Senior Product Designer

About Numeric

Numeric is building the modern accounting & finance platform. Companies today depend on Numeric's workflow and data platform to collaborate, monitor and analyze data, and share insights about their financials.

We believe an organization with up-to-date, accurate, rich financial data is empowered to move faster and smarter. Unfortunately, the tools and systems have not been keeping up. The complexity of work and granularity of data has ballooned and old, slow software and simplistic tools only facilitate the manual work; they do little to solve the fundamental challenges of accounting and finance.

As a product-focused company, we know that a great product and engineering team can build the tools to give our users superpowers. We work to free people from the manual and the tedious, and to bring delight to their work.

Numeric is backed by Founders Fund, Menlo Ventures, IVP, 8VC, Long Journey Ventures, and others as well as founders from Ramp, Segment, and more. We just closed a 28M Series A and are growing quickly!

About the role

We're growing rapidly and are looking for a Senior Product Designer who loves crafting elegant user experiences, thrives on complex challenges, and builds in a systematic, scalable manner.

As a company that champions design as an essential differentiator, you'll be a key pillar of our team with the autonomy to own and shape design direction for the entire product experience. You'll be a force multiplier who knows how to move fast and is excited to distill complex workflows and data intensive applications into intuitive, delightful experiences. You will inform the role design plays at Numeric and how the team grows with the business.
