Senior Product Designer

Remitly's Receivers team is a startup within Remitly building the experience for 30 million new customers in emerging markets—people who will meet Remitly first as recipients, not as senders. We move at a startup pace: scrappy, fast, minimal red tape, high responsibility per person.

Senior Product Designer (Contract) working 3 months, 40 hours per week. Prefer Seattle-based hire, hybrid 2–3 days a week; remote open for the right candidate, with some travel.

• Own design end-to-end across product UX (flows, wireframes, prototypes, full-fidelity UI) and product marketing assets for the Receivers experience.
• Use AI tools fluently—Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT—for rapid prototyping, research, content generation, and analysis.
• Translate AI-driven prototypes into polished Figma work that respects the existing design system and localization processes.
• Make sense of ambiguous, complex problems and shape them into clear design directions without waiting for a perfect brief.
• Conduct concept testing and customer interviews to validate direction; synthesize qualitative and quantitative insights to inform decisions.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and other Designers—communicating progress, risks, and trade-offs clearly.
• Bring a strong point of view to design and product conversations, and push back when you believe a decision will let customers down.
• Document decisions and hand off cleanly so the team can pick up and maintain the work after the engagement ends.

Required

• 7+ years of product design experience, including ownership of outcomes from problem framing through ship.
• A strong portfolio showing shipped, customer-facing work with clear before/after, specific contribution, and high attention to interaction and visual craft.
• Expert-level Figma skills and fluency designing and prototyping complex workflows.
• Experience executing within an existing design system and a localization process.
• Experience conducting concept testing and customer interviews independently.
• Strong written and verbal communication; comfort with high autonomy and high responsibility.
• Track record of designing both product UX and product marketing assets, or clear ability to flex across both.

Nice to Have

• Multilingual ability—Spanish or other languages—to support customer interviews abroad.
• Experience designing for emerging markets, global audiences, or first-time digital users.
• Background in fintech, payments, or other consumer financial products.
• Prior contract or agency experience designing for consumer mobile and web.
• Experience designing accessibility-conscious and compliance-aware consumer experiences.

Hourly range: $100–$120.
