📋 Description

• We’re looking for a designer-builder who understands front-office capital markets workflows and can move seamlessly from UX thinking to working prototypes using AI coding tools. • This is not a “Figma-only” design role. You will work directly in tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Replit, Lovable, or similar environments to create fast 0→1 functional prototypes, iterate rapidly on our existing product, and deeply shape how analysts interact with Mercata’s knowledge graph. • You’ll work tightly with the CEO and CTO, embed directly with users, and drive short, fast feedback loops. You’ll bring clarity to complex workflows, simplify where others add noise, and help define a product that feels inevitable in hindsight.

🎯 Requirements

• 2-4 years Front-office capital markets experience (buy-side or sell-side research, PM team, or having built tools directly for analysts/PMs) with a deep understanding of how analysts work: evaluating companies, tracking changes, forming theses, and operating under time pressure. • Comfortable iterating quickly and building functional UI with Cursor, Lovable, Replit, or other tools instead of only Figma mock-ups. • Strong workflow and interaction design instincts for data-dense, multi-step research workflows. • Startup experience • **Mindset** • Low ego, high ownership, strong communication.
