Product Designer

About Us:

At Parafin, we’re on a mission to grow small businesses.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but traditional banks often don’t have their backs. We build tech that makes it simple for small businesses to access the financial tools they need through the platforms they already sell on.

We partner with companies like DoorDash, Amazon, Worldpay, and Mindbody to offer fast and flexible funding, spend management, and savings tools to their small business users via a simple integration. Parafin takes on all the complexity of capital markets, underwriting, servicing, compliance, and customer service for our partners.

We’re a tight-knit team of innovators hailing from Stripe, Square, Plaid, Coinbase, Robinhood, CERN, and more — all united by a passion for building tools that help small businesses succeed. Parafin is backed by prominent venture capitalists including GIC, Notable Capital, Redpoint Ventures, Ribbit Capital, and Thrive Capital. Parafin is a Series C company, and we have raised more than $194M in equity and $340M in debt facilities.

Join us in creating a future where every small business has the financial tools they need.

About the Position

We’re looking for a Product Designer to help shape how Parafin’s products look, feel, and work. You’ll partner closely with product and engineering to design thoughtful, high-quality experiences across our product suite - from early concepts to polished, production-ready flows.

This role is about more than pixels. You’ll own core user journeys end to end, explore ideas through prototyping, and bring a strong point of view on craft, usability, and visual quality. You’ll also play a key role in evolving our design culture as the team grows.

If you love untangling complex problems, care deeply about craft, and want your work to meaningfully support small businesses, you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Design end-to-end product experiences for new features and improvements across Parafin’s B2B products.

• Turn complex workflows into intuitive, elegant interfaces that feel clear and confident to users.

• Partner closely with product managers to explore ideas, design experiments, and define future product directions.

• Collaborate day-to-day with engineers to ensure designs are feasible, well-implemented, and ship as intended.

• Collaborate with user researchers to plan, synthesize, and apply insights from usability testing, customer interviews, and ongoing discovery.

• Explore and incorporate AI tools into your design workflow(e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, V0) - from research and ideation to prototyping and iteration.

• Bring a strong eye for design and visual quality, championing improvements to layout, hierarchy, typography, and interaction patterns across the product.

• Contribute to and evolve our design system - maintaining our component library and ensuring design and code stay closely aligned.

• Own projects holistically, spanning multiple product surfaces, states, edge cases, and moments across the user experience.

• Continuously raise the quality bar for design craft, usability, and execution across the product.

What We’re Searching For:

• 3-5 years of experience

• A product design generalist who’s comfortable owning UX, UI, and interaction design across complex systems.

• Experience designing consumer facing products

• Strong product thinking - you can connect user needs, business goals, and technical constraints into cohesive solutions.

• An analytical, systems-oriented mindset with the ability to simplify complexity.

• Comfort working in an iterative environment, incorporating feedback quickly and thoughtfully.

• A collaborative approach and excitement about working closely with engineering.

• Curiosity about (or hands-on experience with) AI tools in the design workflow

We Prefer If You Have:

• Experience designing products in fintech, payments, or financial tools.

• Strong data visualization or information design skills.

• Familiarity with front-end concepts and constraints.

• Experience building and maintaining design systems in Figma.
