Senior / Staff Product Designer

About Wayflyer

Today's small businesses need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.

Our technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours. To date, we've deployed over $6bn to thousands of businesses worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan.

You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world. We have offices in Dublin, London, New York, Charlotte, Berlin and Sydney.

The Challenge

Wayflyer moves fast, and the product has to keep up. We're building financial tools that businesses actually rely on - complex workflows, dense data, high stakes - and we need a designer who can make all of that feel effortless. That's a hard problem. It's also a genuinely exciting one.

We're hiring at Senior+ or Staff level depending on where you are, what you've built, and how far your influence reaches.

What You'll Actually Do

• Own complex product problems from discovery through delivery, helping define what we build, why it matters, and how success is measured
• Design end-to-end journeys, workflows, interaction models, and high-fidelity experiences across web and mobile products
• Prototype concepts early and often to explore ideas, align stakeholders, and accelerate learning
• Translate complex financial concepts, workflows, and data into intuitive and scalable user experiences
• Contribute to and evolve our design system, balancing consistency with thoughtful innovation
• Collaborate closely with engineers throughout implementation to ensure quality and thoughtful execution
• Challenge assumptions and help shape product decisions with a long-term platform mindset
• Participate in design critiques and contribute to a culture of feedback, learning, and continuous improvement
• For Staff-level candidates, help elevate design quality across teams through influence, mentorship, and strategic design leadership
