Senior UX Designer London, England
Job description
Who we are:
At TrueLayer, we're creating a payments network that better connects banks, businesses and everybody. And we're going big. We're taking on cards with a payment method that's actually designed for the online, on-demand world we live in. Removing friction from the most crucial part of commerce: the payment.
To date, we've raised $270 million from world-renowned investors including Stripe, Tiger Global, Addition and Tencent. We've got offices in London, Milan and Dublin. And we're trusted by industry leaders like Revolut, Coinbase and Nutmeg… though we're not stopping here.
We're on a mission to change the way the world pays, invests, shops and saves. To transform how people approach payments. To build a brand that redefines an entire industry — and we'd like your help to get us there. So what do you say?
Description
At TrueLayer we believe that bridging the gap between engineering and design is the best way to build frictionless products. That's why our designers, researchers, developers, and PMs consistently collaborate (think less "silo", more "free flow"). So, from end-user interfaces to our developer Console, there's no problem that we can't tackle at scale with intuitive, user-centric, beautiful design.
We're looking for passionate designers to join our Product Development organisation and build end-to-end product experiences. As a designer embedded in a product team, you will mentor both product managers and engineers on UX/UI best practices, and promote a user-centric approach to the products you're building.
You will also have the opportunity to align with other peers in the Design community and to gain familiarity with the latest tools, processes and technologies, as well using a brand new, cutting-edge Design System we've built in-house.
As a Senior UX Designer you will:
- Work closely with PMs and developers as part of the Product Development organisation
- Challenge product briefs and always drive decision making to build better experiences
- Conduct research, competitor analysis and usability testing
- Spec optimal user journeys and product functionalities
- Design vertical interfaces that fit with our overall platform offering
- Create wireframes, graphic mock-ups and prototypes for all devices (responsive design)
- Consume our Design System library and contribute to its evolution
- Sit with developers to do pixel-perfect reviews of frontend products before they are pushed in production
- Create decks, guidelines, docs and other design materials needed to support the product commercially
- Collaborate with other designers and advocate for design consistency
Requirements
What you need to demonstrate:
- Have strong experience building products
- Ability to solve problems of complexity through smart design
- Specific experience in a fast growing Fintech/API/SaaS company
- Being data-driven, and be able to back up your assertions with data
- A user-first attitude and ensure we consistently deliver a user-centric culture
- Strong understanding of web grids and browser limitations
- Experience designing for iOS and Android
- Familiarity with usability testing methods
- Ability to follow design processes to keep alignment with the overall design org
- Experience working with Design Systems
- Experience working in an agile environment as part of a product team

- Experience with accessibility best practices
- Experience with SDKs
