Come join our team as we develop new ways to improve the lives of working Americans. Our mission starts with empowering our own employees. Have a great idea? Share it today and it might just get implemented tomorrow. As a team member at Branch, your voice and creativity can directly impact the product and company. We not only attract great talent from across the country, but also build teams to help that talent to thrive. That means valuing a diversity of opinions and working styles, while creating a shared belief in innovation, initiative, and winning together. 

We are looking for a motivated, well-organized, and data-informed Product Designer to help craft intuitive, engaging digital experiences that are easy to use and inspiring.

  • Rapidly produce multiple concepts and prototypes, understanding when deeper exploration is warranted and when it is best to change paths and try another approach.
  • Translate complex ideas into elegant, scalable, and intuitive design solutions.
  • Take into account existing insights, technical constraints, user and business needs, and specific platform demands to produce data-informed solutions.
  • Execute at every stage of the design lifecycle from ideation to delivery, balancing innovation with usability.
  • Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to understand requirements and provide creative, thoughtful solutions.
  • Be autonomous. You’ll take full ownership of your work and total responsibility for every last detail, every step of the way, from whiteboard sketching to high-fidelity final UI.

  • Humble, curious, and motivated to ship the best product.
  • Experience working in Figma and other industry-standard design/prototyping tools.
  • Have an online portfolio or PDF that you can share with us. Applications without a portfolio are unlikely to be considered.
