They are seeking a Lead Product Designer to join their Identity Team, where the role involves architecting critical systems that enhance user experience and unify workflows.

Responsibilities

• Transforming Chaos into Order: Circle is transforming from a startup to a mature tech organization. You will audit existing, fragmented workflows and unify them into a cohesive platform experience
• Unified Identity: You will design how users experience Roles, Permissions, and Team Management, taking complex logic and making it intuitive for admins and end-users alike
• Centralized Billing Infrastructure: You will design a scalable billing and subscription experience that unifies how customers pay for different parts of the Circle ecosystem
• Security meets UX: You will tackle high-stakes flows like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), SSO setup, and account recovery, ensuring that security never comes at the expense of usability

Skills

• Platform & Systems Experience: You have a proven track record working on platform teams, internal tools, or design systems. You understand the difference between designing a feature and designing a framework
• Exceptional UI & Visual Design Skills: Your portfolio demonstrates a mastery of typography, color, layout, and hierarchy. You care deeply about 'fit and finish' and pixel perfection
• Complexity Wrangling: You are not intimidated by technical complexity. You can take a messy requirements document regarding permissions or enterprise billing and turn it into a clean, logical UI
• Component-Based Thinking: You are an expert in Figma. You don't just draw screens; you build scalable components using auto-layout, variables, and variants that other designers can easily consume
• Strategic Communication: As a Lead, you can articulate the 'why' behind your design decisions. You are comfortable presenting to leadership and negotiating with engineering partners to maintain design quality
• Empathy for Internal & External Users: You understand that your 'users' are both the customers of Circle and the internal developers and designers who have to build with your tools
