Role details
Job description
About Saris
Saris builds AI-powered workflow agents that automate and augment back-office operations for banks and credit unions. Our products live inside highly regulated, high-stakes environments where accuracy, trust, and explainability matter as much as speed. We design for complex systems, real operators, and long-term impact—not flashy demos.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who thrives in complexity. You’ll lead design across core product areas, turning messy workflows, legacy systems, and regulatory constraints into clear, usable, and trustworthy experiences. This is a hands-on role with real ownership and influence over product direction.
You’ll work closely with the co-founders, product managers, and engineers to shape how banks and credit unions interact with AI workflow agents, often for users who are not technical, but domain experts.
What You’ll Do
- Own end-to-end design for major product surfaces: discovery, flows, interaction models, and visual systems
- Design interfaces for enterprise software and complex, multi-step workflows
- Translate banking and operations requirements into intuitive user experiences
- Collaborate with PMs to define problems, scope solutions, and make trade-offs
- Work closely with engineering to ensure high-quality execution
- Design for trust, transparency, and control in AI-driven systems
- Create and maintain design systems, patterns, and documentation as the product scales
- Participate in user research, usability testing, and iterative refinement with real customers
What We’re Looking For
- 6+ years of product design experience, with significant time in enterprise or B2B software
- Proven experience designing complex systems (e.g. dashboards, workflows, admin tools, regulated products)
- Ability to understand and synthesize user problems
- Strong interaction design and information architecture skills
- Experience working closely with engineering in fast-moving product teams
- Ability to balance user needs, technical constraints, and business goals
- Comfortable designing for ambiguity and evolving requirements
- Strong portfolio demonstrating problem-solving depth, not just visual polish
Nice to Have
- Experience in fintech, banking, payments, or regulated industries
- Experience designing AI-powered or automation products
- Familiarity with data-heavy interfaces and operational tooling
- Experience contributing to or leading a design system
Why work at Saris
- Mission-driven: “Support the backbone of the US economy & community” – work that directly improves how financial institutions serve their communities.
- Culture highlights: “High performance + high care” – a high bar for output combined with mutual support. Operating principles include clarity, ownership, accountability, and customer obsession.
- Hybrid / remote flexibility: Employees work in a hybrid model (typical time on-site varies by role). Offices in San Francisco, Canada (multiple), and Qatar. Several roles listed as remote or in-office/remote.
- Engineering culture: Tackle complex AI agentic systems with long-context reasoning, multi-turn tool orchestration, and strict compliance loops. Small, fast-moving team (30 people) with significant ownership.
- Growth opportunity: Early-stage (Pre-Seed) with rapid headcount growth, offering potential for impact and career advancement.
