Who you are:
You’re a skilled Senior Product Designer who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. You excel at owning the full design process from discovery through delivery, with a strong portfolio of shipping intuitive, high-impact digital products in domains like fintech, AI, crypto, B2C, or SaaS.
  • 4+ years of experience in digital product design, with demonstrable senior-level responsibility on complex projects

  • Proven ability to design zero-to-one products — taking concepts from initial research to polished, launch-ready interfaces

  • Strong portfolio showcasing end-to-end ownership: product discovery, information architecture, wireframing, UI/visual design, and design systems

  • Expert proficiency in Figma

  • Comfortable using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, etc.) to accelerate research, ideation, and workflow

  • Excellent communication and client presentation skills with the ability to work independently and manage your own schedule

  • Experience with user testing platforms, motion design, and advanced interaction design is a plus

What You'll Do:
As a Freelance Senior Product Designer, you’ll join our contractor pool and work directly with Lazer’s clients on high-impact projects. You’ll operate with significant autonomy while collaborating with stakeholders to deliver exceptional results.
  • Lead zero-to-one product design across fintech, AI, crypto, B2C, and SaaS projects — from early concepts to fully realized interfaces

  • Conduct product discovery research, including user interviews, competitive analysis, and synthesis to uncover key insights

  • Create feature lists, user stories, and information architecture diagrams to align teams and guide development

  • Wireframe and prototype features end-to-end, iterating rapidly based on feedback and testing

  • Deliver high-fidelity UI and visual design with strong attention to detail, accessibility, and brand alignment

  • Build, evolve, and maintain design systems to ensure consistency and scalability across projects

  • Prepare and deliver compelling client presentations, clearly communicating design rationale and strategic recommendations

  • Manage your own schedules, deliverables, and time proactively to meet project timelines in a remote consulting environment

AI in our hiring process
We use AI to help us review and shortlist applications based on job-related criteria. A human hiring manager always makes the call on who moves forward. As a company that builds with AI every day, we're all for candidates using it too — just be upfront about how it helped.
Why Work With Us

  • 🚀 Accelerate Your Growth: Work across multiple industries and cutting-edge projects with a team that ships fast.

  • 💥 Maximum Impact: Shape the future of the tech industry by helping ambitious projects reach their potential.

  • 🏅 True Ownership: Everyone ships code and has real autonomy with minimal meetings.

  • 💡 Continuous Learning: Be part of a team of senior engineers and designers who love learning and knowledge sharing.

Why This Might Not Be For You
  • 🤖 You Resist Modern Tools: We leverage AI and cutting-edge technology to build rapidly and focus our energy on solving the most complex, high-impact challenges for our clients.

  • 🏗️ You Crave High Structure: We thrive in an autonomous, fast-moving environment, which means you need to be comfortable with some ambiguity.

  • 😴 You Prefer Conventional Careers: Our consulting approach involves varied projects and direct client interaction — it's not for everyone.

  • 1️⃣ You Like Staying in One Lane: Our projects require adapting to different tech stacks and modern tooling quickly.

Benefits & Perks
  • 🌐 Work From Anywhere: Choose your workspace — all you need is strong wifi and a passion for building!

  • 🧘‍♂️ Work / Life Balance: We believe in our team’s ability to have it all; a great career, and time to unplug and live…you know...life.

  • 🩺 Employee Care: We provide full benefits (healthcare, dental, vision) for our employees (401k for our US employees)

  • 🏖️ Unlimited PTO: Everyone needs a break. Take at least 15 days off a year, and more if you need—just be cool about it and keep the team in mind.

  • 🎉 Regular Team Retreat: Join us for a week of team bonding at amazing destinations. Recent trips include the Dominican Republic, Cancun, and Hawaii — plus ones welcome.
