Founding UI/UX Designer

This is a full-time role as a Founding UI/UX Designer, located onsite in New York, NY. 

As the first design hire at Hadrius, you will own the UI/UX protecting our financial markets and will work directly with the founding team to design and build the future of the financial system from the ground floor of a hyper growth startup. As we grow, there are plenty of opportunities for leadership and we pride ourselves on having a hands off culture by having very few meetings while giving everyone a broad scope of responsibility. Work closely with an elite team of engineers from Google, Chime, Microsoft, Zynga, Ivy league universities, and founders with previous exits. You'll be on a team that works incredibly hard and seeks other exceptional people excited to do the same.

Responsibilities

First week: 

• Day 1: Revamp user navigation
• Understand the core problems Hadrius solves, our ICP, our value proposition, the Hadrius platform, pricing structure, and roadmap
• Learn the Hadrius way: how we work and build for hyper growth
• Contribute to product discussions in weekly all hands
• There’s plenty of low hanging fruit, so you’ll be expected to propose a first draft for revamping the product UI/UX

First month: 

• Design and revamp Hadrius CUJs to blow prospects and customers away
• Standing out on the team in sheer contribution - give engineers a backlog of designs to implement
• Running user studies with current customers to understand their deeper pain points and fixing them

First 3 months & beyond: 

• Continuing to develop the above skillset, paying special attention to engineers output and holding them accountable to a high bar (with support from technical leadership).
• Working closely to up-skill a newly hired product manager who understand our space deeply, but lacks context on startups and tech companies
• Playing a major role in influencing the roadmap for our engineering team

About You

• Exceptionally skilled: You are highly competent as a designer, coming from 1,000s of hours of practice.
• Coachable: Open to learning the Hadrius way and raising the bar while you’re at it.
• Grit: You’re consistently the hardest working person on your team.
• All-in: This is not a 9-5. We have a massive opportunity ahead of us and are looking to multiply our engineering speed. We are optimizing for the best folks and are happy to compensate generously.
• Passion for our mission: Genuinely excited about our tech and our mission to end financial crises.
• Team-first mentality: You are interested in building for the long-term alongside founding team members, and committed to mentoring others and being mentored.
