The posting, as Range wrote it

At Range, we’re building towards a world where anyone can live the financial life they imagine for themselves. If that sounds like a mission you want to be a part of, let’s create it together.

We’re building AI-powered wealth management. Investments, taxes, retirement, estate planning, all in one platform instead of scattered across different advisors and apps. We're backed by Google's Gradient Ventures, Cathay Innovation, Scale Venture Partners, and more. We’re growing fast while still small enough that everyone's work is visible and impactful.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is not a traditional design role. You won't wait for specs or polish someone else's ideas. You'll define what we build, why it matters, and how it comes to life, owning the product experience end-to-end and setting the standard for design across Range. This is a building role. You understand the user's problem, you prototype fast, you ship, sometimes the same day. Your work doesn't live in a deck. It lives in production.

Design at Range is AI-first and builder-led. You'll use tools like Lovable and Claude to prototype and iterate rapidly, reducing handoff friction and getting ideas in front of customers faster. You bring validated concepts back into Figma for full state coverage, system alignment, and production readiness, forcing yourself to think through every component and interaction. Our design system is evolving, and having someone who can own its direction and architecture is critical.

Your designs and flows will be how this company makes strategic decisions. When you put something visual in front of the team, we move. Designers at Range are catalysts, creating momentum and moving ideas forward. We think big, but we ship small and incrementally. You'll operate as a design leader across pods and product surfaces, setting the bar for quality, speed, and product thinking at the organizational level. We're looking for someone who raises the bar for everyone around them. The standard you bring should push the entire company, across design, product, and engineering, to operate at a higher level.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own the product experience end-to-end, from shaping ambiguous problems to shipping high-quality solutions and iterating in production.
  • Act as a core product partner, shaping direction with PM and engineering, influencing what gets built (not just how), and driving clarity in ambiguous spaces.
  • Set design direction across multiple product surfaces, ensuring coherence, quality, and a unified member experience as the product scales.
  • Prototype rapidly using AI tools: Use Lovable and Claude to build, test, and iterate on flows and interfaces. Guide structure, behavior, and UX quality while AI accelerates your output.
  • Bring work into Figma: Translate validated concepts into Figma for full state coverage, component definition, and production readiness. This is where you think through every state, edge case, and interaction pattern.
  • Own and evolve

e engineers.

  • You optimize for consensus over conviction.
  • You think "move fast" means lower the bar.

COMPENSATION

Base salary range: $100,000 – $200,000

This is the base salary range we expect in good faith to pay for this role at the time of posting. Where an offer lands within the range depends on the scope and complexity of work the candidate can own independently and demonstrated depth at this level.

OTHER COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

The range above reflects base salary only. Our offer packages also include equity in the form of stock options, so total compensation for this role will exceed the base salary range.

We do not ask for or consider salary history. You are welcome to ask questions about compensation at any point in the process.
