BitGo, the digital asset infrastructure company delivering custody, wallets, staking, trading and settlement services, is hiring a Head of Design who still designs.

What we are looking for

• Experience leading design in financial services or another complex technical domain
• Has built and owned a design system at scale, not just used one
• Hands-on in Figma and a role model for craft; has managed and developed designers
• Technically literate with APIs, data models and engineering trade-offs
