About the role
Today, payroll platforms rely on archaic, utilitarian software to process payroll for thousands of businesses and ensure hundreds of thousands of workers are paid correctly and on time. Their work is high-stakes and deeply personal for each and every worker they pay, but the tools supporting them are stuck in the past, and make the process unnecessarily complex. This critical infrastructure in their business feels more like an operational obstacle than a product designed to help them succeed.
What they're looking for
- 6–10+ years of experience in product design, UX/UI research, UX/UI design, or a similar role designing complex software or infrastructure products
- Strong UX instincts and the ability to simplify complex systems, workflows, and data-heavy interfaces
- Experience designing workflow-driven products or operational software (fintech, developer tools, enterprise platforms, or similar)
- A portfolio demonstrating strong systems thinking, elevated visual design taste, and judgment around AI application
- Experience collaborating closely with engineering teams and designing within technical constraints
- Ability to independently drive ambiguous design problems from discovery through shipped product
More about this role
Payroll is broken. It's still running on decades-old infrastructure. We're rebuilding it.
