## Job description

## About PactFi

Private asset markets (PE, Private Credit, VC, Real Estate) have 10x to 9.8T in AUM over the past decade and are projected to grow to $17T in the next five years. However, digital infrastructure has not kept pace, with most of the market operating predominantly in error-prone, internal-only software solutions.

PactFi provides secure, end-to-end, operational infrastructure for managing complex private credit transactions. Our web-based application brings together all parties involved in such a transaction to more efficiently allocate capital, complete KYC, share documents, manage funds flow, and more. The platform is secured to a bank-grade standard, and we have received our SOC 2 Type 2 attestation.

PactFi was developed in close partnership with two of the industry's largest players, both of whom represent the top 3 players in the private credit space by both size (AUM) and deal activity.

## THE DESIGN PROBLEM

- Product is moving from a screen-first build model, where the underlying system is designed first and the interface follows.
- Today's product is fully deterministic, human-driven screens. You'd help define, from scratch, what this platform looks like as AI becomes a first-class part of it — AI agents as a new type of participant alongside human users, and AI as a new interaction modality for human users themselves.
- Workflows are tied to assets that can live 5–7 years, resurfacing repeatedly at different cadences over that lifetime, with multiple parties holding different views and permissions each time.
- Clients regularly bring new deal and asset structures the platform hasn't seen before, so the product has to accommodate structural variation it can't fully anticipate.
- Permissioning is layered — participants often have their own downstream stakeholders who need visibility into a subset of the same information.
- A point of view on how AI is reshaping what a "product" is — where a great interface is still needed versus where the underlying data itself, exposed well, is becoming the product — is a plus.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own one or two major product surfaces end-to-end — from problem framing through shipped, polished detail.
- Design and ship the platform's first real AI-native interaction pattern in an otherwise fully deterministic product — no existing pattern to extend from.
- Design for dense, structured financial data at scale, and for multi-party, long-running workflows with layered permissions.
- Work closely with the PM and engineers on your surface to develop the strategy and rationale behind what you build, not just execute a spec.
- Contribute to and help shape a design system built for extensibility across evolving workflows and asset structures.
- Set an example in critique and day-to-day work for how design is done here — the work itself is the signal, not a title or mandate.

## WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE

- Prior experience in product design roles shipping software to users, working closely with cross-functional teams on the strategy and rationale for features, not just executing handed-off specs.
- Real, hands-on experience designing AI-native interaction patterns, or clear fluency and specific examples of exploring them — not just general enthusiasm.
- Comfort designing for dense, data-heavy interfaces, not just typical consumer-style layouts.
- An outstanding portfolio with case studies showing typography, interaction, and visual design craft, plus product sense and idea generation.
- Comprehensive experience using prototyping to explore and convey design solutions.
- Excellent written, verbal, and storytelling skill.

## What We Offer

- Competitive salary + equity.
- Healthcare coverage.
- 401k
