Senior Product Designer, Craft & Systems

Department: Product

Reports To: UX Design Manager

Employment Type: Full-Time

Location: Chicago, IL – In-Person

Salary : $132,000 – $160,000

About the Role

tastytrade is a self-directed brokerage built for active options and futures traders, with a platform spanning web, desktop, and mobile. In order to meet the demands of our product's growth, we're hiring a Senior Product Designer to drive foundational elements: build the token architecture, component system, and craft standards the whole organization moves on. This is foundational work with platform-wide impact in a regulated financial environment where design decisions carry operational weight alongside UX tradeoffs.

We're looking for someone who leads with craft and thinks in systems. You'll work across our core platform, raise the craft bar across the team, and help build the design foundation that lets us scale quickly without accumulating debt.

What You'll Do:

• Own design execution across the core platform (web, desktop, and mobile) from early discovery through production handoff

• Set and hold a high craft standard across the team: precise visual execution, complete interaction states, clear information hierarchy, and appropriate motion. When you review work, you give specific feedback with a clear rationale, not general impressions

• Build and maintain design system foundations: shared token layer, component architecture, usage guidelines, and the conventions that keep the platform feeling coherent as it scales

• Partner with engineering on implementation quality: you care how the product shows up to real customers, not just whether the Figma file was polished before handoff

• Establish shared navigational conventions and design standards that vertical product teams build within
