About Middesk
Middesk makes it easier for businesses to work together. Since 2018, we’ve been transforming business identity verification, replacing slow, manual processes with seamless access to complete, up-to-date data. Our platform helps companies across industries confidently verify business identities, onboard customers faster, and reduce risk at every stage of the customer lifecycle.
Middesk came out of Y Combinator, is backed by Sequoia Capital and Accel Partners, and was recently named to Forbes Fintech 50 List and cited as an industry leader in business verification by digital identity strategy firm, Liminal.
As a Product Designer at Middesk, you’ll play a pivotal role in helping businesses uphold strong compliance standards and manage risk with confidence. You’ll design intuitive experiences that empower customers to make informed compliance and risk decisions in highly regulated industries. Working closely with Product and Engineering partners, you’ll own the end-to-end design process from discovery through delivery, bringing a balance of craft, systems thinking, and curiosity to every stage.
We follow a hybrid work model, and for this role, there is an expectation of 2 days per week in our SF office. Candidates should be based within a commutable distance, as we believe in the value of in-person collaboration and building strong team connections while also supporting flexibility where possible.
Partner closely with Product and Engineering to refine problems, explore solutions, and deliver designs that strike the right balance between customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
Own the end-to-end design process, from early discovery to launch, using design best practices to drive impact at every stage.
Translate complex data challenges into simple, intuitive experiences that build trust and clarity for our customers.
Use storytelling to bring clarity and meaning to complex business identity and risk concepts, helping others understand the “why” behind your work.
Shape and evolve Middesk’s design system and visual language to ensure consistency, accessibility, and craft across all products.
Over 6 years of product design experience delivering impactful solutions for B2B products, bonus points if you have direct experience with designing for platforms that work with business or consumer data.
A strong portfolio demonstrating the ability to design product experiences that turn complex or abstract customer challenges into simple, intuitive solutions.
Experience collaborating cross-functionally with product and engineering teams, driving alignment from discovery through delivery.
A systems thinker who bridges user experience and API-driven systems, with familiarity in developer tooling such as SDK configuration, setup flows, and technical onboarding.
Strong communication skills, able to clearly articulate design decisions and advocate for customers’ needs through compelling storytelling.
A proactive approach to advancing work, taking initiative to move projects forward and keep teams aligned through changing priorities.
Proficiency in Figma, including prototyping, collaborating in shared design files, and effectively leveraging and maintaining design system components.
Demonstrated ownership of a design system or component library, including defining standards, guiding its evolution over time, and partnering closely with engineers to ensure high-quality, scalable implementation (hands-on contribution is a plus).
Comfortable working with front-end frameworks (ReactJS) and contributing design changes independently with minimal engineering support.
Bonus skills such as illustration, branding, motion design, photography, or other creative disciplines.
