Senior Product Designer - Australia (6-month contract)

Syfe is APAC's largest and fastest-growing digital wealth platform, trusted with over US$15 billion in assets. We are fundamentally changing how hundreds of thousands of people across Asia-Pacific build wealth through a holistic approach to managing money rather than just pushing investment products. Backed by world-class investors and recognised as a leader in WealthTech, we are a team of passionate builders creating the future of wealth management.

About the role

This is a 6-month contract role. You'll hit the ground running from your first week, working directly with product managers and engineering on a large product surface. We need someone who can ramp up fast, frame problems quickly, and leave behind work and patterns the team keeps building on after you've gone.

This is a hybrid role, with 3 days in the Melbourne office.

The Right Profile

- You ramp up fast. You get to grips with a current domain, product and team in your first few weeks, and start shipping soon after.
- You frame before you design. Handed a problem, you quickly clarify what success means, the real constraints and what's out of scope, and align with your PM and engineers on it.
- You think things through without being hand-held. You go deep on a problem, anticipate edge cases, error and empty states before anyone asks, and hand over designs that hold up in the build.
- You work hand in hand with product managers and engineering, breaking the work into short, achievable milestones that fit inside six months.
- You bring strong craft and judgement, and make the speed-versus-quality trade-off deliberately instead of discovering it at the deadline.
- You use AI to build highly polished,



working prototypes that engineering can use as a starting point for the build, not just a reference to recreate.
- You don't have a fixed design process. You adapt it to the problem in hand and get your hands dirty beyond design – content, research, funnels, metrics.

Key Responsibilities

- Independently operate within a larger design team to work on large, complex product surfaces – several flows that need to hold together – working directly with product managers and engineering from your first week.
- Frame problems before designing them: clarify fuzzy asks, define what success looks like and what's out of scope, and get alignment with your PM and engineers early.
- Break the work into short milestones that each ship something within the six months, rather than one launch at the end.
- Design end to end, thinking through edge cases, error and empty states so engineering can build without back-and-forth.
- Use AI to build polished, working prototypes that engineering can use as a starting point for the build.
- Craft polished, differentiated experiences, using and extending our design system so the product stays coherent.
- Hold design quality through the build – review what shipped against what was designed, and get the gaps closed.

Minimum Qualifications

- A portfolio that shows how you frame problems,



not just how you solve them – what success meant, what you chose to test, what you learned, and what moved as a result. Outcomes matter more than screens here.
- 6+ years of product design experience designing and shipping web and Android / iOS apps in Fintech, eCommerce, SaaS or other online businesses, including end-to-end ownership of a product surface.
- Evidence of working fluently within an existing design system – using its components and patterns well, and extending them where the product needs it.
- Strong visual and interaction design skills, with excellent judgement in typography, layout, hierarchy, consistency, and interaction details.
- High proficiency in Figma – on design and prototyping. Familiarity with AI tools like Claude, Codex, Cursor or Antigravity.
- Strong communication and storytelling skills – able to explain a concept and defend a decision with reasons rather than taste, and to influence PMs, engineers and data partners.
- Available to commit to a 6-month contract and ramp up within your first few weeks.

Good to Have

- Experience working within the wealth management industry, or in another regulated domain where constraints shape the experience.
- Exposure to online B2C environments, with a strong understanding of consumer digital experiences.
- Experience contributing to or maintaining a design system.
