ABOUT US

We are a US-based fintech platform leveraging the power of finance and technology to empower kids and teens to reach their full potential. We pursue this mission by offering a gamified fintech and learning ecosystem - with Visa debit cards, family checking accounts, payment applications, enabled by AI-powered infrastructure and embedded with financial literacy. We are built for scale and security using leading technologies and best practices that power tens of thousands of API calls per day (and scaling rapidly!).

We are a global company, with teams across the US, Latam and India. We do in person retreats every 6 months. If you are hungry to learn, humble to work with, and hustle to find creative ways to solve problems, we would love to hear from you!

Modak is currently at the Series A stage, having raised $19M from leading investors, including Notable Capital (Airbnb, Anthropic, Square, TikTok, Coinbase), Nazca (Kavak, Justo), Monashees (Rappi, Loft), ONE VC, Maya Capital, and more than 40 other top angel investors, founders, and operators across the US, India, and Latin America.

This Role Goes Beyond UI

At Modak, our goal is simple and ambitious: help kids reach their full potential.

We’re building a fintech product that helps kids and teens develop healthy money habits alongside their parents. That means designing for learning, trust, and empowerment—without fear, pressure, or dark patterns. Our work needs to be clear, motivating, and responsible, especially because our users are families.

You’ll join as the second Product Designer, embedded with product and engineering from day one. You’ll own real problem spaces, shape product direction, and make decisions that show up in the product.

You’ll design experiences like onboarding, rewards, cards, referrals, and learning flows. You’ll design for two very different audiences kids and parents balancing motivation with safety, clarity, and trust. There’s meaningful room here to grow your scope, ownership, and depth of product thinking.

What You’ll Work On

As a Product Designer at Modak, you’ll:

• Own product areas end to end from understanding the problem to shipping, learning, and iterating

• Take ambiguous, real-world problems and turn them into clear, testable product solutions

• Think in flows and systems, not just screens, while accounting for edge cases and long-term impact

• Work closely with product, engineering, growth, and operations to make informed tradeoffs

• Help raise product quality by testing flows and catching issues before they ship

• Participate in research through interviews, surveys, and synthesis of insights

• Regularly review user feedback and app reviews to inform design decisions

• Explore how AI tools can improve workflows and open up new product possibilities

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a designer who:

• Has 3+ years of experience designing and shipping real products

• Can show clear ownership, reasoning, and impact in their portfolio

• Thinks beyond UI and understands user behavior, systems, and tradeoffs

• Is comfortable making decisions with imperfect information

• Can clearly explain design thinking to cross-functional partners

• Values close collaboration and thoughtful debate

• Is comfortable working in both English and Spanish

Before applying, we encourage you to read a short letter written by one of our Product Designers, Delfina Paesani.

She shares what it’s really like to design at Modak how we work, how decisions get made, and what this role looks like day to day.
