Staff Product Designer Who Codes As a Staff Product Designer Who Codes , you are the ultimate bridge between design, product, and engineering. This is a design-first role for a product designer who uses code to accelerate prototyping, experimentation, and product development. You don't just design features; you build them. We are leaning heavily into a design-led product development approach, and in this role, your primary focus will be taking complex problems, designing intuitive solutions, and writing the code to prototype or ship them to our customers rapidly. If you are a builder who loves living at the intersection of pixel-perfect design and production-ready code, this is for you. What you’ll be doing - Own problems end-to-end: Take full ownership of product features from understanding the problem, to designing the experience, to writing the front-end code and shipping it to users. - Prototype in code: Replace static mockups with functional prototypes to validate ideas quickly and de-risk decisions with real customer feedback. - Drive design-led development: Work in a fixed-time, variable-scope environment. Focus on outcomes over outputs, partnering closely with backend and core engineering to deliver meaningful impact.

- Ship fast without sacrificing quality: Balance speed and craft. Deliver polished, production-ready experiences on tight timelines, with strong attention to detail in both design and code. - Elevate the UI architecture: Evolve our design system and component libraries so design and code stay perfectly in sync across mobile and web platforms. - Act as a force multiplier: Raise the bar for the entire design team by helping designers ship in code and integrate AI tools into their workflows—improving speed, autonomy, and technical depth across the organization. Who we’re looking for - Proven hybrid experience: You’ve shipped real products where you owned both the design and code implementation (e. g. React, Typescript, Node, Vue. js etc. ). - A builder's portfolio: You can point to live products—not just mockups—where you designed and built the experience. You likely use AI tools to prototype, iterate, and accelerate your workflow. - Strong product taste: You have a sharp eye for quality and know what makes an experience feel intuitive, fast, and delightful. - Deep technical understanding: You understand the constraints and possibilities of modern front-end development, and design accordingly—building solutions that are performant, scalable, and maintainable. - A builder mindset: You don’t wait for specs. You define problems, make decisions, and drive work to completion with minimal oversight. - Excellent communication skills : You can articulate design decisions and technical trade-offs clearly across design and engineering. - Passion for Bitcoin, financial empowerment, and the future of money.
