About Bitgo

BitGo provides the most secure and scalable solutions for the digital asset economy to investors and builders alike. Backed by Redpoint.

About the role

This role will require being full-time onsite at our Palo Alto office to support collaborative team dynamics and innovative problem-solving. BitGo is looking for a design leader who still designs. You will manage and mentor the design team, own the design system, and sit next to the Chief Product Officer on business strategy.

What they're looking for

  • Experience leading design in financial services. Digital assets, or another domain of genuinely complex technical flows, strongly preferred
  • You have built and owned a design system at scale, not just used one
  • 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
  • Deep in UX. Strong product thinking, logical reasoning, and decisions grounded in data rather than taste alone
  • 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
