Senior Product Designer – Design System

Pennylane is building the financial OS (Operating System) for European SMEs. A single source of truth for financial data, used on one side by entrepreneurs to run their business (invoicing and getting paid, paying suppliers and expense management, piloting cash and profitability) and on the other side by their accountant for bookkeeping and fiscal declarations. Saving time for all entrepreneurs and accountants, helping them to make the right decisions and enabling 3rd parties to offer added-value personalised financial services. We’ve launched in France and will expand to other markets in Continental Europe in 2023. Our commercial website is thus in French only but the code is obviously documented in English and our tech team speaks English. We’re product-led, growing fast, backed by strong investors and are starting to hire software engineers anywhere in Europe, to join our experienced remote-first engineering team. The company's HQ are in Paris, but the whole Product team is remote-first.
