BitGo, Toronto, Ontario, Canada +1
This role will require being full-time onsite at our Toronto office to support collaborative team dynamics and innovative problem-solving.
BitGo is looking for a design leader who still designs. You will manage and mentor the design team, own the design system, and sit next to the Chief Product Officer on business strategy.
This is a player-coach role, and we mean it literally. You will carry your own design surfaces and ship them, alongside leading the team. Expect roughly 50% hands-on IC work to start, decreasing as the team scales. It will not go to zero — the person setting the craft bar should be practicing at it.
We are not a design-forward company today. We intend to become one, and we want you to lead that shift.
What success looks like
By six months: the design system has a clear owner, a versioned component library, and measurable adoption. Product teams stop reinventing patterns. You have shipped design work of your own that the team points to as the standard. Every designer knows what their next level requires and has work that supports getting there.
By 12 months: design is in the room early on strategy, not late on execution. Product and engineering partners frame problems in client terms without being asked. The team has grown in size and capability. At least one flagship surface has shipped with a coherent, systemized experience clients notice.
The design team is small, senior, and self-sufficient. Each designer owns a wide vertical outright — trading, staking, DeFi vaults, earn, wallets, financing — with deep product context and strong opinions about the work. They are running at capacity, which is part of why this role carries real IC load: you will pick up the retail mobile experience and design system rather than distributing that work across a team that is already full.
What they have asked for is specific, and we are hiring against it: a leader who gets into the work early with product and engineering rather than arriving at the end, who can critique craft because they still practice it, who tells them plainly what the next level requires, and who gives the team air cover so they can do the deep work instead of patching to hit dates.
