About Cycles Cycles’ mission is to clear the most debt, for the most people, with the least money. Our first product, Cycles for Business, is a privacy‑preserving, stablecoin‑native invoicing and payments solution that helps businesses manage treasury, issue invoices, and pay bills while maximizing savings and yield. It optimizes payment and credit flows, resolves gridlock, and reduces working‑capital costs, late payments, and cash‑flow stress for businesses everywhere.
Cycles is an independent venture‑backed startup incubated by Informal Systems and currently preparing for Series A.
About the Role We are looking for a Product Design Lead to shape the product and UX, delivering delightful payments, invoicing, and treasury management experiences for businesses. The ideal candidate is passionate about building engaging, user‑centric web and mobile applications and has strong experience in FinTech, digital banking, accounting, or crypto. As a Product Design Lead, you will work closely with cross‑functional teams to create intuitive and scalable designs, taking direct responsibility for product success and customer experience.
Primary Responsibilities
Lead product design across mobile and web, from discovery and user research through production‑ready interfaces.
Define and own the product’s design language, UX patterns, and interaction principles to create delightful and trustworthy payment experiences.
Translate complex invoicing, treasury, and payment workflows into simple flows that engage and delight the user.
Partner closely with engineering and product teams to prototype, test, and ship new features quickly while maintaining high UX quality.
Run user research, usability testing, and feedback loops to deeply understand customer needs and inform product decisions.
Contribute to product strategy and roadmap by identifying key opportunities to improve user experience and drive adoption.
Build and maintain a scalable design system that ensures visual consistency and speed across products.
Qualifications
Obsession with UX and interfaces that delight, and a passion for making sophisticated financial technology feel simple, safe, and powerful for users.
5+ years of experience designing mobile and web applications end‑to‑end, ideally in fintech, payments, and/or crypto, with a focus on businesses (SMEs).
Demonstrated ability to ship products from 0→1 and evolve them based on user feedback.
Deep expertise in UX design, interaction design, and information architecture for complex financial or transactional products.
Expert proficiency with Figma and other modern design tools, plus a strong understanding of responsive design and accessibility standards for both mobile and web.
Experience collaborating tightly with engineers and product managers in fast‑moving remote environments.
A portfolio showing thoughtful design systems, elegant interfaces, and clear UX reasoning.
