Washington, Washington, D.C., United States Tight Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Job Title

Senior Product Designer

Job Description

The Tight Embedded Accounting HQ is in Washington, DC, in the renowned Dupont Circle neighborhood, directly across the street from the Dupont Circle Metro Station. We are in our high-energy office 5 days a week, and we're looking to bring on a Design leader who embraces the opportunity to collaborate with high-trajectory teammates in our HQ. Tight is growing at a rapid pace, with 50% year-over-year employee growth, and we're looking for a leader who not only embraces the growth but also is excited by the amount of change that comes with this growth.

Many financial technology (FinTech) platforms are building products that leverage Tight's Embedded Accounting UIs, APIs and SDKs; over 1.3M users are leveraging said products. Tight's team aids these FinTechs in how to leverage its Embedded UI, APIs and SDKs to build these products. Tight's Customer Partnerships team interfaces directly with the FinTech's product/engineering teams, soliciting and obtaining critical product feedback that drives the direction of Tight's products.

While Tight is a product-led organization, Tight's engineering leaders (CTO, Head of API, Head of Embedded UI) have historically owned all aspects of Tight's products, including design, direction, and delegation to engineers. Now, Tight is creating a Product/Design operation, which will encapsulate the following areas:

  • Product design and hand-off

  • Creating, aiding in implementation of, reviewing, and iterating user experiences

  • Designing products such that they are as efficient/easy to use as possible for the given persona

    • Business owners
    • Bookkeepers (very different persona from business owner)
    • Hand-off and coordination with engineering team (80% of Tight's team is engineering)
    • Research
  • Keeping up to date with industry/product standards, including from legacy accounting platforms

  • Staying ahead of industry leaders with products that intersect with a Tight feature
  • Customer understanding

  • Understanding and internalizing the personas of Tight's end users

  • Working with our Customer Partnerships team to address user/product/design-level needs

We're looking for an enthusiastic, quick, and passionate leader who is (or will quickly become) an expert at:

  • Adopting the latest AI technology
  • Working with Tight's Product Lead to design innovative user experiences (workflows), starting with wireframes
  • Taking AI-generated wireframes and turning them into UI within Tight's design language
  • Coordinating with Tight's Customer-Partners to develop new UIs that match the CP's product
  • Collaborating in real-time with Tight Engineering for development hand-off/iteration
  • Designing towards a future of Agentic Accounting, including new AI-first features leveraging Tight MCP
  • Furthering Tight's design language to keep up with industry best practices
  • Owning design function as a whole (being the final decision maker re: design)

Qualifications

The following qualifications should help build confidence in the ability to grow into the above responsibilities:

  • 3 to 10 years of experience in product/app design, using component hierarchies
  • 2+ years of experience managing overall design for a software product
  • Experience coordinating with high-growth team members in addition to liaising with leaders
  • Strong writing skills

Importantly, at Tight, we are looking to utilize your existing skills to improve and build new products, and then the sky's the limit responsibility/growth-wise based on where your skill development and interests lead.
