About Monstro

Monstro is the operating system for governed financial intelligence. We build governance and intelligence infrastructure that enables artificial intelligence to operate safely, explainably, and at institutional scale.

We exist because the level of financial guidance historically available to a small group should be accessible to many more people. By combining AI with deep institutional infrastructure, we help financial institutions deliver more personalized, responsible, and life-changing financial support to millions of individuals.

We're building mission-critical systems in a highly regulated domain, and we care deeply about doing it right. If you're motivated by meaningful problems, high standards, and shaping infrastructure that improves financial outcomes, you'll feel at home here.

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer who is passionate about creating intuitive, impactful, and consumer-focused products that drive adoption, usage, and loyalty. If you thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment, this role is an exciting opportunity to shape the user experience of a groundbreaking platform.

As a Senior Product Designer at Monstro, you will own the design of critical product areas—driving both the strategy and execution for our digital wealth platform. You'll translate complex financial workflows into intuitive, high-quality experiences, while setting the standard for design quality, consistency, and user impact across the product.

• Own the end-to-end design of critical product areas through production, ensuring high-quality, production-ready user experiences as Monstro launches.
• Drive UX direction for complex, AI-powered workflows—translating technical capabilities into intuitive, trustworthy, and user-friendly interactions.
• Shape and refine the core product experience, making clear design decisions that balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
• Design high-quality interfaces and interaction patterns that improve usability, adoption, and long-term engagement.
• Establish and evolve design standards, patterns, and systems to ensure consistency and scalability across the platform.
• Design and iterate on high-fidelity mockups, prototypes, and user interfaces that prioritize user engagement and adoption.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, and marketing to align user experience, product direction, and brand across all touch points.

• Complex financial workflows are translated into intuitive, high-quality user experiences.
• Priorities, scope, and timelines are clear to engineering, design, and leadership.
• Design work moves from concept to production with clarity, speed, and a high bar for craft.
• Design decisions are well-reasoned, clearly communicated, and influence product direction.
• Early users successfully adopt and engage with the product, with feedback informing rapid iteration.
• Design standards and patterns begin to take shape, improving quality and efficiency across the team.

• 6-10+ years of experience in UX design, with a strong focus on consumer-facing products and driving user engagement.
• Experience designing AI-driven or AI-assisted product experiences, with a strong understanding of human-AI interaction patterns, trust, transparency, and explainability is a must.
• Expertise in user-centered design processes, working cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, and stakeholders.
• Strong portfolio showcasing UI/UX design work, including consumer apps, gamified experiences, and consistent brand identity.
• Proficiency in design tools such as Adobe XD, Figma, Sketch, or equivalent.
• Passion for innovation and a keen interest in gamification trends and cutting-edge digital design.
• Ability to adapt quickly to shifting priorities in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Ownership & Impact: Shape the future of AI-powered finance—building a category-defining product used by consumers and institutions around the world.
• Experienced Team: Join a team with leadership that has a track record of scaling companies from early stage to major exits.
• Principles-Driven Culture : Work in a culture that values speed, ownership, and impact—what most companies achieve in 90 days, we do in 45.
• Comprehensive Compensation Package : Competitive salary, equity, and robust benefits package, including paid health, vision, dental, and disability coverage.
