Staff Product Designer

Since 2015, we’ve been building the Shakepay app to make buying and earning bitcoin fast, easy, and secure. In 2022, we launched the Shakepay Card, allowing shakers to earn bitcoin rewards when they shop. Today, more than one million Canadians use Shakepay to grow their bitcoin savings and take control of their financial future. 

We’re regulated across all Canadian provinces and territories, and backed by renowned venture capitalists with a funding of $44M. We have a passionate, loyal, and growing community, and we’re looking for people who want to help us build something truly special.

As a Staff Product Designer, you’ll drive design direction across key areas of the Shakepay product, tackling our most complex and ambiguous challenges. You’ll operate as a force multiplier—raising the bar for craft, influencing product strategy, and helping teams ship better, faster.

You won’t just design experiences—you’ll shape what we build and how we build it. You’ll work across teams, partnering with Product and Engineering leadership to ensure we deliver cohesive, high-quality experiences at scale.
