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.
At Modak, our goal is simple and ambitious: to help kids reach their full potential.
We’re building a fintech product that supports kids and teens in developing healthy money habits together with their parents. That means designing experiences rooted in learning, trust, and empowerment, without fear, pressure, or dark patterns. Because our users are families, clarity, motivation, and responsibility are always at the heart of our work.
You’ll join us as our second Product Designer, working closely with product and engineering from day one. You’ll take ownership of meaningful problem spaces, help shape product direction, and see your decisions come to life in the product.
You’ll design experiences across onboarding, rewards, cards, referrals, and learning flows. You’ll also design for two distinct audiences kids and parents thoughtfully balancing motivation with safety, clarity, and trust. There’s real opportunity here to grow your scope, ownership, and depth of product thinking as we build together.
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
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.
