Staff Product Designer

The Role

The team are looking for a Staff Product Designer who also has strong product instincts—someone who thrives on defining product direction, iterating quickly, and shipping features that balance elegance and utility. You’ll operate like a designer–product manager hybrid, collaborating closely with engineers, PMs, and leadership to translate fuzzy ideas into user-centric solutions. You won’t just hand off files; you’ll own projects end-to-end, from initial research and concepting through launch and iteration, and elevate the level of craftsmanship in Magna's product.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to Product Direction
• Partner with leadership to shape Magna’s roadmap and help decide what we build next, ensuring design excellence is front and centre in every discussion.
• Combine user insights, market trends, and product analytics to prioritize impactful features.
• Lead End-to-End Design Projects
• Kick off initiatives by clarifying user needs, brainstorming with teammates, and sketching out early concepts.
• Create user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity visuals that balance clarity, usability, and brand consistency.
• Prototype quickly in Figma (or your tool of choice), gather feedback internally and externally, and iterate fast.
• Collaborate Like Crazy
• Sit alongside engineers to define scope, clarify technical requirements, and smooth out any feasibility bumps.
• Jump into product discussions—help write specs, refine acceptance criteria, and ensure everything is ready for dev handoff.
• Participate in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and design critiques, maintaining tight feedback loops.
• Ship, Learn, Iterate
• Work with product, engineering, and QA to ensure features launch smoothly and meet our quality standards.
• Analyze user behaviour and collect qualitative feedback post-launch to refine or extend features.
• Advocate for continuous improvements, whether it’s fixing small UX issues or pushing forward new ideas.
• Elevate Design Culture
• Set a high bar for craft and attention to detail; champion practices that ensure Magna’s product remains polished and intuitive.
• Mentor and guide other team members—designers, PMs, engineers—in user experience best practices.
• Help grow the design team by contributing to hiring, onboarding, and shaping how we do design at Magna.

Requirements

• 4+ years of end-to-end product design experience in a fast-paced environment (startup, tech company, or product-focused agency).
• A deep portfolio showcasing exceptional product thinking, beautifully crafted interfaces, and user-friendly flows.
• Product Mindset: You’re as comfortable shaping strategy and writing user stories as you are perfecting pixels.
• Strong Communication: You can articulate design decisions to anyone—engineers, leadership, or end users—and you actively seek out diverse feedback.
• Fast Iteration: You thrive in a culture of prototypes, experiments, and early shipping—no fear of pivoting based on new insights.
• Curiosity About Crypto: You’re intrigued by the potential of Web3 and excited to simplify complex token operations for real users. (Deep expertise is a plus, but not required.)
