Senior Product Designer Trading

Department: Product  Reports To: UX Design Manager  Employment Type: Full-Time  Salary: $132,000 – $160,000    About the Role tastytrade is a self-directed brokerage built for active options and futures traders, with a platform spanning web, desktop, and mobile. We're hiring a Senior Product Designer to work alongside our trading design team and significantly raise the quality of our mobile trading experience: tastytrade's largest and fastest-growing customer surface, and the area with the most direct line between focused design investment and meaningful conversion improvement. This role operates at the intersection of complex financial product design and a regulated environment where decisions carry real operational weight.  We're looking for a Senior Product Designer who understands trading, can work through genuinely hard product problems, and can operate independently alongside a PM and engineering team. This is not a role for someone who needs a lot of scaffolding.    What You'll Do: Own design for complex trading features across web, desktop, and mobile from problem definition through ship: order flows, portfolio views, risk management tools, real-time data surfaces  Work as a peer with PMs and engineers, contributing to product direction rather than just executing it  Participate in discovery: user research, usability testing, and data review are part of how you form and defend design decisions, not an afterthought  Design for iteration: propose A/B tests, set up measurable experiments, and use results to inform the next move  Communicate design decisions clearly to designers and non-designers alike: run critiques, present rationale to leadership, align cross-functional teams  Give substantive feedback and contribute to a consistent product experience across the team  Connect your work to business outcomes: understand and be able to speak to how design affects conversion, retention, and engagement  Mentor other designers on product thinking, domain knowledge, and navigating complex problem spaces    Who You Are: 8+ years of product design experience, with at least 3 years in a regulated financial environment (trading, brokerage, crypto, banking, investing, etc)  A track record of moving metrics: you can point to specific design decisions you owned that shifted conversion, retention, or engagement, and explain how you got there  Strong mobile app design background: you have shipped native iOS or Android and understand what makes mobile a distinct design challenge  Visual craft suited to complex, high-stakes interfaces: you design for expert users who are time-pressured and low on tolerance for friction, and your work ships at the same quality it was designed  Able to drive projects forward without heavy direction: you figure out what is needed, pull in the right people, and keep things moving  Bring strong product thinking to every project: collaborate closely with PMs and engineers as a peer, ask the right questions before execution starts, push back constructively when something doesn't serve users, and know when to commit and execute   Preferred Qualifications:  Direct experience with options, futures, or equities trading products  Experience designing for crypto trading or other emerging asset classes  Familiarity with real-time data, high-density interfaces and the constraints they create   Company Perks + Benefits:  Performance Bonuses  Stock Purchase Options  Medical/Vision/Dental Benefits  401k Plan  20 Paid Vacation Days (plus an additional paid vacation day the month of your birthday!)  10 Paid Sick Days  Gym Membership Reimbursement  Commuter Benefits  Pet Insurance  Wellness & Mental Health Programs  Charitable Donation Matching  Two Paid Volunteer Days Off  Daily catered lunch when in the office  Full kitchen with snacks and beverages  In-building gym  Shuttle to/from Metra  Discretionary Performance Bonus: 8-12% of base salary based on individual and company performance.   About...
