The Role

At LearnLux, you will build a product that changes lives. Our mission is to empower people to take control of their financial future, whether that means getting out of debt, buying their first home, or preparing for retirement. As a Senior Product Designer & Builder, you'll shape that mission by defining how people experience our platform: the flows they navigate, the decisions they're guided through, and the moments where complexity becomes clarity.

This is not a traditional design role where you wait for product requirements. You're an autonomous IC who owns the entire product lifecycle, from early discovery and research through polished UI, roadmap advocacy, and built-in-code prototypes. You bridge the gap between thinking and doing, using AI as leverage to move from an idea to a validated, shippable solution in record time.

We are an agile product team, and this role is broad by design. You'll own research, design, prototyping, and systems thinking across our product. We'll prioritize together, and you won't be expected to do everything at once, but you should be energized by the range, not daunted by it. If you're excited by broad ownership, high impact, and the opportunity to shape how millions of people engage with their financial lives, we'd love to meet you.

What you’ll do

• Own the Full Design Loop. Move fluidly between rough sketches, functional prototypes, and high-fidelity flows. You take responsibility for the softer elements of design and UX: understanding mental models, brainstorming solutions, and rapid testing.
• Lead Continuous Discovery. Run lightweight, ongoing user research. Recruit participants, conduct rapid tests, and synthesize qualitative signals into actionable product decisions. You maintain a continuous discovery cadence so the team always has fresh evidence to build on.
• Use AI as a Force Multiplier. Use modern AI tools to accelerate your workflow: transcribing interviews, extracting themes, prototyping ideas, and turning qualitative data into clear insights. You treat AI as leverage, not a shortcut.
• Shape the Roadmap. You won’t just execute on someone else’s vision. Use evidence-based conclusions to advocate for user needs, influence product direction, and ensure initiatives are followed through to implementation.
• Build Shoulder-to-Shoulder. Work closely with engineering, analytics, product leads, and our co-founders. You’d rather hash things out in a live working session than lea
