Senior Product Designer, Design Systems - Ondo Finance

About the company

Hi, we're Ondo Finance. Our mission is to provide institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. We have both a technology arm that develops decentralized finance technology, and an asset management arm that creates and manages tokenized funds. We are the global leader in tokenized treasuries, tokenized stocks and ETFs, and are building the future of institutional-grade financial services onchain.

Founded by folks from Goldman Sachs Digital Assets Team, we’re backed by some of the best investors in the world including Founders Fund, Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, Tiger Global, and more. We are currently the leaders in the space in terms of AUM and are well capitalized to continue growing the firm. We're fully remote, with team members across the U.S.

About the role

Ondo Finance is looking for a Senior Product Designer to own, hands-on, the design systems behind everything we ship. You'll own two outright, institutional and consumer, and support the marketing team's system so brand and design-to-code stay tight. Our products move real money, so precision and accessibility are the floor, not the ceiling: we want institutional and consumer users alike to feel the craft, which makes visual expression and motion core to the system. You'll join a small, senior team that runs on high ownership and low ego, and this is a building role: you'll be in Figma and alongside engineers every day, shipping the components and tokens yourself while setting the direction for the systems you own.

Target Outcomes

• Both design systems, institutional and consumer, fully adopted across their web and mobile products, with measurable coverage rising quarter over quarter.
• Figma libraries and the front-end component library in parity: tokens, variants, and states match one-to-one.
• Every system component meets WCAG AA, with accessibility criteria documented and verified before release.
• Product teams ship faster: fewer one-off components, shorter design-to-build cycles, and a clear contribution path.
• Documentation and governance that scale beyond the design team for engineers, PMs, and AI agents.

Responsibilities

• Own two design systems end to end, institutional and consumer: components, design tokens, theming, patterns, and Figma libraries across web and mobile.
• Define the expressive layer of both systems: visual language, motion principles, and interaction details.
• Design and ship the full stack of the system, from primitives and atoms to page templates.
• Partner closely with UI engineers so that tokens and components map cleanly to the production component library.
• Define how the system works on mobile: platform-appropriate interactions and responsive behavior.
• Hold the system to WCAG 2.2 AA standards.
• Write clear, usable documentation (usage guidelines, do/don't examples, contribution guides).
• Run governance across teams: contribution and review processes, versioning, and adoption tracking.
• Audit the system proactively to find gaps, inconsistencies, and drift across products.
• Use AI tooling as part of daily work: agents, markdown guideline files, and MCP integrations.

Requirements

• 6+ years in product design, including 3+ years focused on design systems.
• Experience building and scaling a shared design system across multiple products and platforms (web and mobile).
• Strong UI craft: visual hierarchy, typography, layout, and polished interaction details.
• Experience building scalable components and design tokens, including theming.
• Strong understanding of how components and tokens translate into front-end libraries (React, React Native, Swift/Kotlin).
• Advanced Figma skills: variables, modes, auto layout, component properties, and library management.
• Track record of working closely with engineers as a day-to-day partner.
• Strong accessibility knowledge and experience shipping WCAG AA compliant components.
• Fluency with AI tooling in a design or engineering workflow.
• Experience with design-to-code tooling such as Code Connect, token pipelines, or Storybook.
• A systems thinker with sharp attention to detail.
• Portfolio showcasing design systems work.

Nice to Haves

• Experience with crypto, onchain, or tokenized-asset products.
• Experience in fintech, exchanges, or trading platforms.
• Experience setting up motion and interaction standards within a system.
• Working proficiency in Mandarin Chinese.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation including salary, future token rights, and/or equity.
• Full benefits (medical, vision, and dental) and flexible vacation policy (PTO).
• Remote-first team across many countries.
• Access to a high-caliber team and world-class investors.
