Who we are:

TrueLayer is Europe’s fastest-growing Pay by Bank network. We power smarter, safer and faster payments by combining real-time bank payments with financial and identity data. E-commerce, iGaming and Financial Services businesses use our products to onboard new users, accept money and make payouts in seconds, and at scale. Live across 22 countries and with 1 new user joining TrueLayer’s Pay by Bank network every 3 seconds, we’re in a very exciting growth stage. This is why we’re expanding the team across our offices in London, Milan, and Dublin.

Listed in Sifted as one of the 100 fastest growing start-ups in UK & Ireland, and CNBC’s World Top Fintech Companies, we’re trusted by industry leaders like RyanAir and Just Eat Takeaway for continued innovation within our payment products. To date, we’ve raised over $300 million from world-renowned investors including Stripe, Tiger Global, Northzone, and Tencent. But this is just the beginning.

We’re looking for people who are excited about joining the Pay by Bank revolution and helping us change the way the world pays. Could this be you? 

Description

At TrueLayer, we believe that bridging the gap between engineering and design is the best way to build frictionless products. That’s why our designers, developers, and PMs consistently collaborate (think less “silo”, more “free flow”). So, from end-user interfaces to our developer Console, there’s no problem that we can’t tackle at scale with an intuitive, user-centric, beautiful design.

As a UX/UI Designer in the design system team, you’ll be right at the centre of our design org. A champion of best UX and UI practices, helping continuously shape our design language alongside product and brand designers and frontend engineers.

What does that mean? It means being a creator and guardian of our components, helping to define their interactions and document their behaviour. Creating the resources that keep every team aligned by design. And impacting our entire user experience.

You’ll work with a whole heap of teams, on a whole heap of projects, across a whole heap of industries. You’ll use the very latest design tools and technologies. And you’ll do it all as we go global.

As a Senior UX/UI Designer, you will:

  • Help own and maintain our design language, ensuring it scales across multiple platforms and aligns with long-term business goals.
  • Champion design excellence and advocate for best-in-class UX/UI standards, setting the bar for quality across internal and external projects.
  • Create and maintain multiple complex Figma component libraries.
  • Create high-level guidelines for accessibility, usability testing, and visual design.
  • Work closely with brand & product designers, PMs and developers to push design consistency.
  • Write content for and maintain our design system and asset library website.
  • Track metrics, and use them to improve collaboration and adoption.

About you:

  • Experience building, scaling, and maintaining design systems for enterprise-level products.
  • Experience influencing and aligning Product, Engineering, and Design stakeholders around a shared vision.
  • A passion for design consistency and alignment.
  • A user-first attitude, always.
  • A data-driven approach to making decisions and backing up assertions.
  • Previous experience in tech, and in an agile environment.
  • Knowledge of accessibility standards and a track record of implementing inclusive design at scale.
  • A good understanding of HTML, CSS and JS and how design decisions impact front-end performance and code maintainability.
  • Experience working in mature Agile environments and the ability to build processes that keep a growing design org aligned.
  • Experience with building components in Figma
We’d be especially excited if you can show:
  • Experience with ReactJS and Git version control
  • An understanding of content management systems
