Job description

Department: Product  Reports To: UX Design Manager  Employment Type: Full-Time  Location: Chicago, IL – In-Person Salary: $132,000 – $160,000    About the Role tastytrade is a self-directed brokerage built for active options and futures traders, with a platform spanning web, desktop, and mobile. We're hiring a Senior Product Designer to work alongside our trading design team and significantly raise the quality of our mobile trading experience: tastytrade's largest and fastest-growing customer surface, and the area with the most direct line between focused design investment and meaningful conversion improvement. This role operates at the intersection of complex financial product design and a regulated environment where decisions carry real operational weight.  We're looking for a Senior Product Designer who understands trading, can work through genuinely hard product problems, and can operate independently alongside a PM and engineering team.
