Senior Product Designer (Remote - Europe/UK)

About GoCharting

GoCharting is a web-native charting and trading workflow platform with institutional-grade orderflow and DOM tools — footprint/cluster charts, volume/market profile, cumulative delta, imbalance charts, DOM trading. We are the only platform that delivers these capabilities fully on the web. Differentiated as the leader in the professional orderflow niche. PE-acquired and funded in 2025, profitable, 2.1M+ registered traders globally, with a mandate to scale 10x over 4 years. US rebrand underway. US equities and US options data are being added, broadening scope beyond futures into multi-asset coverage.

The Role

This is the first design hire — there is no existing design function. Design decisions have been made ad hoc by the CEO and engineering team. Your mission: own product design end-to-end for a data-dense, power-user platform and set the quality bar for the next phase of growth.

You are a hands-on, autonomous founding designer — not a manager (yet). You will own the full surface: interaction design, visual/UI craft, end-to-end flows, and the lightweight research that informs them. The product is genuinely hard to design — real-time market microstructure, dense charting, trade execution, multi-asset data — and the bar is professional traders who live in this tool all day. You report to the CEO initially, transitioning to the Head of Product once that role is filled. Success in Year 1: a measurably better, more coherent product experience and the foundations of a design practice (system, patterns, process) that scales.

What you'll do

• Own product design end-to-end — research → interaction → high-fidelity UI → engineering hand-off — for web and mobile, working directly with a small, senior engineering team and the CEO/CTO
• Drive the US-first growth surfaces — rebrand, signup and onboarding funnel, conversion and upgrade flows, pricing — designed for measurable funnel improvement
• Raise the quality bar — directly attack the top user complaints (clarity, performance perception, workflow friction) through targeted redesign
• Make complex data legible — design power-user workflows for orderflow, DOM, footprint/cluster charts, volume/market profile, and trade execution without dumbing them down
• Establish a lightweight design system — components, patterns, and tokens that a growing engineering team can build against consistently
• Design AI-feature surfaces — the interaction patterns for embedded assistive AI (microstructure interpretation, review, alerts) as those capabilities ship

What we're looking forMust-haves:

• 5+ years in product design, with a portfolio of 3–4 products you shipped end-to-end (not concepts, not redesign exercises) — you own both interaction and visual craft
• Demonstrated comfort with complex, technical, data-dense, or power-user products — trading/charting/market-data, analytics/BI, dev-tools, or comparable. You can make dense information clear without flattening it
• Founding-designer mindset — moves fluidly between strategy and pixels, ships without a design manager, comfortable as the only designer on a constrained engineering team
• Strong visual and interaction craft — your work is polished, consistent, and accessible, not just functional
• Expert in Figma; fluent in modern hand-off and design-system practice
• EU/US timezone overlap; written-first, async-friendly communicator

Nice-to-haves:

• Domain knowledge of trading / financial markets — you know what a footprint chart, volume profile, DOM, or cumulative delta is, or can demonstrably ramp fast
• Has built a design system from scratch
• Freemium B2C SaaS conversion / funnel-optimization experience
• Has worked effectively with a small (3–5 person) engineering team under capacity constraints

Logistics

• EU/UK timezone, fully remote
• Full-Time (via EOR)
• No travel / light at start, reassessed as team scales — occasional Chennai (engineering), US (partners, conferences), EU (leadership)
• Start date ASAP
