As we grow, the foundational systems that power our products need to mature. Responsibilities Transforming Chaos into Order: Circle is transforming from a startup to a mature tech organization. You will audit existing, fragmented workflows and unify them into a cohesive platform experience. Unified Identity: You will design how users experience Roles, Permissions, and Team Management, taking complex logic and making it intuitive for admins and end‑users alike. Centralized Billing Infrastructure: You will design a scalable billing and subscription experience that unifies how customers pay for different parts of the Circle ecosystem. Security meets UX: You will tackle high‑stakes flows like Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA), SSO setup, and account recovery, ensuring that security never comes at the expense of usability. Qualifications Platform & Systems Experience: You have a proven track record working on platform teams, internal tools, or design systems. You understand the difference between designing a feature and designing a framework. Exceptional UI & Visual Design Skills: Your portfolio demonstrates a mastery of typography, color, layout, and hierarchy. You care deeply about “fit and finish” and pixel perfection. Complexity Wrangling: You are not intimidated by technical complexity. You can take a messy requirements document regarding permissions or enterprise billing and turn it into a clean, logical UI. Component‑Based Thinking: You are an expert in Figma. You don’t just draw screens; you build scalable components using auto‑layout, variables, and variants that other designers can easily consume. Strategic Communication: As a Lead, you can articulate the “why” behind your design decisions. You are comfortable presenting to leadership and negotiating with engineering partners to maintain design quality. Empathy for Internal & External Users: You understand that your “users” are both the customers of Circle and the internal developers and designers who have to build with your tools.
