About the Role:
Meridian is a new team within AngelList, focused on building wealth products for the growing class of self-directed investors who want access to private markets without working through traditional wealth advisors.
As the Product Designer for Meridian, you’ll own the zero-to-one design work required to take a new product to market. That means talking directly with customers, turning insights into elegant design solutions, and collaborating closely with product and engineering to ensure underlying systems are cohesive as we iterate. Just as important, you’ll need to set a high bar for visual and interaction design — making private markets intuitive, engaging, and delightful to use.
You’ll enjoy this role if you thrive in ambiguity, love building zero-to-one products, and are excited to give investors new ways to participate in private markets.
\n- Design new products and features that open private markets to self-directed investors
- Talk regularly with customers, using research and insights to clarify problems and drive great design solutions
- Prototype and explore concepts that broaden the team’s imagination and guide better product decisions
- Partner with product to evolve and communicate Meridian’s vision through design
- Collaborate with engineering to make sure what we’re shipping to customers meets our high standards
- Have 7 years of experience designing consumer facing products in complex domains
- Thrive in 0→1 environments, bringing clarity and creativity to ambiguous problem spaces
- Want to design experiences that make private markets more accessible and intuitive for investors
- Regularly talk to customers and use research to drive design decisions
- Hold a very high bar for craft, quality, and consistency across every detail of the experience
