Staff Product Designer

What We Do

Rillet serves accounting and finance teams. Our customers are the financial brains of their companies. Our job is to help them run the numbers with impossible speed, accuracy, and insight.

Rillet is an AI-native ERP that can drive a zero-day close. We are different because of our unified source-of-truth data model, hundreds of best-in-class native integrations (Stripe, Ramp, Salesforce, etc), automated & auditable workflows, multi-entity consolidation, and quickly expanding army of specialized AI agents (e.g., accrual, audit, P&L flux, board decks, etc). These earn us a consistently perfect customer satisfaction score. High-growth AI customers like Mercor, and Function Health love our ship velocity, because their financial stack needs to scale as quickly as they do.

This huge market is ours to take. We have raised $100M from leading investors (including Sequoia, a16z, Iconiq, Oak HC/FT, and First Round) to help everyone run their numbers at the speed of AI.

Who We Are

Rillet's pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need extreme speed, agency, and flexibility.

Successful Rilleteers do not wait for assignments. They internalize a mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for.

Work revolves around our customers. Successful Rilleteers are energized by delivering the most important things, even those that weren't in the original plan.

In this role, you do not need to be an accountant. But you do need to appreciate the value that our customers can create for their own company when we equip them with the perfect financial tools. Successful Rilleteers love powering the financial core of the world's fastest-growing companies.
Who You Are

You're a design leader who thrives in ambiguity and sees constraints as creative opportunities. You've built products from 0→1, established design systems that scale, and led teams through rapid growth. You balance strategic thinking with hands-on craft, moving fluidly between setting vision and pushing pixels. Most importantly, you're energized by the challenge of making complex financial software genuinely elegant.

We're looking for teammates who value in-person collaboration and are within commutable distance of our NYC or San Francisco offices (or willing to relocate). Team members are required to work in-office Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional flexible in-office day. Certain roles may require additional in-office time based on function.

• Work closely with product and engineering to define both the short-term tactical goals and long-term product vision and roadmap
• Establish design principles and set the direction for Rillet's design system
• Lead user research initiatives
• Understand the array of user goals, business requirements and technical constraints that shape our product
• Pull inspiration from various sources to invent new interaction paradigms in finance & accounting
• Lead a team of product designers, acting as a mentor and coach to ensure their success

• Be hands-on and contribute directly to Rillet's UX/UI design

Who We're Looking For

• 5+ years end-to-end design experience from research to implementation across all stages of the design process
• 3+ years leading design teams in product-driven B2B SaaS environments
• Proven ability to solve complex design problems and visualize complex systems, from financial concepts to design system components
