About Novo Small businesses are the backbone of the US economy — nearly half of GDP and the private workforce — yet big banks don't give owners the access, assistance, or modern tools they need to grow. We started Novo to change that. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the modern entrepreneur by building the go-to banking platform for small businesses. Novo is a fintech, not a bank. We give entrepreneurs, freelancers, and SMBs an operating system for their money: no-fee business checking, debit and credit cards, loans and funding, payments across every rail (ACH, wires, FedNow), invoicing, bill pay, expense management, and integrations with the tools they already run their business on. We've helped hundreds of thousands of businesses get powerfully simple banking, and we're just getting started. Why Novo? A mission-driven team building for the people big banks pretend don't exist Real ownership: we make decisions that affect real businesses every day, and we trust people to act on that A flat culture where ideas win on merit — hierarchy is not authority Modern stack, modern tooling, and a team that takes AI seriously as part of how we work Competitive salary and stock options for every full-time employee Medical, dental, and vision coverage Learning and development budget Offices in NYC and India, with Wednesday team lunches that rotate cuisines The Role We're looking for a Staff Product Designer to be the highest-leverage individual contributor on our product design team. You'll own the hardest, most ambiguous design problems at Novo — the ones that cut across checking, payments, credit, and invoicing, and across web, iOS, and Android — and you'll set the bar for what great looks like for everyone else. This is not a management role. It is a role with real authority over the quality and coherence of the product. You'll partner directly with product leads, engineering leads, data, and compliance to shape what we build, not just how it looks. You'll multiply the t
