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.

• 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 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.
