Role Overview

This is a full-time role to be a Senior Product Designer, located onsite in New York, NY.

Design @ Hadrius

Like many other fields in tech, how design teams operate is shifting dramatically. That means Figma is being used less and less, while agents are being used more and more. Counter-intuitively though, this means that designers with hard-skills (light coding, speed, design craft) are needed more than ever. At Hadrius, we’re leaning into this:

  1. Design is integrated into the codebase, with engineers
  2. The feedback loop on designs is very fast (24 hours is a long time!)
  3. mercury.com sets the bar for us on craft and design excellence

As a Senior Product Designer at Hadrius, you’ll be expected to raise the bar on these ideas.

What You'll Do & Your Impact Timeline

Within your first week:

  1. Get a walkthrough of the platform, Figma files, and Design system from our Founding Product Designer, Anushriya.
  2. Get your coding environment set up (IDE, coding agent, MCPs, etc.).
  3. Lead your first customer call to gain firsthand insight into user challenges.
  4. Dive deep into a core module of the Hadrius platform to understand its current state.
  5. Get up to speed on our core problem, ideal customer profile (ICP), value proposition, and product roadmap.

Within your first month:

  1. Ship your first major design project, setting a new bar for quality and user-centricity.
  2. Create, document, and begin implementing the Hadrius Design System to accelerate our product development velocity.
  3. Establish the core design rituals and processes (critiques, user research cadence, etc.) that will allow us to scale.
  4. Become the go-to partner for the CTO on product strategy, roadmap planning, and defining what we build next.

Within your first 3 months and beyond:

  1. Own the end-to-end design of complex, ambiguous, 0-to-1 product initiatives.
  2. Scale the design function and play a key role in hiring future members of the team
  3. Act as the primary voice of the customer in strategic conversations, ensuring user needs drive company priorities.
  4. Visibly raise the bar for product quality across the entire company, holding engineering and product accountable for delivering exceptional user experiences.

About You

  1. A Master of Your Craft: You are a highly competent and seasoned designer. Your portfolio demonstrates strategic, systems-level thinking and exceptional visual and interaction design skills. With many years of experience, you have both breadth and depth.
  2. Strategic Partner & Mentor: You don't just execute on a vision; you help create it. You are a player-coach who elevates the work of everyone around you.
  3. Thrives in Ambiguity: You are energized by complex, loosely defined problems and have a track record of creating clarity and direction from chaos.
  4. All-In: This is not a 9-5. You understand that building a category-defining company requires immense focus and commitment. We are optimizing for the best, and we compensate generously for it.
  5. Strategic Ownership: You take complete ownership of the user experience and its impact on the business, from high-level strategy down to the individual pixels on the screen.

Qualifications

  1. 6+ years of professional experience in Product Design, with a portfolio/experience showcasing your work on complex, shipped products.
  2. Proven experience leading the design of products from 0-to-1 or navigating significant product redesigns.
  3. Experience building and maintaining design systems that accelerate development.
  4. An expert communicator who can articulate design strategy and rationale to engineers, executives, and customers with equal clarity.
  5. Deep proficiency in Figma and other modern design and prototyping tools.
  6. (Preferred) Experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise software and fintech.

Benefits & Perks

  1. Competitive salary and a significant equity package.
  2. 401(k) with 100% match up to 6%.
  3. Premium healthcare, dental, and vision insurance.
  4. The opportunity to build the design function and culture at a world-class company.
  5. 18k/yr housing stipend if you live near the office / lower manhattan
