or agency experience designing for consumer mobile and web. Compensation The hourly range for this position is $100‑$120. EEO Statement Remitly is an E‑Verify Employer. Remitly is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. #J-18808-Ljbffr Remitly
