SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER - EMBED

REPORTING TO: CTO

LOCATION: REMOTE +/- 4HRS GMT

ABOUT KOTA

Kota is making insurance and retirement benefits as accessible as modern software. We have two flagship products, the Kota Platform - the world's first fully integrated benefits platform and Kota Embed - our embedded insurance and retirement product for any platform.

Our mission is to make insurance and benefits more accessible and delightful to this generation of employees.

At Kota, we combine world class engineering with a strong sense of purpose. We build extraordinary user experiences, with curiosity and craftsmanship at the core of everything we do. If you want to work with modern tech, solve meaningful problems and be part of a team that truly cares, you should take a look.

Today, we power benefits for tens of thousands of employees at Europe's most forward-thinking companies, including Carwow, Tines, Zoe, and Remote. Founded in 2022, we've raised more than €20M from leading investors like EQT Ventures, Eurazeo, Northzone, and Frontline, along with founders and executives from Workday, Remote, Personio, OpenAI, and more.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR

Perfect for a senior who wants to think as part of the job (not just ship).

On Kota Embed you design a surface where a sort-order decision moves real money for tens of thousands of people, where the data model is co-designed with the UI, where 6–10 stakeholders are co-present in major decisions, where constraints become design surfaces rather than obstacles, where prototypes are spec, and where the work compounds into a body of named, citable patterns rather than dissolving into ad-hoc Figma files.

At this moment this is not a steady-state senior IC role. It's a "the ground is moving and you need to own the design quality while it does" role.

You need to want that, not just tolerate it.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- A designer who has worked inside a complex product (ideally B2B, double ideally it was API-driven), understands why the data model constrains the interface, and finds that constraint interesting rather than annoying.

- You've shipped something with invisible complexity. Not a marketing site, not a dashboard with toggles. You succeeded, and you can explain how you thought through it.

- Research methods at sprint cadence. 5-user tests, rapid Figma Make/Cursor/Paper prototyping, Datadog/Mixpanel log analysis, facilitating internal design reviews. You also know when to skip research and ship. The mantra: "rough data is better than no data; you can't remove uncertainty - triage it"

- Outcomes-over-outputs discipline. Lock down problem / assumptions / success criteria before agreeing to a solution.

- Systems thinking - promoting patterns to primitives. Recurring interaction surfaces become design-system components.

- UX influence work. Getting devs/stakeholders to attend usability sessions. Building and facilitating ceremonies (standups, retros, backlog grooming) so design becomes shared team context, not an isolated artifact.

- Craft fundamentals. Type, spacing, rhythm, hierarchy. The basics, worked at 400% zoom - quality and speed aren't opposites.

- Builder craft. Cursor / Claude Code comfort. Treating prototypes as spec means producing working prototypes is the design output. Closing the gap between design and engineering rather than widening it.

THINGS YOU MIGHT KNOW ABOUT OR BE INTERESTED IN

- Embedded financial products.

- Fintech, financial services, insurance, or benefits platforms.

- Developer product experiences, understanding of how to design for technical users and embedded/integration-heavy products.

OUR VALUES

- Have Integrity. We care deeply about our why and it won’t jeopardise our how.

- Care Deeply. Our products are our story, we look at the details, go the extra mile to delight customers.

- Own Your Ship. Ask why, do the work, get the data, solve the problem, be an owner.

- Raise the Bar. We continuously look to push past good enough. Expect more, move faster, and never stop raising your and the team’s standards.

- Play to Win. We exist because we decided to say no to the norm – now we do this everyday.

And of course.... Your employee benefits!

- Health Insurance contribution via Kota

- Access to a Workplace Pension with matched contributions up to 5% via Kota

- WFH stipend to support your home office needs

- Group Life Assurance via Kota

- Generous Paid Time Off - work hard and take the time you need

- Annual, company-wide offsite

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
