Founding Product Designer
Define the visual + interaction language for retail direct indexing. From OG cards to the prompt-to-portfolio flow.
About Arithmos
Arithmos is building the retail layer for direct indexing. We turn a plain-English idea into a transparent, rule-based portfolio with institutional-grade backtesting and analytics. Our goal is to make structured investing accessible to millions.
The role
You will own the visual + interaction language end-to-end — from the marketing surface and OG cards through the build flow and portfolio analytics. The product is dense, financial, and trust-sensitive; the design has to make all of that legible without dumbing it down.
What you’ll do
Product surface
- Prompt-to-portfolio flow: build-card UX, agent live-log, holdings table
- Backtest analytics: charts, lookback rows, attribution factsheets
- Sharing surface: index pages, OG cards, embeddable widgets
Brand + marketing
- Homepage, /how-it-works, blog, and pricing visual systems
- Social cover layouts, ad creative, and bio-link page
- Brand guidelines (typography, palette, motion)
Design system
- Tokens for the dark amber/mono terminal aesthetic
- A pattern library other engineers can ship from
Requirements
- 5+ years shipping product design on data-dense web products
- Strong type, layout, and information-hierarchy chops — fintech-grade
- Comfortable working in Figma alongside an IC engineer (no PM intermediary)
- Built a recognisable brand, not just screens
Nice to have
- Background in fintech / brokerage / portfolio tools
- Charting or data-viz expertise (D3, Highcharts, Recharts)
- Motion / Lottie / Rive experience for marketing surfaces
Why this role is exceptional
- Greenfield brand — your typography choices are the brand
- Rare chance to own product *and* marketing surface together
- Direct reporting line to the founders, no design committee
Compensation & benefits
- Private healthcare
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
- Top-tier equipment + Figma org seat
- Flexible working
- Annual company offsite

Two-stage process: screening call, then a take-home + technical deep-dive with the team you’d join.
