About Finta

Have you tried renewing a driver’s license online? The site looks stuck in 2000, it is confusing and slow. That is how most accounting and tax software still feels. The space is crowded with sales teams who rely on fear to close deals, and the result is bad experiences justified by “compliance.”

Finta is changing that. We automate bookkeeping, file taxes quickly and compliantly, and give companies real-time financial metrics. Our goal is simple: to remove the manual, tedious parts of finance so that smart people can focus on hard problems.

We raised $2M from Y Combinator, Mercury’s CEO, leaders at Mercury, Brex, and Ramp. Since launching in 2023, we have grown organically through word of mouth and now serve hundreds of paying customers. See what they say at ’re looking for a Founding Design Engineer to raise the bar on how Finta looks and feels. You’ll sit at the intersection of design and engineering, someone who obsesses over animation curves, spacing, and interaction details, and also ships production code.

You won’t be designing in Figma and handing off specs. You’ll be designing in the browser, building the components and systems that make Finta feel like the best software our customers have ever used.

This is a founding role. You’ll be one of the first people shaping how Finta feels, and you’ll have an outsized impact on the product, the brand, and the culture of craft at the company. Over time, you’ll have the opportunity to build and lead the design engineering function as we grow.

What you’ll do

• Build and evolve Finta’s design system: the components, tokens, patterns, and motion language that everything is built on
• Ship polished, production-ready UI across product, marketing, and our website
• Create reusable building blocks like data tables, filters, navigation, loading states, animations, and interactive patterns
• Bring modern interaction design to a Rails codebase with fluid transitions, micro-interactions, and the kind of craft you see in tools like Linear, Cursor, and Vercel
• Explore what’s possible at the edge of UI in the age of AI: streaming interfaces, agent status patterns, real-time feedback, and new interaction paradigms
• Work directly with the CEO and engineering team to shape what we build and how it feels
• Set the quality bar for every pixel that ships
• Influence product direction, not just execution. You’ll have a voice in what we build, not just how it looks.

You’ll be a good fit if you

• Have deep expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You think in the browser, not in abstractions.
• Have production experience with server-rendered stacks: Rails, Hotwire, Turbo, Stimulus, Tailwind, ViewComponent, or similar
• Obsess over details like animation timing, easing curves, hover states, spacing, and color. The things most people don’t notice but everyone feels.
• Use AI tools daily to move faster (Cursor, Claude, Conductor, or similar) and can show real examples of shipping with them
• Have a strong visual eye and design sensibility, even if your title has always been “engineer”
• Can point to work you’ve shipped that made people say “damn, this feels good”
• Ship fast and iterate. You’d rather put something real in front of users than polish a mockup.
• Are excited about being early. You want to define the standard, not follow one.

Why join

• Design is at the heart of everything we do. This isn’t a company where engineering overrules design.
• You’ll define the design system and quality bar from the ground up
• Ship consequential work used by hundreds of startups
• Join a small, mission-driven team that values craft and user experience
• 10+ years of runway backed by top investors
• Real ownership and influence over product direction, architecture, and early hiring decisions

You should NOT join Finta if:

• You prefer designing in Figma and handing off to engineers
• You think animations and micro-interactions are unnecessary polish
• You think trying new tools like Paper is a waste of your time
• You prefer non-AI tools and stay away from MCPs
• You prefer heavy structure and narrow scope
• You’re not excited about AI or what it means for product interfaces
• You need step-by-step direction
• You’re looking for a remote job to coast

Tools and stack

• Ruby on Rails with server-rendered views
• Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus) for interactivity
• Tailwind CSS and ViewComponent for the design system
• GitHub, Linear, Figma, Paper, Slack
• AI tools: Cursor, Claude, Conductor, and whatever you want to use

Our values

• Simplicity: Be concise, clear, and efficient
• Endurance: Act with integrity and think long term
• Decisive: Bias for action and learn quickly
• Passion: Bring dedication and energy to the work
• Open minded: Hold strong opinions and question them rigorously
• Selfless: Set egos aside and win as a team

Compensation

• $120-$180k plus 1-3% equity
• Visa sponsorship and relocation support available.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Meals, gym membership, professional education benefits
• Monthly team events and annual company offsite

Zuma is pioneering the future of agentic AI and our focus is to transform the rental market experience for consumers and property managers alike. Our innovative platform is engineered from the ground up to boost operations efficiency and enhance support capabilities for property management businesses across the US and Canada, a ~$200B market.

