Manager, Product Design
Bullish is seeking a Senior Product Designer with deep expertise in trading platforms to own end-to-end design of our exchange products. You'll design the complex, real-time tools that traders rely on daily. You have lived and breathed trading products —requiring fluency in order books, execution flows, market data visualization, and professional workflows. You'll have outsized impact on product strategy, user trust, and Bullish's competitive positioning in crypto. Designing the tools that traders rely on every day to navigate digital asset markets. These problems are genuinely hard, complex UX workflows, in one of the fastest-moving and most interesting markets in the world. Your domain expertise will be just as important as your craft.
AI/LLM integration is core to how we design. We're building an AI-native design culture, and you'll help shape that evolution. Every designer on our team uses AI tools daily—not as an experiment, but as a fundamental part of our workflow. We're looking for someone already fluent in tools like Claude (Cowork, Design, and Code), OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini, or similar—someone who has integrated these tools into their actual practice and has a point of view on where AI-assisted design is headed.
Own end-to-end design of complex, data-rich trading interfaces. From spot and derivatives trading, portfolio management, order entry, and market analysis tools—you'll make powerful functionality feel intuitive without oversimplifying.
Translate deep understanding of trading workflows into strategic design decisions. Work directly with Product Managers and Engineers to define what we build, not just how it looks. Your domain expertise will make you a strategic partner, not just an executor.
Leverage AI tools daily to accelerate design workflows—rapid prototyping with AI, LLM-powered research synthesis, generating design variations at scale, and building design-to-code workflows. Push the boundaries of what's possible, not just check boxes.
Ship end-to-end: from problem framing and user research through high-fidelity design, prototyping, developer handoff, and visual QA. Own quality through production.
Partner with Product, Engineering, and data teams on strategy, prioritization, and tradeoff decisions grounded in user insight and market understanding.
Evolve our design system with components and patterns built for trading data tables, charts, order entry, and real-time data displays—ensuring consistency and scalability across the platform.
Champion trader insights internally. Bring user research, competitive analysis, and domain knowledge to every product conversation.
Contribute to the development and evolution of design processes, libraries, and best practices—including AI integration playbooks.
5+ years designing complex, data-driven products with significant experience on trading platforms, exchange products, or professional financial tools. This is a core requirement, not negotiable.
Deep, fluent domain expertise in trading and exchange products. You should understand order types, market microstructure, liquidity, charting, portfolio analytics, and professional trader workflows. Ideally, you've used these products yourself.
Daily, demonstrated use of AI/LLM tools in your design practice. Show us in your portfolio or in conversation: How has Claude, Gemini, Figma AI, or similar tools changed the way you design? We want to see integration, not experiments. Experience with Claude (especially Design/Code products) or equivalent is preferred.
High agency. You don't wait for perfect briefs or complete information. You identify what matters, make decisions, and move. When you hit blockers, you find a way around them.
A strong portfolio of shipped trading or financial products that demonstrates your ability to handle complexity, density, and real-time data without sacrificing usability or craft.
Case studies showing your complete design process—from research and ideation through validation and outcomes.
Systems thinking. You see how individual features connect to the broader product ecosystem and design holistically across workflows.
Expert-level Figma skills and experience with modern prototyping tools.
Excellent communication and storytelling. You can articulate design rationale to Engineers, Product Managers, leadership, and traders in language each audience understands.
Proven ability to influence stakeholders and advocate for design decisions backed by research and user insight.
Experience working in Agile environments and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams across global time zones.
Ability to work efficiently in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. You drive clarity rather than wait for it.
Results-oriented, adaptable, and passionate about creative problem-solving. You're collaborative, positive, and genuinely passionate about resolving user pain points through thoughtful design.
Bullish is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are fast evolving and striving towards being a globally-diverse community. With integrity at our core, our success is driven by a talented team of individuals and the different perspectives they are encouraged to bring to work every day.
