Who Is Questrade & How Are They Changing the World
Questrade is changing the game for Canadian investors, from first-timers to power users. As the company expands its offering for high-frequency and active traders, design is playing a crucial role in crafting elegant experiences for complex workflows. The team is scaling and this is your opportunity to help define the experience for Canada’s most engaged trading users.
How Will I Make An Impact?
As a Senior Product Designer focused on Questrade’s flagship Active Trader platform, you’ll lead the design of advanced trading experiences that don’t exist anywhere else. This isn’t about optimizing what’s already been done, it’s about creating something entirely new for sophisticated users in a high-performance environment.
You’ll work on never-before-built tools and interactions for Canada’s most advanced retail investors, combining usability, regulatory awareness, and fast-paced innovation.
This means, you will:
- Lead the end-to-end design process across a suite of brand-new, high-stakes trading features
- Design tools and flows where clarity, precision, and speed are essential to user success
- Take full ownership - from research and concept to polished UI, content, and motion- with support from a collaborative team
- Think boldly and experiment with new paradigms in trading UX rather than drawing from existing industry templates
- Use AI tools to streamline research, insights, and design execution
- Translate complex regulatory and trading workflows into intuitive, elegant product experiences
- Help evolve a domain-specific design system that supports scalability and performance
How Do I Know If This Is For Me?
- You’re a quick learner who thrives in new, complex problem spaces
- You bring exceptional logical thinking to your design process
- You’re excited to build entirely new trading tools and features, not just iterate on existing patterns
- You’re energized by end-to-end ownership and want to touch every part of the design process
- You’re fluent in modern UI practices and care deeply about usability and clarity
- You’re comfortable working on high-performance, data-heavy tools where every interaction matters
- You have a technical mindset or some basic coding knowledge, which helps you understand constraints and communicate effectively with engineers
- You’re not intimidated by trading, options, or finance - whether you’re already experienced or ready to ramp up fast
- You’re a team player who collaborates with UX researchers, content strategists, and developers, but can also lead independently when needed
- You’re comfortable commuting to Questrade’s North York office three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday)
Our Ideal Candidate Looks Like:
- 5+ years of UX/UI or product design experience, with 3+ in a senior capacity
- Proven success designing complex tools for power users or high-frequency workflows
- Experience owning end-to-end product design, including research, UI, content, motion, and delivery
- Strong ability to distill complex systems into crystal-clear, user-centric flows
Deep understanding of scalable UI frameworks and design systems - Strong user research chops and a methodical, insight-driven mindset
- Demonstrated ability to work in regulated or high-stakes environments (e.g., trading, healthcare, fintech)
- Proficiency with AI tools that support speed, insight generation, or design workflows
- Bonus: Familiarity with options trading, financial regulations, or advanced investor needs
Please note: This is a hybrid role, with 3 days per week required onsite at Questrade's North York, ON office.
We welcome candidates of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. If you need accommodations throughout the interview process, just let us know.
