About the role

Core sits in Foundation, Deel's top design priority for the coming year. You will work on Home, which spans the whole platform, and on a new, broad initiative. You will set direction and work across the company.

What you are expected to do

• Own design for Home and the new platform-wide initiative.

• Set direction rather than wait for it; move between Core areas as priorities change.

• Work with people across the org, from US sales to risk and compliance.

• Act as a key partner to PM and Engineering leads in defining the roadmap: what gets built, why and when.

• Connect multiple domains and keep the product experience coherent and consistent.

• Mentor Senior Designers and help with hiring: recruit from your network, interview and raise the bar.

• Switch context fast, solve the problem and make decisions on your own.

• Ship at speed, then keep iterating.

What you need to succeed

• Staff-level product design experience across broad, ambiguous areas.

• At least 10 years of experience leading end-to-end product design for web and/or mobile applications.

• Strong UX and UI expertise, with a history of working with, implementing or scaling design systems.

• A track record of cross-functional alignment: explaining complex strategy to leadership and managing stakeholder expectations.

• Full-cycle design ownership, from ideation and strategy to implementation and design QA.

• Very high craft and a portfolio with a wow effect. A portfolio with at least one case study is required.

• AI is your first tool, before Figma or a doc.

• You are a builder, mature and autonomous, comfortable in chaos.

A plus

• You can push your work to production.

• Personal projects.

• Experience at fast-moving product companies such as Uber, Revolut or Coinbase, or on products like Notion or Linear.

Design and AI at Deel

Deel looks for designers who actively experiment with AI: improving design workflows, prototyping faster, exploring new interaction patterns or shaping AI-powered product experiences. If you have worked on AI features or used AI tools in your design process, show it in your portfolio.

What you get

• Broad, platform-wide scope at a pre-IPO company, with RSUs.

• Fully remote, async-friendly work, a strong design team and a career ladder.

• Optional access to WeWork spaces, plus extra benefits depending on your employment status and country.
