Senior Product Designer

About the role

Taktile is building the world's leading software platform for running critical and highly-automated decisions. Our customers use our product to catch fraudsters, prevent money laundering, and expand access to credit for small businesses, among many other use cases. Taktile is already making millions of such decisions across the globe every day.
We do this through a powerful suite of tools that combine ML/AI with heuristics and logic, flexible data integrations, and an overlay of data analytics. We see a high degree of usability as a key differentiator and have been investing in a world-class UI/UX from day one. To help us deliver our vision, we are seeking talented and experienced Senior Product Designers.
As a Senior Product Designer, you will be responsible for translating highly technical and complex problems into clean and understandable solutions. You will be the voice of user experience and design standards in a cross-functional setting, and responsible for the end-to-end design process for your team. You’ll join a diverse design team and work closely with engineers, marketing and sales to create products that make it easy for our users to make smarter and safer decisions at scale.

What You'll Do

• Independently lead all design efforts for a cross functional team within Taktile.

• Apply design thinking to complex technical problems

• Continuously learn from user research and be the voice of our customers in product development

• Conduct competitive analysis of existing products in the marketplace to identify opportunities for improvement

• Connect business strategies, available technologies, and design solutions to deliver great experiences that impact our users and our business goals

• Actively validate and iterate to ensure our product concepts are aligned with the business needs and stakeholder expectations

• Collaborate closely with engineers and ensure that designs are implemented effectively in code

• Contribute to and work with our Design System

• Collaborate with other designers to create a coherent user experience across Taktile’s products

Ideal, But Not Required

• Experience designing for B2B SaaS companies and/or highly technical and data-oriented products

• Experience designing low-code tools that empower subject matter experts

• Strong technical understanding that allows you to engage in discussions with the Engineering Team

• Experience in working in a fast-paced start-up/scale-up environment

• An interest in fintech and financial services more broadly

Our Offer

• Work with colleagues that lift you up, challenge you, celebrate you, and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields. If you are similarly capable, caring, and driven, you'll find yourself at home here

• Ship with a high degree of autonomy that allows you to make an impact and meaningfully shape entire areas of the product

• Experience a flat hierarchy and communicate directly with founding team members. Having an opinion and voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo

• Learn from experienced mentors and achieve tremendous personal and professional growth. Get to know and leverage our network of leading tech investors and advisors around the globe including the founders of Looker, Datadog, GitHub, and UiPath

• Enjoy bi-annual offsites where the entire company co-locates to collaborate in person

• Receive a top-of-market equity and cash compensation package as well as access to a self-development budget that you can use to attend conferences, buy books or take classes

• Work at our prime office locations in Berlin and Amsterdam for two days per week or more

Our Stance

• We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply

• We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won't inquire about how you identify or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears
