Product Designer (Hiring Immediately)

Since being founded in 2018, Copper has been building the standard for institutional digital asset infrastructure with a focus on custody, collateral management, and prime services.

Led by Amar Kuchinad, Copper's Global CEO, the firm provides a comprehensive suite of custody, trading and settlement solutions that reduce counterparty risk and bring greater capital and operational efficiency to digital asset markets. At the heart of Copper's offering is Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology – the gold standard in secure custody. Copper’s multi-award winning custody system is unique in that it can be connected to centralised exchanges, DeFi applications and even staking pools without the assets leaving the custody.

Built on top of this state-of-the-art custody, ClearLoop is the first solution in the market that overcomes a growing industry challenge; counterparty risk with exchanges. This solution underpins a full prime services offering, connecting global exchanges, and enabling customers to trade and settle directly from the safety of their MPC-secured wallets. By reducing settlement time for transfers to a few milliseconds (without blockchain network dependency) and offering enhanced security measures, ClearLoop is rapidly reshaping the way asset managers trade and manage capital.

In addition to industry-leading security certifications, Copper has one of the strongest insurance coverages in the industry from an A+ rated insurer, positioning the firm as the partner of choice for institutions seeking to safeguard their assets.

Department/Team Purpose:

With a set of market leading products in custody, settlement, clearing, liquidity access, and our position as a leading infrastructure provider in the industry, Copper is well placed to become a pillar of future digital and tokenised assets industry.

Role Purpose:

We are looking for a talented Product Designer to help us set the institutional standard for the digital asset industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design end-to-end experiences for new and existing products. You'll take ownership of the full design process—from early prototypes and user flows to high-fidelity designs ready for development.
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner with product managers to define problems, work alongside engineers to ensure feasibility and quality.
• Think in systems. Contribute to our design system and create scalable patterns that work across platforms. Your designs should feel cohesive, consistent, and intentional.
• Champion the user. Run discovery sessions, analyse user feedback, and use data to inform design decisions. You'll become an expert on our users' workflows and pain points.

• Visual and interaction design skills. You have a sharp eye for composition, typography, iconography and layout. You know when to create the right type of interaction to guide users and when (not) to use animations in a meaningful way.
• Systems thinking. You understand how individual features connect to our wider suite of products.
• Design tool expertise. You know your tools inside out. We use Figma for our designs and component library.
• Clear communication. You can articulate design decisions to engineers, stakeholders, and users You're comfortable presenting work, soliciting feedback, and building consensus.
• Self-sufficiency and ownership. You manage your time well, prioritise effectively, and know when to ask for help. You're proactive about identifying problems and driving solutions.
