Our Why We believe everyone should build wealth. Roots is breaking down barriers to real estate investment for the masses, making it as easy to invest as the stock market.
Why We Need You We’re hiring a Visual Designer (Product UI) to elevate typography, layout, spacing, and component systems across our product and brand surfaces. You’ll be UX‑literate enough to read wireframes, respect the IA, and bring designs to life.
Who You Are
You want to build something meaningful, not just a job.
Strong eye for visual design with fresh ideas and taste.
Comfortable with financial product constraints and pushing boundaries for impact.
Thrives in a fast‑moving, high‑feedback environment where iteration is key.
Clearly articulates design decisions and thought process; your work solves real problems.
Energetic switching between product UI and brand/marketing needs.
Driven, adaptable, and committed to daily improvement.
What We’re Looking For
A portfolio that shows you can do the work – more than years of experience, we care about your ability. Your portfolio must:
Show 2+ visual UI case studies that demonstrate type hierarchy, spacing rhythm, color/contrast, and component reuse.
Be responsive across different screen sizes.
Include your role and rationale (what you did and why), not just final screens.
Must‑Have Skills
Figma proficiency – Text Styles, Auto Layout, Components/Variants, and pragmatic file hygiene.
Strong visual design craft – typography, layout, spacing, grids, and accessible contrast in real product UI.
UX literacy – clear visual decisions that improve comprehension and flow.
Adobe Creative Cloud proficiency for assets/production (Illustrator/Photoshop/After Effects as needed).
Framer familiarity to assist with marketing pages when needed (nice to have, not coding).
Ability to take feedback, iterate quickly, and move work across the finish line.
Education BFA/BA in Graphic/Visual/Communication/Interaction Design
from an art/design program is required. Exceptional non‑degree paths considered only with a craft‑forward portfolio that meets the bar above.
Bonus Points For
Experience in financial services or designing for a regulated industry.
A portfolio from a top‑tier design program.
Experience working at a startup, where you’ve had to be adaptable, solve problems creatively, and build from the ground up.
Why Join Roots?
Your work will help people build real wealth. Every design decision impacts investors growing their financial future.
You’ll be part of a mission‑driven, high‑growth company where your contributions matter.
You’ll shape the future of financial tech and design experiences that change lives.
If this excites you, we want to see your work. Apply with your portfolio and let’s build something impactful together!
