You’ll design core product experiences end-to-end—from problem framing and flows to prototypes, visual design, and production polish. You’ll collaborate closely with Head of Design (Chris Zachary), CEO/Co-founder (Gabriel Stengel), and engineers who care deeply about building a great product. You will also help establish Rogo’s design culture, standards, and systems.
We believe that the product layer is critical to winning this market, and with that - creating a product that our users actually love is a massive opportunity to differentiate in institutional finance.
We don’t require any formal experience, education, or even knowledge of the finance world. What we are looking for is enthusiasm & evidence of caring about solving very difficult problems with design & product. You should feel a compulsive need to make things, and a rabid curiosity to learn and try new things. Side projects, prototypes, rough figmas, experiments all go a long way to demonstrate this enthusiasm.
Thoughtful care and attention to detail for visual polish and delight. A love for shipping at high velocity. Systems thinker who has worked on open-ended problems, not just point solution feature flows. Understand the complexities and challenges of designing a flexible system across a platform. Know when to be scrappy & when to spend time on polish. Get into the weeds with engineers and understand technical constraints. Ability to code in React/tailwindcss is not required, but very helpful. You should be familiar & comfortable in html/css and ready to learn React/Tailwind. A natural prototyper: don’t just design static mocks. Try it and see how it feels is one of the best ways to design and iterate for uncertainty. Help us get to “try it” as quickly as possible. Use AI tools, Figma, code, or pencil & paper - whatever fidelity is needed for each scenario. Ability to maintain multiple projects and prioritize effectively. Experience in product design at startup.
Bonus: Frontend development experience (React + TailwindCSS). Experience in designing B2B / commercial environment. Understanding of the financial services landscape (investment banking, PE, hedge funds). Located in NYC or ability to relocate.
Who You Are: You thrive in fast-paced environments. You are high-intensity and care a lot about what you do, and you're ecstatic to work at a startup. You are ambitious. You have fun solving problems that others think are impossible. You are curious. You find joy in learning about AI, technology, and finance. You are an owner. You are autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable working with ambiguity. You are collaborative, organized, thoughtful, and kind.
Why Join Rogo? Exceptional traction: strong PMF with the world's largest investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms. World-class team: we take talent density seriously. We like working with incredibly smart, driven people. Velocity: we work fast, which means you learn a lot and constantly take on more. Frontier technology: we're developing cutting-edge AI systems, pushing the boundaries of reinforcement learning and published research, redefining what's possible, and inventing the future.
