## Job description

## About Bree

Bree is a consumer finance platform that brings better, faster, and cheaper financial services to over half the Canadian population who live paycheck to paycheck. We operate in a huge, but overlooked market in a country with the least amount of financial technology innovation in the developed world. Our first act is to become the cheapest and best provider of short-term credit to the 20 million people in Canada who live paycheck to paycheck. More than 800,000 Canadians have already signed up with Bree and we believe we are just scratching the surface. We are in an exciting place where we have product market fit, explosive growth, and a clear path to becoming one of the most important FinTechs in Canada. We have had zero voluntary employee churn. We were part of [Y Combinator](https://www.ycombinator.com/)in 2021 and raised a $2M seed round shortly after.

## About the Role

We’re looking for an Senior Product Designer to help shape the next phase of Bree’s product. This is a senior individual contributor role with significant ownership and impact. You’ll work end-to-end on core product surfaces across mobile and web, partnering closely with Product and Engineering to define problems, explore solutions, and ship meaningful improvements for our users. This role focuses on thoughtful product judgment, clear decision-making, and delivering work that meaningfully improves outcomes for our users and the business.

- Partner deeply with different stakeholders including Engineers, CX, Business to turn ambiguous ideas into scoped, high-impact releases
- Design intuitive, accessible experiences across Bree’s mobile and web products, with a strong focus on clarity, trust, and usability

- Create and evolve user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that are ready to ship
- Contribute to and help mature Bree’s design system, ensuring consistency while enabling fast iteration
- Sweat the details while keeping sight of the bigger picture, balancing speed, quality, and impact
- Advocate for our users, especially those navigating financial stress, by simplifying complexity and reducing friction
- Collaborate in design critiques and team rituals, and help raise the overall bar for design quality at Bree

## What We’re Looking For

- 3+ years of experience designing and shipping consumer digital products in fast-paced environments
- Strong end-to-end product design experience, spanning UX, interaction design, and visual design
- Proven ability to work through ambiguity and make good decisions with incomplete information
- Excellent product thinking, with a clear sense of what matters most to users and the business
- Experience working closely with engineers and understanding technical constraints and tradeoffs
- Strong visual and interaction design skills, with an eye for simplicity, hierarchy, and polish
- Comfort using data, analytics, and experimentation to validate and improve your work
- Proficiency with modern design tools like Figma
- A portfolio that demonstrates thoughtful problem-solving, real shipped work, and impact
- Working knowledge of front-end development concepts (e.g. components, state, APIs), and the ability to reason about implementation while designing

## Nice to Have

- Experience designing fintech, lending, or other financial products
- Familiarity with mobile-first products and React Native environments
- Experience contributing to or evolving a design system
- Comfort “vibe coding” or prototyping in code when helpful, to explore ideas, validate interactions, or collaborate more closely with engineers

## Core Business

## Products & Services
- **Cash Advance (Flagship)**: Interest‑free cash advances from $20 up to $750, with 0% APR. No mandatory fees or interest; users choose an optional tip. Repayment is triggered on the next payday (minimum 1 day, maximum 90 days). Offers overdraft protection.
- **Budgeting Tool**: Included in the optional monthly membership ($2.99/month after a 1‑month free trial). Provides financial insights and spending tracking.
- **Weekly Newsletter**: Financial wellness content sent to subscribers.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Over 400,000 consumers have signed up since 2021 (source: LinkedIn)

- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 54.2% YoY to 31 employees (LinkedIn). Active job postings increased 140% year‑over‑year. Expanding into new roles across engineering, product, and operations.

## Competitive Advantages
- **No‑interest, no‑fee model**: Differentiates from payday lenders and traditional overdraft services. Users only tip if they choose, keeping the service affordable.

- **Simple, fast access**: Sign up and get approved in minutes; integrated with payroll for automatic repayment.
- **Strong early traction**: 400,000+ users in a large addressable market (20M+ Canadians living paycheck‑to‑paycheck).

## Strategic Focus
- **Product expansion**: Bree positions itself as “Chime for Canada” – aiming to become a full‑service digital banking alternative. Current hiring includes ML engineers for underwriting and product managers for new features.
- **Growth**: Scaling engineering and AI capabilities (e.g., Machine Learning Engineer, Underwriting) to improve credit decisioning and personalisation.
- **Geographic reach**: Currently Canada‑focused but has remote teams in the US, Philippines, and Vietnam, suggesting interest in global talent and possibly future international expansion.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & mission**: “Customer First” and “Trust” are core values. The company aims to replace predatory payday loans with a fair, transparent service.
- **Engineering environment**: Tech stack includes modern tools (React Native, Python, Kubernetes, AWS, Snowflake, PyTorch). Teams are cross‑functional and agile.
- **Growth opportunity**: Rapid headcount growth (54% YoY) and a startup stage (Series unknown, but YC‑backed) means employees can have outsized impact.
- **Work policy**: Hybrid/remote options – roles are listed as remote (US/Canada) or Toronto/ Vancouver. Flexible working arrangements.
- **Compensation**: Salaries for engineering roles range from roughly $130K–$230K CAD (per YC job listings), competitive for Canadian fintech.
- **Benefits**: Optional $2.99/month membership for premium budgeting features; otherwise no mandatory fees. Perks mentioned: free trial, community support model.
