Senior Product Designer
Job Summary
About the opportunity
Were looking for a Senior Product Designer to join N26s UX team in our Grow and Engage domain. There are a couple of areas within the domain where were adding design strength and well match you to the right one based on your background and what youre drawn to.
In this role youll lead end-to-end design for some of the most consequential parts of the N26 experience: how millions of customers discover use and get the most out of their account day after day. Youll report to our Head of UX and work in a tight cross-functional team of product engineering research and data partners.
We believe our teams diversity is our strength. The more perspectives at the table the better. Please apply regardless of your identity experience or background.
About the work
The Grow and Engage domain is where we shape how customers get genuine lasting value from N26. It covers a broad slice of the core product the moments that bring customers back to their day-to-day banking the features that build habits and surface real value and the way our paid tiers turn into something subscribers actively feel.
The work spans the home screen in-app discovery recommendations and AI-powered insights the cross-cutting patterns that pull the whole product together and our Smart Go and Metal subscription tiers where the opportunity is to weave value through the product rather than bolt it on. Youll have meaningful scope to shape both how we package what we have today and what comes next.
Youll be designing for a fintech product used by millions in a category where customers expectations have been shaped by some of the best digital products in the world. The bar is high and the work matters.
What youll do
- Own end-to-end design for important workstreams within your segment from problem framing through research exploration and shipped work.
- Bring a high bar for craft UI and interaction design that delights customers and converts.
- Frame design problems sharply: define user needs success criteria constraints and tradeoffs before jumping into solutions.
- Move between projects as priorities evolve knowing when to go deep and when to pivot based on what youre learning.
- Lift the craft and rigour of designers around you through critique mentorship and the standard you set in your own work.
- Drive consistency across your segment contributing to and improving our design system and creating patterns the rest of the team can build on.
- Be data-informed: Collaborate on research that blends qualitative and quantitative methods and proactively seek out the data you need when it isnt on the table.
- Partner closely with product engineering research and data to ship work that actually lands and to take it further once its live.
- Use AI tools fluently as part of your design practice for exploration prototyping synthesis and to accelerate the parts of the work that benefit from acceleration.
What were looking for
- You raise the bar through your own work. The standard you set in what you ship is the most powerful tool you have for lifting the team around you and you treat it that way.
- You think in systems. You see the connections between siloed parts of a product and you design for the experience as a whole not just the screen in front of you.
- You understand problems before you solve them. Youre rigorous about understanding the real problem the real user and the real constraints before committing to a direction.
- You ship. You move fast prototype to learn and resist the pull of polishing in isolation. Youd rather get something in front of users this week than perfect it for a month.
- Youre comfortable with AI in your practice. Youre curious about how AI is reshaping design and product and you actively use AI tools to extend what you can do.
- You bring others with you. You give sharp useful feedback that lifts the teams thinking not just the pixels.
Youre a good fit if you have
- A strong portfolio showing end-to-end product design work on complex consumer products ideally mobile ideally at scale.
- A track record of leading design across multiple workstreams or feature areas not just one.
- Experience working with and contributing to a design system at production scale.
- Experience grounding decisions in research and data and proactively seeking them out when theyre not available.
- Experience mentoring or stepping up the craft of designers around you.
- Strong written and verbal communication you can make the case for your work to product engineering leadership and customers.
(Please note that we can only consider applications with a portfolio in English.)
How we work
- We pair tightly with PM and engineering to develop delightful scalable solutions.
- Hands-on leadership managers still design.
- AI is a real ongoing part of how we work across design tooling prototyping and product. We expect everyone on the team to be fluent and curious here.
- We ship and we ship often. We learn from whats live as much as from whats in Figma.
