The Design Opportunity

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to join our team.

At RBCx, you’ll drive innovation in a collaborative, impact-driven culture where creativity and user empathy are valued, and where design is fundamental to how we build truly unique experiences. As a part of the design team, you will be a critical partner in shaping exceptional, user-centric digital products that people want to return to time and again. We’re seeking the right person who is an incredible team player, an expert-level practitioner, and who balances a deep commitment to craft with the desire to get product into the hands of customers for early impact, learning and ongoing refinement. You will join a thriving, talented-yet-humble team with the resources, mandate and ambition to rapidly create and launch industry-leading products.

Demonstrated ability to think in systems 

Expertise in building cohesive, durable design systems that scale and evolve over time

A track record of raising the bar for quality and process

What you’ll be doing 

Design high-impact features and flows, sometimes end-to-end; other times driving improvements by overhauling or optimizing existing experiences for maximal impact 

Deeply understand our customers, their pain points and unmet needs by absorbing data from a variety of sources and methodologies. Stay rooted in customer problems throughout the design process

Apply your creative thinking methods to ideate past obvious options, identify and advocate for optimal solutions, and continuously assess their effectiveness

Craft polished, intuitive, and scalable experiences —solving for multiple flows, states and edge cases. Communicate design decisions with conviction and evidence. 

Collaborate closely with partners in Product and Engineering along with other designers and stakeholders. As a trusted member of the team, you will be expected to communicate frequently, honestly and with good intent, as your voice will influence the product roadmap and strategy 

Elevate our practice by contributing to and evolving our design system; via thoughtful, informed critique; and by leveraging experience and know-how to improve our quality and processes

Help build our culture of excellence, fun and camaraderie 

It’ll be highly helpful if you have… 

Experience designing and delivering products in proptech, real estate, fintech, and/or SaaS-based environments  

Experience embedding AI functionality into product experiences, or ideating net-new AI-based features

Experience in CRO (conversion rate optimization), throughout the user journey 

Demonstrated capability to push creativity and technical innovation

Deep understanding and experience in delivering WCAG-compliant digital products and advocating for inclusive design principles

Nice to have
