Job Description
This is Adyen
Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Meta, Uber, HM, and Microsoft - making us the financial technology platform of choice. At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition.
For our teams, we create an environment with opportunities for our people to succeed, backed by the culture and support to ensure they are enabled to truly own their careers. We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster.
Senior UI Designer
Adyen is looking for a Heavyweight UI Designer who lives at the intersection of high-end aesthetics and technical innovation. You aren't just a "visual" designer; you are a digital designer who builds scalable, high-fidelity systems.
As a Senior/Heavyweight lead, you will bridge the gap between brand strategy and interactive execution. You will take complex financial concepts and transform them into world-class digital experiences. This role requires a
tech-forward mindset: we are looking for someone who views AI as a fundamental layer of their creative process and Framer as their playground for high-fidelity deployment.
What You’ll Do
Systemic UI Design: Architect and evolve sophisticated UI kits and design systems in Figma that empower our global marketing and product teams.
High-Fidelity Prototyping: Use Framer to bring static designs to life, creating production-ready micro-interactions and immersive web experiences that feel tangible.
AI-Driven Workflows: Lead the charge in integrating AI tools into the design lifecycle, from generative assets to automated layout testing and workflow optimization.
Brand Elevation: Strategically translate Adyen’s value proposition and brand system into impactful digital visuals, ensuring the brand remains premium, cohesive, and cutting-edge across all touchpoints.
Knowledge share: Lead and inspire young designers
Stakeholder Mastery: Present high-level creative concepts to executive stakeholders, advocating for design choices with a blend of data-driven logic and creative intuition.
Global Scalability: Build with a "flex-first" mindset, ensuring UI solutions adapt seamlessly across multiple languages, regions, and device constraints without losing aesthetic integrity.
Execution Ownership: Manage high-stakes projects from initial prompt to final hand-off, maintaining "heavyweight" standards of quality and autonomous project management.
What You Bring
The Experience: 10+ years of professional experience in high-growth environments (top-tier agencies, tech startups, or elite in-house teams).
The Tech Stack: * Mastery: Figma (Components, Variables, Auto-layout) and Framer (CMS, Animations, Components).
Proficiency: Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects).
The Edge: Deep practical knowledge of AI tools (Midjourney, Runway, Magician, etc.) and a hunger for "extra tooling" (e.g., Lottie, Spline, or Rive).
The Portfolio: A showcase of "High Craft." We want to see sophisticated, expert use of grid systems, and digital work that feels "alive."
The Specialist Mindset: You are a UI Specialist . You find joy in the "final 10%", the polish, the motion, and the component architecture.
Note: This is not a UX role. If your passion is user testing, wireframing, or journey mapping, this won’t be the right fit. We want the visual storytellers and the system builders.
The Communication: Full professional fluency in English with the ability to articulate "the why" behind "the what."
The Drive: You are a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment and isn't afraid to "get your hands dirty" in an all-hands-on-deck culture.
The AI-First Philosophy
We don’t just "experiment" with AI; we integrate it. We’re looking for a designer who uses AI to bypass the mundane, accelerate prototyping, and p ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
