About the role
Wealthfront is looking for a Principal Product Designer to help drive design for our Investing products, reporting to the Design Director for Self-Directed Investing. Building great financial products requires digging diligently into the details to address complex problems with elegant solutions. We’re seeking a designer who cares deeply about all aspects of a great product experience, from strategy to pattern to pixel.
Wealthfront pioneered automated investing by offering broad access to sophisticated investing strategies at a fraction of the cost of traditional financial advisers. Our mission is to build a financial system that favors people over institutions. On this team, you would be a key part of expanding the ways we help our clients build long-term wealth through saving and investing.
Success in this role requires strong collaboration skills, the ability to think in scalable systems/platforms, and a high bar for craft & execution. A passion for investing or experience building consumer financial technology products is highly desirable.
Growing and managing your wealth is fundamental to being able to build the life you want with the people who matter most. This is a unique opportunity to be at the center of charting the next generation of technology innovation in investing products. If this gets you excited, we want to hear from you!
Design at Wealthfront
Designers at Wealthfront transform complex financial technology into simple and delightful experiences. Our commitment to our clients and high bar for craft set us apart from traditional financial institutions, fostering trust with our clients and empowering them to build lasting wealth on their own terms.
We pride ourselves on our meticulous attention to detail, consistently striving for excellence in all areas of our craft.

We understand how design plays an important role in the success of our business and we are active participants in various leadership forums.
Collaboration is at the core of our approach. We work closely with our counterparts in engineering, product management, research, data science, legal, and compliance to define opportunities and explore solutions. We are equal partners in making strategic decisions and defining impactful roadmaps. We embrace a culture of continuous learning, prioritizing the magnitude of our successes over the percentage of times we are successful.
Most importantly, we love what we do! We are passionate about our mission, the financial technology space, and our clients. We take pride in our culture with a high bar, and a low ego.
