Check is hiring a Product Designer

About the Role

Check is hiring a Senior Product Designer to transform Check Console into the best platform for operating a payroll business. You will untangle complex payroll systems, translate them into intuitive user experiences, and own the end-to-end design of major product enhancements.

What You'll Do

  • Own the end-to-end design of major product enhancements within Check Console, from problem framing through shipped experience.
  • Translate complex payroll systems into intuitive user experiences, shaping everything from interaction models to product architecture.
  • Partner closely with engineering and product leaders to design surfaces and workflows that simplify the complex realities of payroll operations.
  • Identify opportunities to rethink existing product patterns and drive improvements that make Console significantly more intuitive and efficient for operators.
  • Conduct user research — including direct conversations with payroll operators and platform partners — to uncover insights and validate design decisions.
  • Elevate the visual and interaction design of existing product surfaces to create a more cohesive, intuitive, and delightful experience.
  • Prototype and iterate quickly on new ideas, incorporating feedback from users and cross-functional teams.
  • Contribute to the evolution of Check’s product design standards and help raise the overall bar for design across the company.
  • Collaborate with marketing and creative teams to socialize platform enhancements to existing partners and future prospects.

What We're Looking For

  • 6–10+ years of experience in product design, UX/UI design, or a similar role designing complex software products.

Nice to Have

  • Strong UX instincts and the ability to simplify complex systems, workflows, and data-heavy interfaces.
  • Experience designing workflow-driven products or operational software (fintech, developer tools, enterprise platforms, or similar).
  • A portfolio demonstrating both systems thinking and strong visual design craft.
  • Experience collaborating closely with engineering teams and designing within technical constraints.
  • Ability to independently drive ambiguous design problems from discovery through shipped product.
  • Experience conducting or leading user research and translating insights into product improvements.
  • Experience designing for multi-step workflows and complex user journeys.
  • Comfort working in fast-moving environments where designers often own broad problem spaces.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly articulate design decisions and tradeoffs.

Benefits & Compensation

  • Stock options.
  • Flexible PTO and sick leave.
  • Up to 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for new parents.
  • Flexible return-to-work.
  • 9 annual holidays.
  • 401k retirement plan.
  • $100 monthly stipend for home internet and mobile phone expenses.
  • High-quality medical, dental, vision, short-term/long-term disability, and basic life insurance coverage, effective on your first day of work.
  • Compensation: Expected range in San Francisco, NYC, LA, and Seattle is between $200,000 and $220,000. Expected range for all other locations is between $180,000 and $198,000.
