Hadrius, a YC W23 startup automating securities compliance for investment firms, is hiring Senior Product Designers in New York with salaries ranging from $170K to $225K plus equity. The company serves over 300 financial institutions managing $4T+ AUM and has grown from launch to significant ARR in under 24 months. This full-time role requires 6+ years of experience and onsite work in lower Manhattan.

Unlike traditional design roles, Hadrius emphasizes designers who can code and integrate directly into the codebase alongside engineers. The company uses Figma but is shifting toward AI-powered workflows where hard skills like light coding and speed are increasingly valuable. Candidates will work with the Founding Product Designer to establish design systems and processes that scale with the company's rapid growth.

Within the first month, designers will ship major projects, create the Hadrius Design System, and establish core design rituals. The role demands strategic thinking, mentorship abilities, and comfort with ambiguity as designers own complex 0-to-1 product initiatives. Benefits include a $18K annual housing stipend for those living near the office, premium healthcare, 401(k) matching, and significant equity in this emerging category leader competing against decades-old legacy software.
