Founding Product Designer

This is a full-time role as a Founding Product Designer, located onsite in New York, NY.

Folks with ~1-2 year of experience looking to grow quickly in their careers are strongly encouraged to apply!

As the first design hire at Hadrius, you will own the UI/UX protecting our financial markets and will work directly with the founding team to design and build the future of the financial system from the ground floor of a hyper growth startup. As we grow, there are plenty of opportunities for leadership and we pride ourselves on having a hands off culture by having very few meetings while giving everyone a broad scope of responsibility. Work closely with an elite team of engineers from Google, Chime, Microsoft, Zynga, Ivy league universities, and founders with previous exits. You'll be on a team that works incredibly hard and seeks other exceptional people excited to do the same.
