Who We Are

CakeClub is a modern personal finance app built to help US-based Gen Z users build financial

freedom without guilt or restriction. Our cash-flow-first approach turns complex money

decisions into simple, intuitive experiences, so users can enjoy life today while building wealth

for tomorrow. By blending proven financial principles, behavioral science, and thoughtful

design, we make money management feel clear, empowering, and stress-free.

Who You Are

You’re a Senior Visual / UI Designer with an exceptional eye and a portfolio that proves it. You

think in systems, sweat the details, and know how to make a screen feel as good as it looks.

You’re fluent in iOS design patterns, deeply comfortable in Figma, and you bring a distinct

visual sensibility that balances premium craft with warmth and approachability.

You have a sharp instinct for making data feel human. You know how to turn numbers, trends,

and financial metrics into visuals that are instantly readable and emotionally resonant, not just

technically accurate. You thrive in a small team where your work is visible and your taste sets

the bar.

Responsibilities

Craft Beautiful, High-Quality UI

  • Own the visual design of our iOS app, including data visualizations, motion, micro animations
  • Translate wireframes and flows into polished, production-ready screens that feel premium, playful, and cohesive
  • Bring our brand guidelines and experience principles (Playful, Luxurious, Supportive,Trustworthy) to life in every interaction

Visualize Financial Data Clearly and Beautifully

  • Design charts, graphs, progress indicators, and data dashboards that make complex financial information feel accessible and actionable at a glance
  • Develop a visual language for data, consistent use of color, scale, labeling, and hierarchy across all data surfaces in the app
  • Balance aesthetic quality with legibility: our users need to understand their cash flow, wealth trajectory, and spending patterns quickly and confidently
  • Design empty states, loading states, and error states for data-heavy screens with the same level of care as the populated versions

Build and Evolve Our Design System

• Develop and maintain a scalable component library in Figma that reflects our brand with

precision

• Expand on and document visual standardsو spacing, color tokens, type scales, icon style,

and component states

• Ensure visual consistency across the entire product surface

Design for Delight

• Concept and spec micro-interactions, transitions, and celebratory moments that make the

app feel alive

• Partner with engineering to ensure animations are implemented true to intent

• Bring a strong point of view on visual storytelling within the product

Support Implementation

• Deliver Figma files that are clean, well-organized, and engineering-ready

• Write clear design specs covering visual details, states, edge cases, and interaction notes

• QA visual output during development to ensure design intent is fully realized

Nice to Have

• Experience designing fintech or consumer iOS apps

• Experience designing data-heavy products (fintech, health, analytics)

• Familiarity with charting libraries (e.g. Victory Native, Recharts, D3) and how they

constrain or enable design decisions

• Understanding of accessibility as it applies to data visualization (color contrast, label

alternatives to color-only encoding)

• Illustration skills or experience art-directing illustrators

• Familiarity with motion design tools

• Comfortable working in Notion

How We Work

We’re a small but mighty, distributed, early-stage teamو which means this role comes with

ownership, impact, and visibility into decisions. We operate lean, move with intention, and care

deeply about the quality of what we ship. You’ll have autonomy over the visual direction of the

product and a team that genuinely values craft
