About Saris AI

Saris AI builds AI-powered workflow agents that automate and augment back-office operations for banks and credit unions. Our products live inside highly regulated, high-stakes environments where accuracy, trust, and explainability matter as much as speed. We design for complex systems, real operators, and long-term impact—not flashy demos.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer who thrives in complexity. You’ll lead design across core product areas, turning messy workflows, legacy systems, and regulatory constraints into clear, usable, and trustworthy experiences. This is a hands-on role with real ownership and influence over product direction.

You’ll work closely with the co-founders, product managers, and engineers to shape how banks and credit unions interact with AI workflow agents, often for users who are not technical, but domain experts.

What You’ll Do

  • Own end-to-end design for major product surfaces: discovery, flows, interaction models, and visual systems

  • Design interfaces for enterprise software and complex, multi-step workflows

  • Translate banking and operations requirements into intuitive user experiences

  • Collaborate with PMs to define problems, scope solutions, and make trade-offs

  • Work closely with engineering to ensure high-quality execution

  • Design for trust, transparency, and control in AI-driven systems

  • Create and maintain design systems, patterns, and documentation as the product scales

  • Participate in user research, usability testing, and iterative refinement with real customers

What We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years of product design experience, with significant time in enterprise or B2B software

  • Proven experience designing complex systems (e.g. dashboards, workflows, admin tools, regulated products)

  • Ability to understand and synthesize user problems

  • Strong interaction design and information architecture skills

  • Experience working closely with engineering in fast-moving product teams

  • Ability to balance user needs, technical constraints, and business goals

  • Comfortable designing for ambiguity and evolving requirements

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating problem-solving depth, not just visual polish

Nice to Have

  • Experience in fintech, banking, payments, or regulated industries

  • Experience designing AI-powered or automation products

  • Familiarity with data-heavy interfaces and operational tooling

  • Experience contributing to or leading a design system
