Product Designer, EGYPT

nsave is a fintech company headquartered in London. Founded by Amer Baroudi and Abdallah AbuHashem, our vision is to "Protect and grow the wealth of the financially excluded". We have built a global platform that provide trusted USD accounts, global payments, and investments for individuals from distressed economies, where inflation is high and banking systems are unstable. Our compliance-by-design approach and proprietary technology allow us to deliver these services securely and at scale.

To date, nsave has raised $22M from leading investors including Sequoia Capital, TQ Ventures, Y Combinator, and SV Angel. Our team has grown 200% in the last year, and with so much more ahead, we're just getting started!

📍 Location: Egypt (Remote, with good overlap on UK hours)

🧾 Engagement Type: Independent Contractor

As our Product Designer, you will own the entire nsave product experience end to end, from 2027 onwards. You'll be the sole design owner across consumer, business and brand: if a customer sees it, taps it or reads it, it's yours. You'll work directly with our CEO and CTO, alongside engineering, compliance and growth.

• Scope: the nsave consumer app (iOS & Android), nsave Business (business accounts, payroll and cards), the nsave website and brand, and the design system that ties them together.
• Mandate: make a regulated, high-trust financial product feel simple for customers in Egypt, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Syria and beyond, and have a real say in what we build next, not just how it looks.
• Context: since our Series A we've launched nsave Business and opened a corridor into Syria as one of the first fintechs to serve Syrians after sanctions were lifted. The product surface has grown, and we need one person to make it feel like one product.
  

• End-to-end owner: You take problems from research and framing through UX, UI and handover, and stay close until they ship and perform.
• Craft-obsessed: You have a high bar for interaction and visual detail, and the judgement to know when "good enough" ships.
• Commercially minded: You weigh the business impact of design choices and use data and customer insight to decide what to do next.
• Self-directed: You set your own priorities, write clearly, and work well asynchronously across time zones.
• Strong communication skills and sound judgment
• Mission-aligned: You are motivated by the opportunity to help people in financially unstable economies access stable currencies and better financial tools
  

• Own and deliver the full product design lifecycle end-to-end: onboarding and KYC, accounts, cards, transfers, savings and investing
• Design, build, and iterate on a single design system used across the consumer app, nsave Business and web, so engineering can ship faster and more consistently
• Collaborate closely with engineering, compliance, operations and growth to achieve company goals, including designing KYC, screening and risk flows that are robust and still humane to go through
• Run regular customer research across our markets and turn insights and product data into clear design decisions
• Shape the nsave brand across the website, landing pages and marketing assets
• Identify opportunities for improvement, including in our internal ops and compliance tools, and move quickly to implement solutions
• Uphold high standards in execution, security, and compliance
  

• Experience in product design: 4+ years designing digital products, with a portfolio showing shipped mobile and web work and the reasoning behind it
• Experience working in startups, fintech, or regulated environments is strongly preferred (e.g. KYC, onboarding, payments, money movement)
• Strong UX, UI and design systems skills, including working with components and tokens alongside engineers in Figma
• Ability to operate independently and execute in fast-moving environments
• Experience designing for Egypt and the wider MENA region, Arabic and right-to-left interfaces, or B2B/SaaS dashboards is a strong plus
• Brand, illustration or motion skills, and using AI tools in your design and prototyping workflow, are a bonus
  

Alongside professional excellence, we look for people whose values align with ours:

• Service — "Mission First": We put the mission, our customers, and our team above self.
• Urgency — "Stay focused. Move fast": We act with urgency and intention, concentrating on what matters most.
• Ownership — "Act as an Owner": We take responsibility for outcomes end-to-end.
• Standards — "Pursue Excellence": We hold ourselves to high personal standards and continuously improve.
  

Please apply only if you:

• Are deeply motivated by nsave's mission and the problems we are solving
• Thrive in high-ownership, high-accountability environments
• Are comfortable operating with urgency and ambiguity
• Want to build from first principles in an early-stage, high-growth company