Off the back of our Series‑A in early 2024, Zuma is scaling rapidly. Achieving our vision requires a team of passionate, innovative individuals eager to leverage technology to redefine customer‑business interactions. We’re on the hunt for exceptional talent ready to join our mission and contribute to building a groundbreaking technology that reshapes how businesses engage with customers.

Zuma has raised over $17M in funding to date and has support from world‑renowned investors, including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Y Combinator, King River, Range Ventures, and distinguished angel investors like YC’s former COO, Qasar Younis.

Principal Product Designer, you will be the steward of product excellence and user experience across our entire platform. This is not just a design leadership role, it’s a chance to fundamentally reimagine how people work and interact with intelligent systems in one of the largest yet most antiquated industries: property management.

Zuma is pioneering a new model of work through agentic AI. Software agents that autonomously complete tasks, communicate with residents, and provide actionable insights to human operators. Our product is unlike anything in the market: it doesn’t just support workflows; it executes them while working with the existing human teams. And this means our design challenges are novel, multidimensional, and deeply human.

You’ll be the primary architect of how Zuma feels, how our AI interacts with users, how insights are surfaced, how tasks are completed across channels, and how trust is built between human and machine. Your work will directly shape not only the interfaces users see but also the mental models they build, the workflows they adopt, and the outcomes they achieve.

• 
  
• Collaborate at the highest levels of the company as a member of the executive team, you'll work side‑by‑side with the founders to define product strategy and business direction.
  
• Design for multiple personas across a layered ecosystem: from corporate operators and regional managers to on‑site leasing teams and the renters themselves. Each of these users has distinct needs, contexts, and interaction styles and your designs will need to respect and unify them.
  
• Drive user‑centric thinking across the company, bringing a high‑craft, systems‑oriented approach to how we understand problems, experiment with solutions, and continuously raise the bar for simplicity, elegance, and usefulness.
  
• Define new interaction patterns for a world where users collaborate with AI, not just click through forms. You’ll invent UI for things like intelligent agents, task orchestration, and real‑time performance feedback, all grounded in trust, transparency, and efficiency.
  
• Bring coherence to the Zuma experience, ensuring that whether a user is viewing a KPI dashboard, replying to a resident, configuring an AI workflow, or triaging alerts, they’re operating within a beautifully unified system.
  
• Scale the design function from its early roots into a high‑performing team, building the standards, rituals, and mentorship that shape a durable culture of product craftsmanship.
  

This is a dream role for someone who wants to build from first principles, challenge conventions, and lead design at a company where your craft and strategic thinking will shape how an entire industry evolves.

• 
  
• 10+ years of experience designing and leading products with exceptional UX at early‑stage or high‑growth companies.
  
• Track record of executive partnership you’ve sat at the table with product, engineering, and business leaders to shape bold product bets.
  
• Deep experience designing complex platforms or tools, ideally for operations‑heavy domains (e.g., enterprise SaaS, ops systems, AI interfaces).
  
• A belief in the power of agentic AI, and you’re excited to pioneer new design paradigms for intelligent, autonomous systems.
  
• First‑principles thinker with a high bar for craft, your design work reflects creativity, clarity, and restraint.
  
• Obsessed with human psychology, you study what makes people tick, what motivates them, what builds trust, and how to turn tools into emotionally resonant experiences. You understand that good design doesn’t just work, it feels right.
  
• You build with love and care and you see each pixel, interaction, and microcopy as an opportunity to express empathy and respect for the user.
  
• You have high emotional intelligence, you know how to read the needs behind the ask, how to bring people along, and how to balance intuition with evidence.
  
• Strong product instincts and systems thinking, you connect user needs with platform logic and business outcomes.
  
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, legacy workflows, and rapid iteration in a fast‑moving startup environment.
  

• 
  
• This is a demanding role that will often require extended hours and deep commitment.
  
• You’ll need to wade through technical debt and rewrite critical systems while maintaining product velocity.
  
• As a founding team member, you’ll need to wear multiple hats and step outside your comfort zone.
  
• You’ll need to make thoughtful tradeoffs between innovation and immediate needs.
  
• You’ll interact directly with customers to understand their needs and occasionally travel to their offices.
  
• We’re a startup – priorities can shift rapidly as we respond to market opportunities and customer needs.
  
• If you’re not comfortable getting your hands dirty with legacy code or speaking directly with customers, this isn’t the job for you.
  

• 
  
• Great health insurance, dental, and vision.
  
• Gym and workspace stipends.
  
• Computer and workspace enhancements.
