Company Description

Farther is a rapidly growing RIA that combines expert advisors with cutting-edge technology - delivering a comprehensive, tailored wealth management experience.

Farther’s founders are leaders and innovators from the private wealth industry who possess a unique blend of traditional wealth management, fintech, and technology production expertise. We’re backed by top-tier venture capital firms, fintech investors, and industry leaders.

Joining Farther means joining a collaborative team of entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping their clients and our teammates achieve more. If you’re the type who breaks through walls to get things done the right way, we want to build the future of wealth management with you.

The Role 

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to own and scale Farther's design system. You'll take ownership of an emerging foundation and build it into a robust, scalable system that drives consistency, quality, and velocity across our platform.

This is a dedicated design systems role—you'll own the full lifecycle: refining and expanding the component library, establishing patterns and documentation, driving adoption across design and engineering, and ensuring the system evolves with our product needs. As priorities shift, you may also support product teams by consulting on component usage and ensuring design system principles are applied consistently across features.

We're looking for someone who's passionate about systems work AND comfortable operating on a team where collaboration across workstreams is valued.

Your Impact 

Design Systems Ownership

  • Own and evolve Farther's design system—refining foundations, building new components, and scaling for growth
  • Create reusable components, design tokens, and detailed usage documentation in Figma
  • Drive prioritization, roadmapping, and stakeholder communication
  • Define governance processes for adoption, enhancements, and deprecations
  • Collaborate closely with engineering to ensure design-to-code fidelity
  • Establish education and onboarding processes that drive real adoption across the team

Supporting Design Team Work

  • Provide guidance and support to designers across advisor tools, client platforms, and mobile, ensuring design system principles are applied consistently
  • Partner with PMs and engineering teams as needed to clarify component usage, patterns, and best practices during feature implementation
  • Apply systems thinking to help maintain consistency, accessibility, and quality across all product experiences
  • Collaborate with other designers to support seamless cross-platform experiences, leveraging the design system as the single source of truth
The Ideal Match 
  • 5+ years of product design experience with 2-3+ years in design systems
  • Strong Figma skills with ability to build and maintain scalable component architectures
  • Experience scaling or evolving an existing design system (not just building from scratch)
  • Self-directed with strong prioritization and stakeholder management skills
  • Strong engineering collaboration—you understand how design translates to code
  • Excellent documentation and communication skills
  • Comfortable with shifting priorities and collaborating across workstreams
Bonus Points 
  • Experience in fintech or regulated industries
  • Familiarity with Storybook or similar tools
  • Background in mobile design systems (iOS/Android)
  • Interest in AI tools and design automation
Why Join Us
  • Competitive comp package that rewards impact
  • Work alongside some of the brightest minds in fintech
  • Ground-floor opportunity at a fast-scaling startup
  • Chart your own growth path as we expand
  • Full health benefits + 401(k) matching & Roth IRA options
