Job Description
This is a Product and User Interface Designer role at a digital-first fintech/crypto company. The position involves owning one product area at a time across three flagship products, designing within an existing Figma design system, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. The role requires strong visual design skills, product thinking, and experience with digital product design. The company is mid-way through a major v4 redesign with a new design system and visual language.
Overview
Apex is a Digital First company with three flagship products: a fiat and crypto finance platform, a CRM and customer communications product, and a travel-first finance product. The team is mid-way through a v4 redesign involving a new design system, a rethought information architecture, and a shift toward a cleaner, more considered visual language across mobile, web, and marketing.
This role can be assigned to any of the three products depending on where the team needs support. You will go deep on one product area rather than spreading thin across all three at once.
Responsibilities
•Own one product area from problem definition through shipped design, going deep on your assigned area rather than spreading across everything simultaneously.
•Design inside the existing Figma design system and help extend it alongside another designer on the team.
•Bring strong visual craft across typography, spacing, layout, and elevation that holds up against Apex's direction: curved, minimal, iOS-leaning, no glass morphism.
•Validate copy, flows, and interaction logic before moving to high-fidelity screens.
•Work directly with the Lead Designer, Product Managers, engineers, and other designers within cross-functional teams.
•Give and take direct feedback in critique.
Requirements
•3 to 5 years shipping digital products, ideally in fintech, banking, or crypto.
•Excellent UI, UX, and interaction design skills with exceptional attention to detail.
•High proficiency in Figma, with experience building or maintaining design systems as part of a team.
•A strong product mindset that looks past what to understand the why behind a customer or business problem.
•Experience using customer research, analytics, and experimentation to inform decisions and iterate on solutions.
•Experience writing or reviewing product copy with intention.
•Comfort with ambiguity and a fast-moving environment, balancing speed with quality and taking ownership of outcomes rather than waiting for a fully-scoped brief.
Bonus
•Experience designing for a Nigerian or African user base.
•Experience designing for a product with both personal and business account types.
What We Offer
•A high-trust, high-autonomy work environment.
•Competitive compensation and performance-based incentives.
•Private Health Insurance.
•Pension Plan.
•Paid Time Off.
•Work From Home.
•Training and Development.
•Performance Bonus.
