Job Description

About URUR is building a crypto-native money app that gives users access to global banking services - Swiss IBAN accounts, multi-currency cards, and seamless fiat-crypto interaction - all embedded with web3 capabilities. Backed by a regulated Swiss fintech license and embedded within the Mantle ecosystem, we are reimagining banking infrastructure for a decentralized world.

We are currently in beta, with multiple user types and we need someone who obsesses over how these people experience UR - end-to-end.

What You’ll Do• Own the UX Strategy: Lead the end-to-end experience thinking across the product - from onboarding, card activation, and crypto on-ramping, to fiat exits, cross-chain transfers, and KYC loops.

  • Design for User Modes: Understand and design for user context and what that means for their in-app experience, default paths, information surfaces, and UI affordances.
  • Drive User Research: Define what research should be done (qualitative interviews, usage data, surveys, prototypes), the questions we’re answering, and the outcomes we want. Then lead and execute it.
  • UX Writing: Own key UX copy surfaces - from onboarding instructions to empty states, tooltips, and error messages and ensure they are simple, human, and precise.
  • Mentor & Guide Designers: Work closely with our UI-focused designers to raise the UX maturity of the team.
  • Collaborate Cross-functionally: Be a strong partner to product and engineering. Question legacy flows, challenge technical constraints, and help shape UX-informed tradeoffs that move us closer to our user vision.
  • Measure What Matters: Define metrics to measure experience quality (e.g., task success, time to completion, drop-off) and collaborate with product/data to implement and iterate.

Who You Are• Have 7+ years in UX design, preferably in consumer fintech

  • You’ve led UX for a consumer fintech or banking product, ideally in early-stage (0→1) environments.
  • You’ve shipped full user journeys - not just screens - and understand how to design across constraints (legal, regulatory, tech debt).
  • You know that great UX is a cross-functional outcome, and you’re not afraid to challenge team members if something breaks the user promise.
  • You’ve coached designers to think in terms of experience, not just visual design.
  • You write clearly, think in systems, and design with intent.
  • You care deeply about customer experience beyond the app - support channels, delayed KYC triggers, transactional emails, even what a blocked card feels like.

Nice to Have• Exposure to crypto/web3 flows (wallet connections, bridging, gas fees, etc.)

  • Experience working on DeFi, exchanges, or digital wallet products
