About The Role :

At Ethos, design is core to how we build trust and deliver value.

Were looking for a Product Designer II to join our Platform team and shape the experiences that power customer acquisition and identity verification.

Youll design flows that help people prove who they are - quickly, fairly, and with confidence - across consumer, agent, and microsite touchpoints.

Along the way, youll also influence how internal tools evolve (Workbench, MDM, policy admin) to make our systems smarter and more human-friendly.

From day one, youll contribute to priority projects with strong design execution.

Over time, youll own end-to-end design journeys - from problem discovery and research to prototyping, iteration, and polished delivery.

This is a chance to elevate critical, high-volume experiences that millions of customers depend on, while growing your craft and impact within a collaborative design culture.

Duties And Responsibilities :

- Own design across the lifecycle : from framing problems to prototyping solutions, refining details, and shipping.

- Partner with PM, Eng, and Data to prioritize, experiment, and deliver experiences that balance usability, trust, and growth.

- Learn directly from customers through research, usability testing, and analytics - and translate those insights into clear design decisions.

- Raise the bar for usability, accessibility, and visual quality across identity and verification flows.

- Contribute to design culture by documenting patterns, sharing feedback, and helping Ethos build a cohesive design system over time.

Qualifications And Skills :

- 3 - 6 years of product design experience (in-house or at startups/agencies with shipped impact).

- A portfolio that shows user-centric, first-principled thinking and strong interaction/visual craft with shipped impact.

- Comfort with both discovery and execution - asking the right questions, and then moving quickly to make progress.

- Clear, collaborative communication skills and a bias toward action.

- Bonus : experience with form-heavy UX, complex workflows, or B2B/internal tools; familiarity with KYC/IDV is a plus but not required.

Dont meet every single requirement? If youre excited about this role but your past experience doesnt align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
