Now Hiring: Senior Product Designer
Who you’ll work with:
Thanks for taking the time to learn more about our upcoming opportunity! We’re excited to share as much information as we can to help ensure mutual fit and mutual trust…
We’re here to offer you a different kind of workday. A day where you can tackle new and exciting problems every time you walk into the office. A day where you don’t have to walk into the office at all. A day where you can work at home or at your favorite coffee shop or in the middle of a snowstorm. As long as you’re bringing your bright ideas, and bringing those ideas to life, we want to work with you. Wherever you are.

About the role:
Praxent is a digital product agency that designs and builds software for financial service companies. Through our work we help people prepare for retirement, apply for small business loans, create financial plans, make and share smart investments, and a whole lot more.
As we grow, one of our biggest challenges (that we need your help with) is leading the design on a variety of projects. Our design engagements are often our clients’ first experience with us, and we need to set the bar high. Your work requires the right blend of design strategy, planning, stakeholder partnership, peer mentorship, passion for finance/fintech, and of course top notch UX and UI design.
Your day to day:
As a senior product designer, you’ll be leading two to three projects at a time. You’ll be responsible for creating and facilitating design thinking workshops with clients, analyzing business requirements, creating primary UX artifacts (maps, flows, wireframes), creating the design for the user interfaces, and stitching it all together in a prototype. A typical project team includes a senior product designer (you), a product designer, a project manager, and an account manager. You’ll work closely with your team and with engineers to deliver great design each week, and to ensure technical feasibility so that our clients and their customers have a stellar experience with us and our products.
What you’ll love about us:
- Stability. We’ve been in business for over 20 years.
- Work stays at work. We promote a healthy work/life balance to help ensure you have the time that you need. We encourage no more than a 40 hour work week.
- Great company culture. We’ve been recognized by Texas Monthly, Clutch, Comparably, and more for the quality of our workplace. Feel free to check out our rating on Glassdoor.
- We’re here to enable you. It’s your work and your career. Our management team is here to help you become who you want to be. Not to micromanage you.
- Stay Healthy. We offer medical, dental, and vision coverage as well as wellness days. We also provide disability insurance and we even have a wellness program.
- Plan for the future. We don’t want you to work here forever. Save for retirement with an IRA and we’ll match up to 3% every year.
- We value your ideas. At Praxent, our doors are always open. Need help? Come on in. Have a vision for the future of the company? We’d love to hear it.
- Rest and relaxation. Employees enjoy 15 days of PTO, 9 US holidays, 5 wellness days, and a closed office the last week of the year. Employees earn more PTO each year.
- You’re more than an employee, you’re a person. Every co-worker you’ll meet is committed to treating you with respect and kindness. You won’t hear stuff like, “It’s just business.”
- Family Values. Praxent provides paid parental leave.
