  • Experience designing enterprise-level financial or trading applications.
  • Deep understanding of financial markets, trading platforms, or investment tools.

This role is ideal for an experienced UX leader eager to make a significant impact on high-profile financial technology solutions. If you’re passionate about solving complex design challenges and shaping exceptional user experiences, we’d love to hear from you!
