Job Description

Join BitGo, a leading digital asset financial services company, as the Head of Design. In this role, you will lead the design team, shape the design strategy, and drive the adoption of a design system across product teams. You will also be involved in upstream product and engineering discussions, establish UX and systems thinking as a practice across the organization, and represent design internally and externally. The position offers competitive compensation, stock options, and a range of benefits.

  • Assumer la responsabilité de la conception de surfaces et de la qualité du travail de l'équipe de conception.
  • Investir dans la croissance de chaque designer, en fournissant des retours d'information spécifiques et en les aidant à atteindre le niveau suivant.
  • Représenter le design dans les conversations stratégiques et promouvoir l'expérience client.
  • Experience leading design in financial services. Digital assets, or another domain of genuinely complex technical flows, strongly preferred
  • You want the mandate. Turning a technical, compliance-heavy platform into a design-led one is the appeal, not the obstacle
  • Deep in UX. Strong product thinking, logical reasoning, and decisions grounded in data rather than taste alone
  • Hands-on in Figma and a role model for craft. You are shipping design work today, not describing work you shipped four years ago. You can sit in a critique and give feedback that is specific enough to act on
  • Direct communicator. You can hold a position with a Chief Product Officer, an engineering lead, or a client, and change your mind when the argument is better
  • You have managed designers and made them better. You care about how the team is doing, not only what it ships
  • Technically literate. Comfortable with APIs, data models, and engineering trade-offs
  • You have built and owned a design system at scale, not just used one
  • Regulated environments: broker-dealer, trust company, bank, or qualified custodian
  • Experience with complex permissioning, approval workflows, or multi-entity account structures
  • Design leadership at a company that went through the same shift you would lead here
