Lead Designer job at Atomic

Hey, we’re Playbook. We are making it easier to build wealth. By combining tax optimization best practices with financial automations, we are creating a step-by-step system to make building wealth simple, straight-forward & achievable.

Today, we are a small and productive team with a strong background in consumer products across Credit Karma, Opendoor and Microsoft.

Playbook is funded and backed by Atomic VC. Other Atomic companies: 'Hims & Hers', 'Homebound', 'Bungalow' and many others.

Who You Are:

You thrive in a startup environment. You turn things around quickly, enjoy fast-paced days and are comfortable changing course based on new data. You seek to move metrics. You love working on user problems not because you feel you have to, but because you love what you are doing and you want to build something big for the world. Your favorite thing to do is to take on a huge challenge and pull it off.
You are a full-stack designer. While you might be stronger in certain areas than others, you’re comfortable with all aspects of design. You can zoom out to think about overall UX, or zoom in to create clean and simple buttons, list views, and animations. You are a skilled visual designer, enjoy illustrating and love beautiful typography. You can make basic webpages yourself—or if not, you would enjoy learning how to.
You are a systems thinker. You are thoughtful about things like information architecture, component architecture, and delighted the user. You understand the importance of sequencing and stage your work accordingly. You build style guides and color palettes, and you design experiences where everything fits together.
You understand the psychology of users and financial services. You constantly focus on user motivations. You wonder about how an interaction will make people feel and how it will affect how they feel about their finances. You think about different audiences. You look for the little big details that will delight people at just the right moment.
You take pride in what you do. You are detail oriented. When you put together a quick spec, you take pride in thinking through every edge case, empty state, and error state. You notice when things are a half pixel off. You obsess over animations, transitions and copy because you know what a difference these things make.
You are fluent with tools. Your design files are meticulously organized and you know every Figma keyboard shortcut. You have strong opinions on which tools to use and have finely-tuned systems for exporting assets, getting feedback, and working efficiently with engineers.
You have good values. You care about doing the right thing. You value diversity and go out of your way to ensure others feel welcome. You enjoy hanging out with your teammates, are low-ego, and make the workplace more fun for everyone.

What You'll Do:

You’ll design features that ship. As part of the team, you will move fast. Whether it’s pushing a visual fix immediately after seeing it or designing a thoughtful onboarding flow that soothes a user’s hesitations. You’ll constantly be building and shipping quality product. With your teammates, you’ll be amazed by how much you get done.
You’ll grow and improve rapidly. You’ll be working with some of the most talented people you’ve ever met, who love to learn from and teach each other. You’ll find yourself stretching to new areas, immersed in feedback, challenged by your teammates, and growing on a daily basis.
You’ll shape the product. You will use what you design—and talk with others while they are using it—every day. As the champion of the user, you will have major input into the product’s development and future direction. Your ideas will always be heard.
You’ll have responsibility and be trusted. We believe in hiring amazing people and giving them as much responsibility as they can handle. Whether it’s leading a visual redesign, building out new features, or designing a new savings system, we will trust your judgment, give you autonomy, and always have your back.
You’ll learn about company-building. From fundraising, to recruiting, to negotiating our office lease post-COVID, you’ll have exposure to all aspects of growing and running an early stage startup. Along the way, you’ll get connected with mentors and advisors who can help you for the rest of your career.
You’ll be an owner. We believe in hiring smart people and giving them as much responsibility as they can handle. Whether it’s leading our work on a new platform or single-handedly figuring out how to scale financial technologies to millions of users, we’ll make sure you are always pushing yourself to new levels.
You’ll create something meaningful. Financial empowerment is one of the few achievable goals that instantly improves peoples lives, outcomes, and happiness. We are making it simpler and easier for people to build wealth so they can better realize their dreams for both them and their families.

Come Join Us

As an early employee, you will be a critical part of our core team and have a huge influence over the direction of the company. We will invest deeply in your development and do everything we can to make sure this is the single best work experience of your life.

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
