Titan
Senior/Staff Product Designer - (Founding Designer) Job at Titan in New York
Titan, New York, NY, US, 10261
Founding Designer
Hey, this is Joe. I founded Titan back in '18, and was also our company's first designer.
I've written every word here personally not only because I think this is a massive opportunity to build an industry-defining product, but because this is a really important & impactful role for us. We're looking for Founding Designer #1 for this next s-curve of Titan.
What do I mean? Well, the app you see today is actually nothing like what it will be. The bones are fine, but it's a C+ when it comes to simplicity, beauty, & function. Great news: what we're building now is nothing short of remarkable. We're going thru the textbook journey of muscling your way up that first s-curve of success...then coming over that initial hill and finally "seeing the light." You get to benefit from years of learning (we'll give you the full download).
Me, Clay (Co-CEO), Dave (CTO) are jamming with the team cleaning up & building, preparing for an epic launch this Fall. We're presently using freelance designers because we're keeping the bar insanely high on who we add full-time to the team - we can't compromise on this role. But I know as I write this, into the great abyss of the Internet, it will reach the right person and we'll welcome them clapping to the team and be off to the races.
Read on if that could be you.
More On Us
What Robinhood did to Brokerage ("do wealth yourself"), no one has yet done to Advisory ("do wealth for me"). This means consumers, who don't have the confidence to trade stocks themselves, end up not investing at all, because they can't afford the minimums that legacy Advisors charge to manage their wealth. It's screamingly obvious that someone will build a massive, iconic consumer company in Advisory the same way Robinhood built one in Brokerage. Advisory & Brokerage are the two twins of wealth. Only one has a modern solution. Wealthfront & Betterment took a stab in their mission, but ended up being Robinhoods in different clothes. The opportunity remains. If you asked me "what's Titan's mission," it's to put private wealth in every pocket. I personally cannot think of a more impactful consumer finance product to be built over the next decade, especially with the advent of AI.
Titan's First S-Curve
We had a lot of success in our first s-curve. We power $1B of assets and serve 10's of thousands of people. We launched firsts: the first venture fund for everyone with Cathie Wood; the first institutional cash product for everyone; the first "not a hedge fund" for everyone. Sam Altman led our Seed; General Catalyst our A; a16z our B; and we haven't publicized further rounds from there (but you get my drift). We won a lot of awards: from US News Best Advisor in '20 to being featured by Apple. But, and I do mean this, we are nowhere close to reaching our ambitions. That chapter starts now.
About the Role
To us, our team is everything. Nothing magical can happen without hiring magical people. We exert a crazy amount of effort to interview Titans. If you're excited by this, we'd love to meet you.
For the right person, this is "the" opportunity. You get to be on the ground floor, working with a high courage team, that actually wants to hear your craziest ideas and get them out the door as soon as we can.
Joe here, signing off. Excited to meet you!

About the Role
To us, our team is everything. Nothing magical can happen without hiring magical people. We exert a crazy amount of effort to interview Titans. If you're excited by this, we'd love to meet you.
- As a founding designer at Titan you will report to me, the Co-CEO.
- You'll be sitting feet away from me, our CTO, and our engineering team ideating on features and shipping them at an insane pace. That means there's really high odds of you having a great idea in the morning and it actually being worked on the same day.
- You'll define, explore, and solve our most complex challenges in close collaboration with teammates from engineering, product, brand, and investor relations teams.
- You'll design a super engaging mobile product that people rave about.
- You'll be super close to our users (clients).
- You'll champion what great design means - both inwardly at our company and outwardly.
For the right person, this is "the" opportunity. You get to be on the ground floor, working with a high courage team, that actually wants to hear your craziest ideas and get them out the door as soon as we can.
