Product Designer, Nova

Why Join Angel List

We’re solving some of the hardest problems in venture capital and private markets. You’ll work with a team that values precision, urgency, and long-term thinking. If you want to shape how startups are funded and built, this is the place.

We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We do this by building the financial infrastructure that makes it easier for more people to invest in world-changing companies.

Angel List is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support $171B+ in assets and have powered investments into over 13,000 startups—over 300 of which are unicorns. Today, 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on Angel List. While our scale is large, our ambition is larger.

If you're excited to build the future of private markets, come build with us.

Every year, trillions of dollars move from investors to funds and funds to companies in private markets. And every single time this money moves, everyone holds their breath a little bit. Did I really send these millions of dollars to the right bank account? Will my investor capital arrive on time for my deployment?

Nova is the payment network that solves this. Within Angel List, we’ve been running it internally for the past five years, moving $90B between funds and investors without the risk of sending money to the wrong place. We’re now extending this network outside Angel List: to the rest of the venture, private equity, and real estate.

You will own the design vision for the Nova business and execution across the team for all products within this strategy.

• Design thoughtful product experiences on both sides of the payments network, creating connected experiences for funds, investors, and the teams that support them.
• Drive scoping for the most ambiguous areas of the product vision, including how these products will interact with other ones (both within Angel List and beyond).
• Set the standard for visual and interaction patterns within this business area that other designers on the team will calibrate to.
• Talk regularly with customers, using research and leverage insights to lead cross-functional teams in driving thoughtful, high-ROI solutions

• Have 7+ years of experience, and owned company level product bets end to end.
• See the creation of a new payment network as an exciting design challenge, and understand the complexity behind rethinking the way funds and investors interact
• Are a systems thinker with interaction and visual craft strong enough that the work itself sets the bar.
• Understand that deep thinking, clear product vision, and customer obsession are some of the most important things designers bring to a team.
