What we’re building

Every company needs to keep track of its finances, and most hire a bookkeeping firm to help do so. But there's no Stripe, Gusto, or Google Apps of this world—no clear best-in-class firm that everyone uses because it delivers a service of unmatched quality and integrates with the tools and workflows to run your business as it grows. Pilot is building a first-of-its-kind, software-centric solution to tackle the financial back office (including bookkeeping, tax, CFO, etc.) so that founders and business owners don't have to.

Our approach is to use software to automate as much of the heavy lifting as possible and giving those software superpowers to a team of finance experts. This means that our customers, business owners across America, can focus on the reasons they started their businesses in the first place, instead of worrying about whether their bookkeeping is being done well.
 

The role

Pilot is looking for Product Designers to help build the future of the financial back office. Responsibilities include:

  • Taking broad conceptual ideas and turning them into delightful solutions.
  • Partnering with Product, Engineering, Research, and Operations to uncover user insights.
  • Directly interfacing with our users to conduct interviews, research, and data gathering to inform design decisions.
  • Contributing to your overall product area by designing end-to-end workflows.
  • Bringing your ideas to life through brainstorming, sketching, prototyping, and high-fidelity mocks.

About you

Our ideal candidate will have at least 3 years of product design experience, and can additionally demonstrate the following:

  • You care deeply about customers and enjoy creating delightful experiences
  • Experience working with an established design system.
  • Highly proficient with design tools (Figma, Sketch, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.)
  • Excellence in design craft
  • Ability to work with a low-ego, highly collaborative, cross-functional team
  • Excited about working in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment

About us

Our 35-person Product, Engineering, and Design org is split into three teams, each with its own missions and charters.
