Junior UI/UX Designer

First Circle is one of the fastest-growing fintechs in Southeast Asia, transforming financial services for under-served SMEs. We’ve already revolutionized access to credit for thousands of small businesses in the Philippines — and now we’re building a full-stack Neobank with multi-currency bank accounts, payments, FX, corporate credit cards, and payroll.

Backed by our successful Series B, we are scaling fast. To help us deliver world-class customer experiences, we’re looking for a Junior UI/UX Designer who brings creative vision, product intuition, and extremely high personal standards to every pixel and interaction.

When we say exceptional UX, we mean it. Small business owners in the Philippines have suffered long enough with clunky, poorly designed tools. We’re here to change that — to create banking experiences that are as intuitive, beautiful, and world-class as any global product.

What you'll do

• Design user-centered products that elevate the customer experience — functional, seamless, and aesthetically beautiful.

• Create and maintain consistent design systems, UI components, and visual standards.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and our head of brand to ensure design excellence.

• Familiarity with native mobile design (iOS & Android), platform-specific design patterns, and responsive web design.
• Experience with Figma or similar design/prototyping tools.
• Strong product intuition: ability to turn ambiguous requirements into elegant design solutions.
• Attention to detail, from typography and spacing to user flows and interactions.
• Curiosity, humility, and a growth mindset — always seeking feedback and learning.
• Excellent communication skills to present ideas clearly and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

• Competitive compensation (we pay above market for the right talent).
• HMO coverage from day one.
• Free catered lunches, MacBook Air provided, monthly fitness allowance, transportation & accommodation allowance, and more.
• Work with a passionate, collaborative team that values feedback, creativity, and continuous improvement.
